Channels & viewing

To Whom It May Concern:

If I can access Vix Premium, and soon, Paramount Plus Basic, by logging in with my cable provider on their own apps, can I do the same with their content on Roku Channel as well?  (I know that presently, Paramount Plus Basic is not available with my cable provider, Spectrum, but it will be within the next several months.)

Thank you very much.

Hi @adwissler,

Greetings from the Roku Community!

Thanks for reaching out. Please be aware that a couple of channels on Roku can be accessed via a standalone channel or directly to a premium subscription on The Roku Channel. Premium subscription directly through The Roku Channel is a separate paid subscription, and you can't use any existing credentials. 

Just wanted to drop the differences of the channel itself.

Standalone channel- which you can access if you have an existing account.

Channel via The Roku Channel- which cannot be accessed using an existing account but needs a separate subscription through Roku pay.

I hope this helps.

Let us know if there's any support we can help.

Thanks,
Rey
