"Paramount + on the Roku Channel" is not working.

Jump to solution

I've had this subscription since September 2023, and have had it set to auto-renew. My auto-renew was scheduled for the 9th; today (January 8th) is the last day.

I went in this evening, and was trying to continue watching Star Trek Discovery, and it tells me that I need to subscribe to Paramount + to watch.

I have reset the Roku device, and still, it will not let me into this show. I can access other programs, but not this one. There is no option to delete the app ("Paramount + on the Roku Channel"), so I cannot delete it and reinstall.

As a result, I cancelled my auto-renew today so that I'm not charged tomorrow for something that won't work. I'd still like to finish this program, though. What gives?

Hi @Kayeffsea69,

Thanks for letting us know. We are glad to assist.

When accessing these channels, are you experiencing a kickback to your home screen? How about an error message? Could you try the following steps to resolve the issue?

  • Remove the channel. Restart the device. Add channel
  • Restart router
  • Connect your device to a mobile hotspot just to check for differences in the streaming experience.

We hope this helps.

Regards,
Janadee

Unfortunately, I wasn't willing to wait for a response while being billed for a service that was no longer working, so I unsubscribed. I cannot offer any other information.

I am still having this issue. It has not been resolved. The only show that I cannot watch is Star Trek Discovery.

Hi @Jakpro,

Thank you for posting here in the Roku community!
We'd love to investigate this issue further. May we know if you're getting any error messages or codes? Is this the only content on the Paramount+ channel that is not working?

We'll wait for your response.

Thanks,

No error message. It tells me that I need a subscription which I already pay for. This is the only title on Paramount + that I cannot watch. I was able to watch the first three seasons and part of season 4 of Star Trek Discovery prior to this issue occurring.
