#Steps to Getting Paramount Plus on Dish

Getting set up takes just a few minutes. Follow this 3 step process:

#1. Check Channel Plan for Local CBS

Paramount Plus gets you live CBS in certain areas. Check if your Dish package offers your local live CBS station. The Dish Channel Lineup lists available local channels.

If unavailable, you can still access on-demand CBS shows on Paramount Plus without the live feed. Essential and Premium plans both provide this.

📝 Pro Tip: Premium is ad-free and includes your local live CBS station where available, along with tens of thousands of VOD titles.

#2. Subscribe to Paramount Plus

Head to ParamountPlus.com to register for an account. Choose your preferred subscription:

• Essential – $4.99/month (ads + no live local CBS)

• Premium – $9.99/month (no ads with live CBS where available)

Use promo code DISH to save over 15% on Paramount Plus Premium. This lets new and returning members get their first 2 months for just $1 each.

Activate the offer at checkout before starting your binge!

#3. Link Dish Account to Unlock Streaming

Under Settings in the Paramount Plus web or mobile app:

1. Select Manage TV Provider
