How to Cancel a MagellanTV Subscription [Step by Step]
MagellanTV is an ad-free documentary streaming service. Official US plans are $5.99 a month or $59.88 a year, which works out to $4.99 a month on the annual plan. The website also sells a one-time lifetime membership.
Charges auto-renew until you cancel. Deleting the MagellanTV app does not stop billing. This guide shows how to cancel a MagellanTV subscription on the website or through Apple, Google, Roku, or Fire TV, and how to confirm the next charge is off.
What Is MagellanTV and How Billing Works
MagellanTV streams history, science, nature, space, true crime, and similar documentary titles. You can watch on the website, phones, tablets, and supported TVs.
Website billing uses a card or a digital wallet such as Apple Pay or Google Pay. Official FAQs say PayPal is not available at website checkout.
If you subscribed inside an app, the store bills you. MagellanTV’s FAQ lists in-app signup on Android, iOS, Roku, Fire TV, and Vizio. MagellanTV cannot cancel those store plans from its website.
The App Store also lists a quarterly plan, commonly about $17.99, and an annual price of about $59.99. Store prices can differ slightly from the website. Promo first-month or first-year rates may appear at checkout, then renew at the regular price unless you cancel.
Look at your latest receipt before you start. A MagellanTV website charge is canceled in your MagellanTV profile menu. An Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon charge must be turned off in that account.
How to Cancel Through the Website
Use this path if you signed up at magellantv.com.
- Open a browser and go to magellantv.com.
- Sign in with the email and password on your receipt.
- Select the profile icon in the upper right. It looks like a person.
- Open the menu and choose Cancel.
- Follow the prompts until the page confirms auto-renewal is off.
- Note the date your access ends.
- Save a screenshot and watch for any confirmation email.
Official help says cancellation applies to the next billing cycle. You keep watching through the period you already paid for. That is not a refund.
If you do not see Cancel, you are likely billed by a store or device account. Use the matching section below instead of repeating the website steps.
How to Cancel Through Apple or Google
MagellanTV’s FAQ sends in-app iOS and Android members to Apple and Google. The company cannot change those charges from your MagellanTV profile.
On iPhone or iPad
- Open Settings.
- Tap your name.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap MagellanTV.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
You can also manage the plan at account.apple.com or apps.apple.com/account/subscriptions. Turn off auto-renew at least 24 hours before the period ends. If Family Sharing was used, the Apple Account that bought MagellanTV must cancel.
On Android
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile photo.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Tap MagellanTV.
- Tap Cancel subscription and confirm.
You can review the same plan at play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions. After you cancel, the store should show an end date, not a renewal date.
How to Cancel Through Roku or Fire TV
Official MagellanTV help links Roku and Fire TV members to those platforms.
Roku
- Sign in at my.roku.com/subscriptions.
- Find MagellanTV.
- Turn off auto-renew or unsubscribe.
- Confirm and save the end date.
On a Roku device, you can also highlight the MagellanTV app on the Home screen, press the star button, and open subscription settings.
Fire TV / Amazon
- Sign in to the Amazon account that bought MagellanTV.
- Open your Amazon memberships and subscriptions page, or follow Amazon’s Fire TV subscription help.
- Find MagellanTV.
- Choose Cancel, Unsubscribe, or Manage, then confirm.
Removing the app from a Roku or Fire TV does not cancel billing. Vizio can also sell an in-app plan. If your receipt shows Vizio, cancel in that TV or Vizio account settings. MagellanTV’s FAQ does not publish a separate Vizio walkthrough, so use the store that billed you.
How to Stop a Free Trial Before Renewal
Trial length is the length shown when you signed up. App Store listing language commonly describes a 7-day monthly trial and a 14-day trial on longer plans. Website offers can differ.
MagellanTV’s terms say the company does not send a notice that your trial is ending. To avoid a paid charge, cancel before midnight Eastern Time on the last trial day.
Cancel in the same place the trial started. Website trials use the profile Cancel button. Store trials cancel in Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon. Terms say a cancel during a free trial or promo may take effect immediately.
Do not wait until the last hour if you can help it. Apple and Google typically need auto-renew off at least 24 hours before the period ends.
What Happens After Cancellation
Cancellation stops the next renewal. It does not usually cut off access that same day. Official FAQ and terms say you keep the current paid period, then billing stops.
You will not get unused days back as a default refund. Terms also say service or referral credits are forfeited when you cancel.
After the end date, paid streaming stops. Downloads on a phone or tablet typically stop working when the paid period ends. Finish them before that date.
A lifetime plan is a one-time website purchase, not a monthly renewal. You generally do not “cancel auto-renewal” on a true lifetime plan. If a deal site billed that purchase, contact that seller about access or refund questions.
How to Request a Refund
Canceling and getting money back are different steps. MagellanTV’s FAQ states it does not offer refunds on subscription amounts already paid. Terms say you keep access through the current period and do not receive a refund.
If MagellanTV billed the website charge and you still need help, email connect@magellantv.com or info@magellantv.com. Include your account email, charge date, amount, and a screenshot of the canceled status.
If Apple billed you, request a review at reportaproblem.apple.com. If Google Play billed you, start from that Play order. Roku-managed purchases are typically prepaid and non-refundable under Roku’s own policy. Amazon reviews Fire TV and Amazon charges.
Do not assume a partial-month refund. Save every confirmation until the charge is settled.
How to Get Help From MagellanTV
Most website cancels are self-serve in the profile menu. If the button is missing, or a charge posted after you canceled, contact MagellanTV in writing.
Use connect@magellantv.com for billing questions. Terms list info@magellantv.com for general questions. Official FAQ cancel steps do not publish a general consumer cancel hotline.
The accessibility page lists (1) 914-273-4214 if you cannot use the website and need another way to complete a transaction. Treat random numbers on review sites as unverified.
Common Cancellation Problems and Solutions
You canceled on the website, but Apple or Google still charged you. The store owns that plan. Cancel it in Settings or Google Play.
You do not see a Cancel button. You may be on a phone browser or an in-app account. Switch to a computer, or open the store that appears on your receipt.
A trial converted overnight. MagellanTV does not promise a trial-end email. Cancel before midnight Eastern Time on the last trial day, and earlier for store plans.
You bought a lifetime deal and still see a monthly charge. You may have both a deal-site purchase and a separate auto-renewing plan. Cancel the recurring plan in the account that billed the monthly or annual fee.
Login and billing emails do not match. Search your inbox for MagellanTV, Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon receipts. Write MagellanTV from the email on the receipt.
Tips to Prevent Future Charges
Cancel before the renewal date, not after the charge posts. Set a calendar reminder for trial day 5 on a 7-day trial.
Keep the confirmation and a screenshot of the end date. Check the same screen again after a week.
Watch promo pricing. A discounted first month or first year can renew at $5.99 or $59.88 unless you cancel.
Do not rely on deleting the app, signing out, or blocking a card. Those steps do not cancel the subscription agreement. Change the payment method only after auto-renewal is off.
FAQs About How to Cancel a MagellanTV Subscription
Q: Does deleting the MagellanTV app cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app only removes it from that device. Billing continues until you cancel on the website or in Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon settings.
Q: Can I keep watching after I cancel MagellanTV?
Yes, if the current period is already paid. Official help says cancellation applies to the next cycle and you keep access until that paid period ends. A trial cancel may end access right away.
Q: Will MagellanTV refund unused days?
Usually no. The FAQ says MagellanTV does not refund amounts already paid. Store refunds, if any, are decided by Apple, Google, Roku, or Amazon.
Q: How do I cancel if I subscribed on Roku or Fire TV?
Cancel in that device account. Use my.roku.com/subscriptions for Roku, or Amazon memberships and subscriptions for Fire TV. MagellanTV cannot turn those plans off from its website.
Conclusion
The surest way to cancel a MagellanTV subscription is to use the account that took the payment. Website members tap the profile icon and choose Cancel. Apple, Google, Roku, and Fire TV members turn off auto-renewal in those stores.
Then confirm the plan shows an end date, save the proof, and check one more billing cycle so the recurring charge does not return.
