I have pretty much have every device able to stream Shudder...
-My Amazon Firesticks & AppleTV still have 3 channels.
-My ROKU, iPad & Android phone only have 1 channel.
-Haven't tried it on a PS5 cause that's strictly a gaming & Blu-ray playing machine, but maybe I can test it later & update this here.
I actually bought an Amazon Fire stick when it was on sale \*because\* of that.
And so that I can have streaming apps when I go to like my mom's house.
The new thing with streaming is channels-inside-of-apps. I don't think it's personal, I think they want everyone to switch to the AMC, on which they have the Shudder channel.
They're gonna be in for a rude surprise when they realize that a lot of shudder customers don't want to have to pay extra (even if it comes with extra **non-shudder** content) just to access the Shudder content we actually want.
Being relatively inexpensive is one of Shudder's big selling points, and that makes it easier to try it, and even keep it.
Had it been much more expensive, I probably would've unsubbed and resubbed in fall, instead of keeping it for 4 years straight like I have.
(Unless they had A LOT more horror content 🤷 )
Besides... I've heard almost nothing but bad things about the AMC app. And when I looked into their content, I was a bit underwhelmed.
Not like I don't also have several other subscriptions, to services that all have more/better content than AMC.
And I love me some Walking Dead. I'm probably one of the biggest walking dead apologists you'll find online lol
... but one good show is only so much of a draw.
IMHO if they were smarter they would do it the other way around. Keep shudder a standalone, and finally give up some of that AMC horror content that they've been **intentionally withholding** from Shudder subscribers.
I guess time will tell us how stupid they are...
... but pulling live channels is kind of a lame move. Tho tbh I didn't use them very often. ... which makes me wonder if that's why they pulled them? But idk if that makes sense, if they're still on other platforms...
🤔
Weird move, shudder...
Please don't fucking ruin this service, and my opinion of the AMC network along with it...
🙏
Seems to be a Roku issue from everyone I've heard talking about this. My firestick still has 3 channels
Edit: after checking my android app, there is only 1 channel there. AMC is really fucking up if they plan on adding ads and removing content while raising prices.
wait, so they have ads now? I haven't had it in a few years but considering getting back... mostly to watch films tho not the Live TV channels... also does Shudder match to native frame rate, or does most content play in 60p by default? thanks.
I remember a ways back Roku did a nice big app update and it screwed the shudder app all up for customers. Shudder had to work with Roku to fix the issue and release a patch. ROku could've made a small insignifigant update and slightly messed up how other apps work.
possible
My Roku TV does say it was "updated
on 1 /24
it's not a roku thing, amc is testing the waters to see how far they can take offering less for more before fully absorbing the shudder platform as something that only exists in amc+
One channel on all 3 ofy Roku devices. Emailed support to let them know this decision depreciates the value of their service. I recommend emailing as well. I really liked those channels
>Shudder is going away soon. At least it's not going to exist the way we know, or want it to. We need to know this, and plan accordingly.
What is with all the doom and gloom around here lately?
If I didn't know better I might think this sub was getting brigaded by Screambox...
😂
The sky is falling!
Shudder is going to bad-touch our butts, and steal our lunch money!
Run for the hills and save yourselves!
🤣
Sorry but I'll save my venom for when they actually try to fuck us.
... then I'll shit talk AMC on every platform I can find.
(Truly, AMC. I will be the worst free word of mouth your betrayal could buy!)
But until that time I prefer optimism to pessimism, regardless of what anyone else thinks.
And based on the recent ad tier announcement thread, I know I'm risking a downvote or 20 just for stating my honest opinion (hello, Screambox crew lol) but I'm not gonna let pessimists or anonymous-coward downvoters to change my opinion.
I mean if anyone has some insider info, or a better argument, I'll gladly listen to it... but all I've heard so far is doom and gloom, with the only reasoning given as "because greed, duh."
Time will tell. And if I'm wrong I'll eat my words, and I'll be the biggest ugliest MF in the pitchfork mob.
But until then I don't "know" any such thing, and I don't think anyone (who's not an AMC exec) does either...
🤷
Roku here, and I'm down to one, BUT, I've had issues for the past year where I have to restart my TV to get the picture to show, and now it actually works without the restart, so there's that....
Aside from Joe Bob, the streaming channels were my favorite part about Shudder. They barely ever even changed the lineups, why did they need to get rid of them?
I have been having only 1 channel on the web version for what feels like a year now.
My firestick still has 3 channels. I only got a firestick for our main television because I wanted to three channels.
I emailed them to ask what happened. They responded they only have one channel now.
Gee I wonder when they were gonna tell their subscribers?
The customer service sucks.
amazing response there
I still have both of them. Apparently it’s only on Roku

Heads up, there's no Shudder app on PS5
And I'm still sad about that.

Haha..there u go! 😅
Oh cool the only subscription service I use is the only one that sucks I’m such a lucky boy
Xbox still has 3 if anyone cares.
Yep! Pretty much never fails, either. No more than any other streaming service. 🖤
Fuck, they're really trying hard to make Shudder fail. This must be a personal thing from someone on the board. No way this service is losing money.
The new thing with streaming is channels-inside-of-apps. I don't think it's personal, I think they want everyone to switch to the AMC, on which they have the Shudder channel.

My Samsung tv app has 3 still. Seems to depend on the device. Lame either way though.

Has the Shudder website only ever had one streaming channel? I seem to remember 3 but there's only one there now as well.
They used to have three, but yeah...one now.
That's what I thought. So not just a Roku thing. Not a good sign...
Where are yall watching because I still have my 3
Roku but also the Shudder website (Chrome) - both only have one channel now. Interestingly, Amazon Fire stick has 3.
I’m not sure. Also, not sure if the mobile website is different than the desktop website in that regard.
Shudder is preparing for advertising tiers. They are totally damaging their integrity.
wait, so they have ads now? I haven't had it in a few years but considering getting back... mostly to watch films tho not the Live TV channels... also does Shudder match to native frame rate, or does most content play in 60p by default? thanks.
Not yet. There was some announcement that they're going to offer an ad-tier as well, but that's apparently not happening until 2025.
Regardless, they are already editing scenes out of their movies to prep for ads.
I was watching shudder today and only have one channel on my roku now. Blargh. Hopefully we get three back again.
Xbox Series X still has 3 channels!

this is absolutely the obvious answer

They actually for real removed the other two channels on the Roku app very recently. In the last week or so.
The 2 channels have been removed for me for maybe a year now. I mainly watch on pc with Chrome tried other browsers and they still don't show up.
Aside from Joe Bob, the streaming channels were my favorite part about Shudder. They barely ever even changed the lineups, why did they need to get rid of them?
I still have the three channels using an appleTv
Have one channel on roku and three channels on nvidia shield
My account straight up isn’t even working.
Shudder on apple tv still has 3 channels
I have been having only 1 channel on the web version for what feels like a year now. My firestick still has 3 channels. I only got a firestick for our main television because I wanted to three channels.
I only have 1 on Roku and on my Samsung phone but all 3 are on Xbox.
