How Do I Cancel My Discovery Plus Subscription On Roku

Picture this: you've binged every 90 Day Fiancé spin-off known to humankind. Or perhaps you've finally seen enough of Chip and Joanna Gaines to last a lifetime. Now, it’s time to say, “Goodbye, Discovery Plus, hello, newfound freedom!”

So, you're ready to untangle yourself from the world of true crime and home renovations. And you're doing it all through your trusty Roku. Let's get started on how to break free from your streaming companion.

The Roku Remote Rendezvous

First, grab your Roku remote. This little clicker is about to be your best friend (or perhaps your ex-best friend if you're blaming it for your current streaming addiction!).

The Home Screen Hunt

Press the Home button. It’s usually shaped like, well, a house. You'll arrive at the main Roku screen, filled with all your app icons.

Channel Chicanery

Now, carefully navigate to the Discovery Plus icon. Don't click it! We're not trying to watch another episode of anything just yet. We're here to break up, remember?

The Starry-Eyed Selection

Instead of pressing "OK," find the * (star) button on your remote. This is the magic button, the key to unlocking the subscription settings.

Pressing the star button summons a secret menu! It appears on the screen with options related to the channel.

Manage Your Subscription

Within this menu, look for something that says "Manage subscription" or "View subscription." Select it.

Here's where the real action begins. You might need to enter a PIN if you set one up for your Roku account.

Once in the subscription management area, find the "Cancel subscription" button. It might be hiding, perhaps a little ashamed of its duty. It's time to push that button, just like ripping off a band-aid.

You will often have to confirm your decision. Some subscriptions are clingy, and they want you to stay. But stand firm!

Roku will present you with a series of options. They’ll suggest pausing your subscription or switching to a lower tier. But stay strong!

The Website Way (For the Tech-Savvy Soul)

Alternatively, you can manage your subscriptions on the Roku website. This is for those who prefer the comfort of a full-sized screen and keyboard.

Go to my.roku.com on your computer or phone. Log in to your Roku account using the same credentials you use on your TV.

Find the "Manage my subscriptions" section. It's usually buried somewhere in your account settings.

Locate Discovery Plus in your list of subscriptions. Proceed to cancel it, following the on-screen prompts.

A Few Final Flourishes

After canceling, you’ll usually still have access to Discovery Plus until the end of your current billing cycle. Squeeze in a few more guilty pleasures!

Keep an eye on your email for a confirmation message from Roku. This is your official "it's not me, it's you" letter.

And there you have it! You've successfully navigated the choppy waters of Roku subscription cancellation. Now, go forth and explore the vast (and hopefully less addictive) world beyond Discovery Plus. Who knows what streaming adventures await?
