Subscribers of the CBS All Access can also gain access to this service on iOS, Android and Windows 10 devices, via CBS App. They can also stream over the Internet via CBS.com. The service is also supported by rival set-top boxes, such as Roku TV, Roku players, Android V, Chromecast and Apple TV.
It was early October when the CBS All Access was launched. The announcement came hot on the heels of the news that HBO would offer a stand-alone HBO streaming service without any cable subscription needed.
