Intro
Yes, you can watch Showtime anytime live from your home too, but there are a few things 
to consider including Showtime anytime's home network guidelines and its relationship 
with different devices. Check the detailed guide on Showtime anytime not working on a 
fire stick.
In this guide, we explain exactly what is removed from Showtime anytime's restrictions at 
home, as well as the guidelines for the home network in general.

Showtime anytime doesn't prohibit subscribers from watching their on-
demand or live TV service when they are away from home. However, the 
rules differ depending on the device you are using to access the service.
Regardless of the device, almost all of the limitations are due to Showtime 
anytime's definition of the home network.

Understanding Showtime anytime's Home Network Policy
Showtime anytime classifies its live TV subscription service as a single home service. For 
this reason, Showtime anytime does not allow access to a Showtime anytime + Live TV 
subscription in two different households.
Instead, Showtime anytime requires new subscribers to assign a live TV subscription to a 
home network within 30 days of signing up. Once set, the subscription is permanently 
bound to this Wi-Fi network as a home network.
The effects of this rule apply primarily to what Showtime anytime calls "living room" 
devices. Devices that fall into this category cannot access 
Showtime anytime com activate + Live TV outside of the home network.

The single home policy does not affect mobile devices as they are designed to be used 
on the go. As a result, subscribers can access Showtime anytime + Live TV from virtually 
any mobile device when they are away from home. Devices that let you watch Showtime 
anytime live on the go:
● Android smartphones
● Android tablets
● iOS smartphones
● iPad
● Laptops
Here, too, there are a few points that even mobile users need to consider in order to 
ensure uninterrupted viewing. Most importantly, mobile devices must check into the 
specified home network every 30 days.

Check in Showtime anytime home
● Showtime anytime live requires mobile devices to check in every 30 days
● This means that anyone who is away from home for more than 30 days is likely to 
no longer be able to access Showtime anytime + Live TV on mobile devices.
● Checking in is fairly easy as all the subscriber needs to do is open the app on a 
mobile device when connected to the home network. From this point on, the 30-day 
limit begins again.
● Another, but expected, limitation is that mobile devices can only access live TV if 
they are connected in the US.

Using Showtime anytime with a VPN
Because of its reliance on being connected to a specific home network, attendees cannot 
access Showtime anytime + Live TV from a living room device when using a VPN.
Showtime anytime Live works well with cell phones that use a VPN, but not with devices 
in the living room
Whenever the Wi-Fi network differs from the home network specified, the Showtime 
anytime app displays a warning explaining that the service cannot be used until the 
device reconnects to the home network.
This does not affect using a VPN on mobile devices, as mobile devices are allowed to 
connect to Showtime anytime in locations outside the home. However, subscribers may 
run into problems if they try to access the mobile app while they have been continuously 
connected to a VPN for more than 30 days.
