Question 1

Where is MGM+ available?

Accepted Answer

MGM+'s US D2C (mgmplus.com) covers only the United States plus 6 US territories (PR, GU, VI, MP, AS). This is one of the narrowest D2C footprints in streaming (tier-matched with MGM+ US, 4 stars). Internationally it ships via Amazon Prime Video Channels in 30+ countries: Europe (DE, AT, IT, ES, NL, GB) and 20+ LatAm countries (MX, BR, AR, CL, CO, PE, etc.). The remaining ~150+ countries (France, Nordics, JP/KR/HK/TW, SE Asia, AU/NZ, most MEA) are not served.

Question 2

What is MGM+?

Accepted Answer

MGM+ is an ad-free SVOD streaming service operated by Amazon MGM Studios. It started on 2009-10-30 as the Epix pay-TV channel (originally a Viacom 49.76% / Lionsgate 42% / MGM 20.24% JV); Epix Now streaming launched on 2019-02-10; Amazon completed its USD 8.5B MGM acquisition on 2022-03-17; and the service was rebranded from Epix to MGM+ on 2023-01-15. Parent: Amazon.com, Inc., under Amazon MGM Studios led by Michael Wright. Content includes the MGM 7000+ catalog (James Bond, Rocky, Pink Panther

Question 3

Why is MGM+ unusable outside the US?

Accepted Answer

MGM+ D2C (mgmplus.com) is hard-restricted to the US + 6 US territories (US/PR/VI/GU/AS/MP). The App Store error reads exactly: MGM+ is only accessible in the US and certain US territories. Outside the US, subscribe to the MGM+ channel inside Amazon Prime Video (30+ countries; EUR 3.99/mo in Europe). Technically MGM+ runs on Amazon AWS (CloudFront + AWS WAF) alongside IMDb and Freevee, sharing the same anti-bot + geo-gate stack. Combined with the IP + credit card + account-region triple check, VP

Question 4

Can I watch MGM+ in Europe?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but via Amazon Prime Video Channels as an add-on, with no standalone app. Coverage: UK, DE, AT, IT, ES, NL (EUR 3.99/mo in Europe); LatAm added 2024-04 (MX, BR, AR, CL, CO, PE, VE, EC, UY, PY, BO, CR, PA, DO, GT, SV, HN, NI, HT, JM, BZ, BS, 20+ countries). France, Poland, Switzerland and the Nordics (SE/NO/DK/FI) are currently not served. Bonus: after Lionsgate+/Starzplay withdrew from UK/EU in 2024, their flagship titles (Power, BMF, Outlander, Mad Men) migrated to MGM+ International as E

Question 5

Are Epix and MGM+ the same service?

Accepted Answer

Yes — same service. It was renamed from Epix to MGM+ on 2023-01-15 (previously Epix Now streaming since 2019, and originally the Epix pay-TV channel from 2009). Amazon rebranded it after completing the MGM acquisition in 2022-03 to emphasize the MGM brand. Key detail: the Android package name is still com.epix.epix.now (never renamed); older App Store reviews still reference Epix. Searching Epix in today's stores yields no result — search MGM+ instead.

Question 6

Are there cheaper ways to subscribe to MGM+ than D2C?

Accepted Answer

Yes. US D2C (mgmplus.com) is USD 7.99/mo or USD 61.99/yr (7-day free trial) — but partner cable/streaming bundles can be cheaper:

Question 7

Can I use a VPN with MGM+?

Accepted Answer

Technically yes, but strictness is 4-star — tier-equal to DIRECTV Stream, stricter than BritBox (3-star), looser than Netflix (5-star). MGM+ lives on Amazon AWS (CloudFront + AWS WAF) sharing anti-bot with IMDb/Freevee, on top of a triple IP + credit card + account-region check, so shared-datacenter VPNs are caught easily. Tips: (1) use a residential IP or quality VPN with dedicated IP, (2) have a US billing address on the card (otherwise signup fails), (3) pick a stable US node and avoid freque

Question 8

Why do check results differ from actual use?

Accepted Answer

AF3's result only represents IP accessibility at that moment — a one-time snapshot. We cannot monitor your network after the check. Accessible does not mean smooth streaming. If the check passes but you experience buffering or slow loading, common causes include: These are all VPN provider issues, unrelated to AF3's check. Contact your VPN provider directly or try a different node/protocol.
