Paramount+ on Roku Channel

paramountI watch the delayed broadcast of the Daily Show on Paramount+. Somehow my Paramount+ subscription is connected to the Roku cgannel. 

Late last week Daily Show episodes appeared listed as future dates that haven't happened yet. One was listed as a date from months ago and other episodes are simply empty with no description or I am told "Currently Unavailable" when I attempt to watch. So far this week no new episodes wrong or right have been posted on the app on my Roku device. I would include a photo of my Daily Show screen with the wrong dates but the image attachment on this messaging system makes no sense and does not seem to work. 

Paramount+ is absolutely no help. They blamed my Roku device and the Roku channel. They told me that I need to cancel my subscription and then start a new subscription using the other Paramount+ app that is not connected to Roku channel. 

Obviously Pramount+ should not be piggybacking their content on someone else's app. Does anyone know how to fix this?

    To be honest, I'd take their advice and subscribe directly with them and use their app.  Anytime you involve a third party you're just asking for problems.

    Perhaps RokuCarly can look into the problem with Paramount+ on The Roku Channel.

      I'm not really sure how the two got connected in the first place. We tried to switch today. I have to wait until the renew date for my current subscription to allow the Paramount+/Roku account to expire and then I can subscribe on Paramount+. My current subscription prevents me from accessing the unconnected app. 

      I really wish the FCC would exercise more oversight on this industry. This is unacceptable.

    Welcome, and thank you for posting here in the Roku Community, Mjoytv61.

    Thanks for bringing this to our attention. Rest assured that I will review this inside The Roku Channel and provide you with further information regarding this matter.

    Before proceeding, can you please let me know the specific Season and Episode you are referring to? I tried to replicate it here, and it appears that Seasons 28 and 29 show the correct description, time, and date on the Episodes available. 

    If you are having trouble inserting an image for reference, kindly follow the steps provided below:

    1. Start a new post.
    2. Click Photo in the editorial's toolbar.
    3. Choose one of the image source options and follow the on-screen instructions.

    Here's the link for reference: How do I insert an image in a post?

    I'll be looking forward to your update.

    Best regards,
    Carly

      As I stated in my post this is currently happening on the most recent episodes when attempting to access on my Roku Express. I pull up the current season on the episode guide. I have an episode from Aug 13 and then there is an episode labeled Sept 10 and the next episode is labeled Nov 6th 2024. Two dates that won't be happening for weeks. There have been no current episodes posted after Aug 13. If I look on the Paramount+ website all current episodes are dated correctly and current. 

      I hit the insert photo icon and I get the menu asking me for a source. I click on the source field and there are no options. It's blank. I have no way to proceed. 

      It looks to me that Roku IT needs higher standards of integrity. Nothing seems to work.
