Some other users are also seeing this error with other shows on Paramount and apparently Paramount is aware and working on a fix.  Wouldn't hurt to contact them as well and add yourself to the list of affected users.

When this happened previously, Paramount reportedly just whitelisted some IP addresses rather than address the underlying issue.

Unfortunately, you're wrong, because FBI plays just fine on the same network using a phone, Chromebook, and PC.

@Boz it's meaningless if something works on a different device. First, the app itself is not the same as the one on a Roku. Same thing if you're using a web browser, completely different method of playback. Second, the larger service providers, such as Netflix or Paramount, feed different devices from different servers so there could be a server issue for the provider.

I am having the same issue as well. Try to watch FBI on Paramount+ and get the your using a VPN or proxy. I have never used either at home. This started 2 days ago, or at least we noticed it 2 days ago, around the same time my Roku said it last updated. Nothing has changed in my network setup in over a year. Running T-mobile internet, and 2 wireless routers. My Roku is using a wired connection, but can change to wireless. I have the VPN problem with both connections. Will be contacting Paramount later today, then my ISP.

Hi Community users!

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. We'd be happy to provide further information about this. 

If the troubleshooting steps are not effective, we strongly advise you to escalate the matter to the channel's support team. They manage and maintain their app on the Roku streaming platform independently, and it would be best to raise this concern directly to their Support team for further assistance. 

You may reach them here: Paramount+ Support

We hope this will be sorted out soon.

Warm regards,
Carly
