re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Absolutely. I go to my watchlist and see icons of all my shows listed there. However I cannot tell if a new show has been added or not. For instance a new Equalizer was added this week. I had to go to my watchlist, scroll down to the Equalizer icon, open it up, go to episodes to see that a unwatched one was added.

With other services like Hulu or YouTubeTV, the icon for the show will either be marked with a NEW EPISODE indicator, moved to the top of the list, or actually have a caption stating how many new, unwatched shows are left. I am not seeing any type of new show indicator on Paramount.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Ha, how long have you had the service? We're lucky we even have watchlists, I think they only just added that like a year or so ago.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Ok so they way it works for me on Roku is the show is on my watch list queue. Once I finish with episode, it will show the next one if available. If there are no new episodes available, it drops off the list until a new episode is posted. Maybe this is a quirk of the Fire stick?

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Well, I had a one-month free deal with Paramount+ for the basic service and they charged me immediately for the year of service so I think you are likely better off waiting for a deal when the free intro is over. I get the impression they offer these deals somewhat frequently and I can't imagine Paramount getting a big enough base in the next few months to stop offering this sort of deal...

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

What is the My Watch List queue? I have an area called "My List" which contains all the shows I have added to my list. I also have an area called "My List" when I am at the home screen that is basically a horizontal line of icons containing the same items as in the "My List" section. I am not seeing anything that can be quantified as a Queue.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

They mean the "Keep Watching" list. For TV series, it will show the episode you are currently watching, or the next episode (if you finished the previous episode). When you reach the end of all the available episodes, the series should disappear from the "Keep Watching" list. When a new episode is released, it should reappear in the "Keep Watching" list for that new episode.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Oh ok. I will check to see if my "Keep Watching" list works that way. If so, this will be a good way to determine if a new episode has been released. If this does work, I will have to remember to fast forward to the end of a show once I hit the credits. Typically, I have been exiting the show when credits appear. This habit may be causing it to stay on the "Keep Watching" list.

Thanks for giving me an option to try!

UPDATE: This process worked and only episodes that have not been watched are located in the "Keep Watching" list.

I got sent an email from Sportsline to get another free year, so hopefully that roles into another free year of Paramount+.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Subscribed again for my dad. He wanted to watch Halo and Picard S2.

And once again, another one month free trial! This is my third time subscribing and I have NOT paid a single time :lol:

All the free trial codes work for a single account, I can’t believe it.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Yeah, I've been trialing/canceling for 8 months straight, and haven't paid anything. My wife won't let me stop because she's watching all the Drag Race episodes.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

So i cancelled my monthly plan two days ago. Instead of cancelling my account, they upgraded me to the annual plan and billed me $49.95. when I contact their online help. they tell me there is nothing they can do.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

So you planned to be out after Picard wraps? Strange New Worlds starts Thursday.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I'm sure there's something your cc company can do, though.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I planned on signing back up for the monthly plan when I got back from vacation or signing up for the annual plan with the discount code. I never would pay full price for the annual plan. I don't know why they would change it without my permission. They tried to give me a 10% off the next month if I stayed, which I declined.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I used a reloadable debit/credit card when I signed up. There's not even enough balance on there to pay for it. It just shows up as a pending debit on my account right now.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Last few weeks when i click a show to watch there's no audio. complete silence as the ads run going into the show, then the show is silent. I end up having to come out of the app and starting over sometimes more than once. So annoying...

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

FYI: If you got in on the Sportsline 18mos deal last year and cancelled recently be on the lookout for a “6mos free offer” in your email. All I needed to do was send Sportsline an email asking for 6 more mos and they added it to my account. Good for me because I had no plans of renewing Paramount+ anyways.

For the Roku ultra users, there is finally an update to the channel bringing back Dolby Vision and Atmos.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Star Trek: First Contact is now in 4K on P+.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

There is no thread in TV Talk, so I will post here. Watched Joe Pickett. A spectrum show but Paramount picked it up. Sort of a modern western based on the Pickett books. It was good. Dragged a bit. Probably could have easily been 6-8 episodes, but enjoyable overall.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I signed up for the Amazon Prime $0.99/mo. deal. I’d like to see The Lost City and the various Star Trek franchises, but I haven’t seen a whole lot else to keep me beyond the cheap two months. Also, this is through Amazon channels, and Prime Video is my least favorite service interface. But we’ll see.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

1883. Highly recommended. I don’t know if you like Westerns or not, but it’s a great show. And if you don’t watch Yellowstone you can still follow it just fine.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

Yellowstone was peak for me. I encourage people to see that one. 1883 if you end up loving Yellowstone. I love that show, but I stopped a few episodes in on 1883. It's a bit too much of the same thing.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I don't agree. Yellowstone and 1883 are nothing at all alike. Yellowstone is a soap opera on a ranch. 1883 while a prequel is a really well done Western survival story. And the story is self contained. I'm just recommending that David give it a shot since he has Paramount plus short term at least. Yellowstone isnt even on this service.

re: Paramount+ with Showtime - ViacomCBS streaming service
 

I think they're very much alike in terms of story and the families. Sure one is straight survival, but so is Yellowstone on a different level. Survival of their legacy and ranch. I think 1883 is better than most shows in general, but again, if you love one, then you'll like the other really. 1883 is survival in literally every episode, so it wore on me after a while. Still odd Peacock has Yellowstone, but yeah I know about the rights issues. For the casual viewer, both pretty much hit the mark.
