Searching for a title across the vast ocean of streaming providers. Login/Join

There are too many media service providers. I use 3-4 out of the many available.

Sometimes I'd like to watch a particular title. Is there a way to search across service providers, both subscribed and unsubscribed? I may consider a temporary subscription to watch the title.

But I have no way to figure out where a title might be available.

IMDB does list some of the services.

Also, a search on Roku will usually show which services might have the show.

I just Google the title with the word streaming at the end. For example “Wizard of Oz streaming”.

That’s what I do and I find it’s pretty accurate.

What you're looking for is Justwatch.com.

The site can be picky about which browser settings it needs before the searchbar at the top actually works, but if you know the name, it'll tell you where it's currently available.

What device do you use to stream?
I have 1 Vizio TV and I put whatever I am looking for in the search bar and it brings it up and gives me an option of streaming options.

Amazon FireTVs do the same.

My XBOX does not

There is also an app for "Just watch" that I use on the iphone. One of my most used apps.

Thanks for the info, this always drove me crazy trying to find where a movie is available to stream.

Yep just Google, it will give you a drop down menu or link showing who has it and how much.
