Streaming Starz In Belize: What's The Deal?

Belize has widespread cable and satellite television access, with all companies offering over 100 channels as a standard package. About two-thirds of the programming originates in North America, and major networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and Fox are standard. Movie channels such as HBO and Starz are also available, along with major sporting events on pay-per-view. STARZ is a streaming service that offers ad-free streaming, full downloads of series and movies, and streaming on up to four devices at a time. However, it is currently only available in the US and certain US territories. So, does the STARZ app work in Belize?

STARZ app availability in Belize

The STARZ app is a video streaming service that offers ad-free, on-demand access to a library of original series, movies, and documentaries. While the app is available for download in Belize, its online services are currently only accessible through participating partners in the U.S. and certain U.S. territories. This means that even if you have downloaded the app in Belize, you may not be able to stream content on it unless you are in the specified regions.

In Belize, television access is widely available through on-air, cable, and satellite options. All cable companies offer over 100 channels as a standard package, with about two-thirds of the programming originating in North America. Popular U.S. networks such as NBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, and Fox are standard, and movie channels like HBO and Starz are also available. The channel lineup includes programming in various languages, including Spanish, Mandarin, and Hindu, to cater to the diverse immigrant communities in Belize.

If you are a STARZ subscriber through a U.S. television provider, you can download the app and stream content at no additional charge through your TV subscription. However, it is important to note that Comcast/Xfinity does not currently allow subscribers to log into the STARZ app. Alternatively, if you do not have a TV subscription, you can create an account within the app and subscribe to stream STARZ content.

The STARZ app offers monthly and annual subscription options, providing unlimited streaming of all content. The app also allows streaming on up to four devices simultaneously and the ability to download content for offline viewing. While the app is generally well-received, some users have reported issues with the app's functionality, such as problems with autoplay and streaming reliability.

STARZ app reviews

STARZ is a premium subscription service owned by Lionsgate, which offers a library of movies and shows, as well as original content. The STARZ app is available on numerous devices, including smartphones, tablets, and smart TVs.

Reviews of the STARZ app are mixed. Some users have praised the layout and content, with one review stating:

> "I loved missing, both of them were outstanding, great actors, really good storyline, hope there will be many more."

However, other reviews have criticised the app for being confusing and poorly designed. One user wrote:

> "The app takes forever to load. When it does all the content images are missing. The app closes and fails more consistently than it works. I can't believe I pay for this service. I think I'm gonna have to cancel if you can't at least get the streaming app to work properly. What's the point in having this? I am realizing that I always try to open Stars and find my favorite shows and movies, but then get annoyed and end the app going to a different streaming service. Don't waste your time on this app."

Another user had issues with the autoplay feature, stating that they "could not find a setting in any of the menus to adjust this".

Some reviews also mention issues with the free trial, with one user saying:

> "My trial isn't going so well. I was just using the app an hour ago but now I'm logged out. I was sent an email with a link to reset the password, but that pulls up your main website where I'm already logged in and there's no way to change the password without knowing it."

Overall, while some users seem to be satisfied with the STARZ app, others have encountered technical issues and design problems that have negatively impacted their experience.

Cable TV in Belize

Belize has a very short TV history. Television entered Belize in the late 1970s with VHS playback machines, and the broadcast of international TV signals via cable hook-up began in the early 1980s. Today, cable TV is widely available in all towns and cities, including the suburbs. Cable television rates in Belize average $20–$30 per month and generally include about 90–125 television channels, including HBO, Cinemax, SyFy, Showtime, STARZ, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, and FOX.

In 2014, Belize cable TV providers began to interlink their head ends via fibre optic cable to modernise their networks, resulting in the provision of High Definition channels. Cable television companies now offer a minimum of 50 High Definition channels, along with a mix of digital and analog channels. However, HDTV in Belize is currently limited to 780p resolution.

The local cable operators also throw in Arab, British, Mexican, Indian, and Chinese channels, as well as Pay Per View Channels. Some of the local cable-only television stations broadcasting 24 hours a day include:

• Channel 3 from Orange Walk with News
• Krem Television from Belize City, with WUB Wake up Belize and a lot of music
• Love Belize from Belize City, with News and the Love FM Morning Show
• San Pedro Channel 7 From San Pedro, with the Morning Show and local events
