CBS Access is now Paramount plus but its not available.

Jump to solution

CBS Access is now Paramount+.  Its been advertised for over a month yet it still isn't available to watch through the ROKU streaming channels.  I had a similar issue with the Peacock streaming channel when it went live.  Please investigate and let me know what is going on.  Thanks

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the posts.

If you already subscribe to CBS All Access, the channel will be updated automatically to Paramount+. To get access to the new channel now, you can check for a system update from Paramount+ by navigating to Home > Settings > System > System Update > Check Now.

Your player will need to support Roku OS 9.4 to see the new channel.

 

Thanks,
Danny

My CBS All Access automatically changed to Paramount+ but I cannot watch.

If I click "Sign up", it says I already have an account.  If I click "Sign In", it says I need to create an account.  If I click "Lost Password", I never get an email.

Anyone else having this problem, or know how to fix it?

Exactly what I'm going through, pretty frustrating....going to cancel if it doesn't "fix" soon.

Same frustration. you need to update the app. go to system/updates.

My Roku system updates automatically every day, so updating the system itself did not help.  But what worked for me was to go to Add a Channel, then search on CBS All Access.  Paramount+ is not available in the search.  But if you search on CBS All Access and select that, the channel tile that shows up is Paramount+.  I added that channel then signed in with my existing account and it worked perfectly!

Thanks for this tip.  When I did this it opened Paramount +, but still gives an error message:

"uh-oh.  An error has occurred, but we're working on fixing it.  We'll be up and streaming again shortly."   

Were you able to actually get in to Paramount +?????

I was able to get to Paramount+.  I had to sign in again and that was successful.  This would have been maybe around 8:00 AM CST.

I did this and it worked. However it looks the same as cbs. I thought there would be new shoes and such like on the paramount channel

I am having a similar issue. It wants me to sign in, it says wrong password, hit the link to recover password but I don’t get the email link. I am paying for a service I can’t use. Some one from rogue please help.
