Showtime Anytime

When will Showtime Anytime http://www.sho.com/sho/showtime-anytime be available on Dish?

No plans for it I have seen anywhere. And there are already threads about it if you want to read more. Here's one;

Has anyone else heard updates on this?

I did ask Dish recently, and they made it sound like they were working on it but it was not available yet.

I think that is BS because there is nothing to work on...they just have to work out an agreement with Showtime to accept our accounts and we can watch the same historical content that everyone else who pays for Showtime gets to enjoy!

Anyway, curious what you've heard...

Dish says they have been working on it for some time now. I doubt we will hear anything until it is made available.

Given that Time Warner Cable got access to Showtime Anytime last month (although still not available) only after battling CBS over carriage rates (CBS pulled Showtime off TWC), we probably will not see it on Dish until the next CBS renewal. Looks like CBS charges for this access.

Dish last negotiated CBS rates a few months before the Hopper came out. Given that CBS is now suing Dish they are probably not really in a mood to bargain over SHO Anytime.

"Showtime Anytime, the channel’s streaming service, will be available to all Showtime subscribers sometime before the end of the year."

Almost fell asleep reading that.

To save the rest of the population from what I just went through, the one line about Showtime anytime being available is at the very bottom of the boring, rubbish. In fact do yourself a favor, just know Showtime expects all subscribers to be able to use the anytime service....

Now if ABC and Dish come to an agreement over Autohop where Dish keeps it and ABC is happy about it (i.e. getting some $$ from Dish), CBS has already stated that they would love to be in on the action too and I would expect CBS to be next in line to get some Autohop $$... Then maybe CBS and Dish can come to an agreement with respect to Showtime Anytime.
