How to share Showtime videos on AppleTV as a part of family sharing

We're part of a family sharing group; our son is the organizer. System preferences show that we are sharing AMC and Showtime. When I tried to use those on our AppleTV, I managed to have setup a separate subscription for Showtime instead. Is there a fix?

Showtime can be accessed as Apple TV app Channel, and Showtime can be accesses in the separate Showtime app.

The types of subscriptions for these are not exchangeable as such. They have different terms and conditions, different perks and limitations.


  1. Cancel the unwanted subscription. If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support If you are still in the trial period, then you can cancel without cost.
  2. Access Showtime in the same manner as what the shared subscription is for/​how the shared subscription was started. Use the right app.
