Seems Showtime has now followed HBO Now's lead and is making itself available to stream on Roku without a subscription. A free 30-day trial (with credit card, of course...) is available and then after that it is USD$10.99 per month:

 

 

 

 

For the first time ever, SHOWTIME is available to stream with a monthly subscription over your Roku device. Watch award-winning Original Series like Ray Donovan, Homeland, Shameless, Masters of Sex, Penny Dreadful and more. Catch up on old favorites like Dexter and Weeds, plus get sports, hit movies, exclusive documentaries and comedy specials—all commercial free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With SHOWTIME, you can also watch what’s airing live, including new series premieres and the biggest names in boxing.

 

 

 

 

Anyone keen to see if a New Zealand credit card will work? I already have a legit subscription :).

Interesting to see the following statement on the bottom of the email I received: "SHOWTIME is intended for viewing solely in the United States and its territories and possessions with a high-speed broadband connection." It says intended, but doesn't explicitly state it can't be viewed outside the US :)

Cheers,
