You can watch E! using the app for the streaming service you have a subscription to. Those apps download to your supported streaming device, and E! is available through the guide in the app. However, some readers were curious about watching an E!-specific app.

The E! is owned by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast. Several NBCUniversal owned TV networks are now available through the NBC app, including E!. Below are the steps to install the NBC app and watch E! on Roku. However, the steps for other streaming devices like Fire TV, Chromecast with Google TV, and Apple TV are similar.

5. Using a web browser, go to nbc.com/activate and enter the activation code.
6. Still, on your browser, choose the streaming service you subscribe to for E!. I use Hulu, but Hulu, Sling TV, and YouTube TV are acceptable. Sign in using your login credentials to that service.
7. Your TV screen will refresh, and you will see NBC and other NBC networks available through the app.
