Paramount+ with Showtime?
Hello I subscribed to Paramount+ with Showtime bundle but when I click on the Yellow Jackets show it is tying to get me to subscribe for a year. Any ideas?
Forum Discussion
I, too, am a subscriber of Paramount+ with Showtime that is billed through my Roku and have the locks on all of the Showtime movies and shows. It asks me to upgrade to the yearly plan when the monthly plan is enough. I am able to watch Showtime stuff on the Paramount app on my phone and Xbox. I only seem to have this issue with My Roku. I've restarted the Roku several times, made sure everything is on the most current t update, etc. Nothing is working. How do you fix being able to watch Showtime when you've already purchased it?
Hi MorgyDoviken,
A warm welcome here at the Roku Community!
We understand you're having trouble accessing Showtime content on the Paramount+ channel from your Roku device.
One possible solution is to try logging out of both the Paramount+ and Showtime apps on your Roku and then logging back in to see if that resolves the issue.
You could also try to uninstall the Paramount+ channel and then reinstall it completely. We suggest starting there. In some cases, removing the affected channel and reinstalling it may help. Restart your device before re-adding the channel to ensure the process is successful. We recommend doing this through the Settings menu by navigating to Settings > System > Power (If there is no Power submenu, proceed to the next step.) > System restart.
Please keep us posted on what you find out!
All the best,

I'm having the same issue. Paid for Paramount+ SHOWTIME last night and all the SHOWTIME shows are locked. I cannot uninstall Paramount from my Roku TV for some reason (very odd) and I've restarted my TV umpteen billion times. Still can't watch SHOWTIME. VERY FRUSTRATED! Waste of money!
But why won’t the Roku allow us to delete the Paramount+ icon/app? There isn’t a “delete channel” choice to reinstall it. We are having the same issue…we aren’t able to play any Showtime movies or shows and yet we’ve paid the money. Why can’t you help us?
Because you are subscribed through Roku, you cannot remove the channel. The only way to do that is to CANCEL your Roku subscription.
And again, NEVER sign up through a 3rd party. Always sign up DIRECTLY at the service's WEB SITE.
Hi RobinG,
Welcome to the Roku Community!
We understand you are having an issue with the Showtime channel where shows are locked.
In order to resolve this, it's best to reach out directly to get the channel going on your Roku, as they can resolve the error you are having with the channel. Please note that Roku doesn't manage channel logins or authentication, and many channels on Roku are developed and maintained by the channel provider.Please keep us posted if you need further assistance or clarification.
All the best,

I'm not having problems with the Showtime channel. I'm having issues with the Paramount+ channel where you can watch Showtime through that app. So, why would I contact Paramount about an app that already works besides the Showtime portion? Plus they direct us to Roku for the issue. So now what?
Yeah, when you subscribe via Roku, the “delete channel” selection gets replaced by “manage subscription”. I think this is because too many people used to delete channels for good without cancelling their subscriptions, so Roku decided to force people to cancel first. It’s too bad the * menu doesn’t have a reinstall option, that sets up an automatic delete, reboot, reinstall process.
I agree that signing up directly seems to work a lot better. Ie: I can access Paramount+ and Showtime, and I can delete the channel on Roku as desired, and if I ever need to call for help, the content provider will know who I am because I have an account directly with them.
