I don't want to pay for 2 subscriptions, so disappointed by this answer. I guess I will continue to watch it on my computer. I wish I had known this before , I would never have gotten Roku/

@jhayes44 If you subscribe to Paramount+ directly from them, you can stream it on any device, including a Roku. You do NOT need to subscribe through Roku for any service available on a Roku. They simply offer it as a convenience and on occasion might offer a better price. But any subscription through Roku can only be viewed on a Roku device. 

It's no different than subscribing to a service through another service, such as Prime Video. Anything you subscribe to through Amazon can only be viewed through Prime Video.

I just purchased the yearly Paramount Plus subscription and now I can't watch the channel, the only options I have on the channel are to 

get started

sign out

Connect Provider

I am frustrated because I purchased a year subscription and I can't get into the channel

So I just paid for a yeaerly Paramount Plus subscription but it won't open the channel on my roku, it just says to 

get started

sign out

connect (options are youtube, hulu live, spectrum, etc) I don't have any of these! 

I am very frustrated becuase it seems like I just wasted $50!

@brucitybruce, there are two ways to access Paramount+.  If you search for "Paramount" in the "Streaming Store" you'll see two icons - one with "on RokuChannel" and one without.  Try both of them.

Hi, @brucitybruce 

Greetings, and welcome to the Roku Community.

I understand your concern regarding your Paramount+ subscription access, and I'm here to help.

There are two ways to subscribe to Paramount+ on the Roku platform: directly through the Paramount+ app or via The Roku Channel. 

If you subscribe directly to Paramount+, you can only access your subscription through the stand-alone app. I recommend using the stand-alone app for the best experience.

For more details, you can download the app here: Paramount Plus Channels.TV App

I hope this information helps, and let us know if you have further concerns or inquries.

Thanks,
The Roku Community Team.

Paramount + on the Roku channel, and Paramount + are two completely different apps, with two separate logins and accounts. You can simply download the Paramount + app onto your Roku device.
