Acorn TV offers Americans access to TV shows and movies from countries like the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico and Spain. For $6 per month, it can be a great deal.

But if you've subscribed to Acorn TV and found that it doesn't live up to expectations, you can cancel at any time. This includes during the weeklong free trial, which is a good way to make sure you don't pay for a subscription you don't want.

However, the method you use to cancel your subscription will depend on how you signed up for it — through Acorn TV itself, or through Amazon Prime.

How to cancel Acorn TV

You can cancel your Acorn subscription in just a few clicks from any web browser.

1. In any web browser, go to Acorn TV and log into your account if you're not already signed in.

1. Open Amazon in a web browser and sign into your account if needed. 

2. Hover your mouse over "Accounts & Lists" at the top-right of the page and then choose "Memberships & Subscriptions" from the drop-down menu.

You can keep watching for the rest of the billing period, or ask for a refund. William Antonelli/Business Insider

Once you pick an option, your Acorn TV account will be cancelled.
