I talked to every human I could get on the phone and received no help whatsoever from them. I received the same prepared answer from each person separately. There was authenticity in any of the responses or any sense of concern with my issue!

Original review Oct 25, 2025

I spent a week trying to cancel my subscription on line with no success. The phone number listed gives more automated responses and no help.

You have to give a star to write a review.

I guess that accounts for the 1 in your 1.7 overall rating in customer service. Then you have to write 100 characters to leave a review..

When I tried to go back to a series I was watching, it stopped me and asked if I wanted a Trial. It continued to not recognize that I am a paying customer already. Calling Customer Service didnt get me anywhere.

I have starz on my Samsung TV but can't connect it to my rokiu TV saying I have to pay again

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Can't connect to my Roku TV, and I have a subscription on my Samsung TV already. I have had it for a while.

I tried to connect it to my Roku TV, but it keeps telling me to subscribe. I don't want to have to pay for it two times because I did that before, so I'm hoping you can help me connect it to my Roku TV without paying for it twice.

To respond to Starz Report of What happened

Locked out again. I am a paid customer through next spring and I continue to not be recognized and am asked to signup.

I do have a terrible time getting to my movie. Can you tell me why this keeps happening?

I was very able to find the Stars app. It just asked me if I wanted a trial. Tried many times and she asked me to turn off my tv and turn it back on.

I knew this wouldnt work and it didnt.

I tried to copy a code from the tv but that didnt work. She left me instructions how to do exactlly what we did but when I try it wont accept my password and asked me again if I wanted a trial.

No resolution.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I signed up for the promo on Facebook, and it took my money but will not let me log in. It asked me to change my password but then took me to the STARZ menu and asked me to pick a new plan.

I can't get past the robot for assistance unless I pay $5 more for help. I already lost $12 and will not risk another dime to resolve this.

Starz charged my account more than the promotional amount of 29.99 a year. They charged me 44.90. If I can't resolve this issue, I will cancel the subscription.
