#FAQ

#Is Paramount Plus the same as Paramount Network on Spectrum?

No, they are different. Paramount Network is a traditional cable channel included in certain Spectrum TV packages, while Paramount Plus is a standalone streaming service with its own subscription. Paramount Plus offers a much larger library of on-demand content, including originals and live sports that Paramount Network does not carry.

#Can I get Paramount Plus for free with my Spectrum subscription?

Spectrum does not include Paramount Plus for free with standard TV or Internet plans. However, Spectrum occasionally runs promotional bundles that package Paramount Plus at a discount or as a limited-time add-on. Contact Spectrum customer support or check their website to see if any active deals are available in your area.

#Do I need Spectrum Internet to watch Paramount Plus?

You do not need Spectrum Internet specifically. Paramount Plus works over any internet connection, so you can stream it on Wi-Fi from a different provider or even on cellular data. The only scenario where Spectrum Internet matters is the Spectrum TV Choice free trial, which requires an active Spectrum Internet subscription.

#What happens to my Paramount Plus account if I cancel Spectrum?

Your Paramount Plus subscription stays active because it is billed separately from Spectrum. Canceling Spectrum TV or Internet has no effect on your Paramount Plus account. You can keep streaming on any supported device as long as you maintain your Paramount Plus payment.

#Why can’t I find the Paramount Plus app on my Spectrum box?

Older Spectrum cable boxes do not support app installations. Only newer connected Spectrum TV boxes with internet access and an app store can download Paramount Plus. If your box lacks an app store, connect a streaming device like a Roku or Fire TV Stick to your TV’s HDMI port instead.

#Does Paramount Plus offer a free trial?

Yes, Paramount Plus typically offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers. You can sign up on the Paramount Plus website or through the app on your streaming device to start the trial. Cancel before the trial ends to avoid being charged.

#Can I watch live TV on Paramount Plus?

Paramount Plus includes select live content such as NFL games, UEFA Champions League soccer, and CBS News live streams on its plans. The Essential plan at $4.99/month provides access to most live programming. For the full live TV experience with your local CBS station, you need the Premium plan at $9.99/month.
