I downloaded the 30 day free offer for Showtime. I do not want to subscribe but cannot find any way to get rid of it. I need help from apple about this but don't want to pay 29 dollars for it. does anyone have a phone number for Showtime or any way to unsubscribe. Thank you.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9)
I have done this to cancel my AcornTV account through AppleTV. But I cannot get rid of the account all together. I have signed up for AcornTV directly with AcornTV and am able to view my new account through their app on my iPhone and my iPad, but when I try to log in with my new account on AppleTV I get the message that I already have an account and have to renew to access it.

Hi BillBooz. Try deleting the Acorn TV app on Apple TV. Then download it again. When you first open the new app, it may give the option to use the old account, or enter new credentials. That's the way some apps work on iOS, and it may be the same on TV. Please reply if this works, since I'm just guessing here.
Great idea and one I should have thought of, Diana, BUT it didn't work! Problem is that that original signup created a unique ID for an account associated with my AppleID and I cannot get rid of it. When I try to log in with different AcornTV account info (different e-mail and password), Apple TV comes back and says I must renew my subscription and blocks log in.
You need to go into your subscriptions and turn off auto-renewal
Thank-you - that worked. The thing was I did not know to go into iTunes Account and unsubscribe from there. I kept trying to contact Showtime and then when I did go to iTunes I did not know that I had to go to Account, then settings to unsubscribe. I am writing all this down in case someone else needs the info.
You would need to contact them directly to sort that out
But thank you for the idea, Diana!
How do I cancel Showtime on Apple TV.
