Hi TichenorPatty,

Thank you for reporting this issue to the Roku Community!
 
We understand that you are unable to install the Paramount Plus channel. We're happy to help. We would recommend the basic troubleshooting sequence below:
 
  1. Remove the channel: navigate to your Home screen, move to the right, highlight the app, press Star*, then select Remove channel
  2. Perform a system reboot: navigate to your Home, select Settings > System > Power (skip if unavailable) > System restart
  3. Re-install the channel: navigate to your Home, scroll and select Store, look for the app, then press Add channel
Additionally, this support article on how to install a channel on your Roku offers several ways to add a channel; you can refer to this one.
 
We hope this works for you.

All the best,
Janadee

    This was not a solution, unfortunately.  There is no channel to delete.  I've already done steps 1 and 2, and I'm getting this error when I attempt number 3 "Re-install the channel".
