As we approach the month of March, we can look forward to another great month of shows on Acorn TV – including the return of the much-loved Canadian series Murdoch Mysteries.
If you don't already have Acorn TV, you can sign up HERE. If your smart TV isn't compatible with the Acorn TV app, or if you just prefer the convenience of Amazon's Prime Video platform and combined billing (for those who use multiple streaming services via Amazon), you can sign up HERE instead.
Regardless of how you subscribe, it's easy to cancel ONLINE when and if you choose. Both options have the same programming (we've checked on a number of occasions), but some people report that one or the other seems to give them a better streaming experience – and Amazon occasionally has a very slight delay when adding or removing shows.

Sarah Lancashire stars as Catherine Cawood, a West Yorkshire police sergeant who's faced more than her fair share of tragedy and hardship. Her community of Calder Valley is also known as Happy Valley for its drug problems – and her only daughter committed suicide after giving birth to a son.
Catherine believes local drug dealer and all-around bad guy Tommy Lee Royce (James Norton, Grantchester) is responsible for the sequence of events that led to her daughter's death. When she learns he's been released from prison, she makes it her mission to find him – not realising he'll be central to another case she's working on.
