How Do I Get Paramount Plus Shows?

My Spectrum guide shows "Paramount Plus with Showtime." I see all the Showtime programming, but very little of the current Paramount Plus shows. Is an activation step required?

@Baja463 : In answer to your question (despite how the discussion seems to have gone sideways right out of the gate [no offense to anybody, mind you]):
Not to mention the linear live & on-demand "Paramount Network" available via TV Select Signature, TV Select Plus or Mi Plan Latino.

Good Morning!
To get Paramount Plus through Spectrum, you must be subscribed to Spectrum cable or streaming TV, and also must be subscribed to any Spectrum Select Package (Spectrum Select, or Spectrum Signature, or Spectrum Select+). That will give you Paramount+ .
Paramount+ is activated through the Spectrum TV app or can be activated by going to this link here: (Scroll down to find Paramount+)
(How to stet up and activate Spectrum Streaming plans with qualifying Spectrum packages.)
You can also activate Paramount+ through the Spectrum app on the Xumo streaming box. You can also add Showtime for a small additional monthly fee.
Spectrum Customer Care can be called via the number on your Spectrum billing statement to discuss upgrading your package if you don't qualify in your current CATV/streaming plan.
Very important: If you are upgrading to any Spectrum Select Plan:
1.) Upgrading does not over-ride any pre-existing subscription plan you may have directly with another company or provider. You would have to cancel with that third party company and go through Spectrum using the above options to sign up with Spectrum.
2.) When you log in, to stream with an already qualifying plan, always choose "Log in With Provider" and choose "Spectrum."
3.) New accounts or equipment, or recently swapped equipment, may take between 48-72 hours before being able to process new remote orders online.

I tried the link posted by Satch but when I attempt to set up Peacock here
I get the error message below. And yes I did log off and log back on with no success. EDIT: I'm trying to use my Windows 11 Pro laptop with the latest version of Google Chrome Version 134.0.6998.166 (Official Build) (64-bit)Service Unavailable
We're sorry, something didn't work quite right. Please sign back in to try again.

This offer was expanded today to include customers that were previously ineligible, so the link may have been busy.
Here is a direct link to try: https://www.spectrum.net/page/streaming-apps-with-spectrum-tv

Thanks James_M, I just tried it and got the same error. I'll check later and provide an update.

Others and I(iPhone 12 mini's iOS v18.3.2's Safari and updated 64-bit W10 Pro. PC's Firefox v136.0.3 web browsers) have problems with Peacock service as well. On my end, I saw the blue circle animation that goes forever until I am kicked out for security reasons (timed out for waiting too long?). I didn't even get that error message. Please kindly let us know when it is finally fixed to retry. AMC+ was easy and quick without any issues for others and me (old Silver TV plan) though.
Also, can we rename this forum thread's title since this is about P+, AMC+, & Peacock? Or split this thread into a new one for the newly added streaming services (a mod should be able to do that)?

OK. It worked for me through my logged in https://www.spectrum.net/services/tv web page (thanks to a Redditor). Spectrum needs to look into
's Peacock onboard setup which didn't work for others and me. There seems to be a bug.1 -
Good Evening,
Peacock set up and activation worked for me as well. I agree with @AntDude that the thread needs to be re-named or merged in some way. Maybe something like this title, "Setting Up Spectrum Streaming Services. Requirements and Feedback."
This proposed title thread change will allow for information and feedback for any affiliated Spectrum Streaming Service and provide feedback and information on how to get the service in one thread.
Regards,

Satch, good evening/night (IIRC, you're on eastern time zone). How did you set up your Peacock? Logged in https://www.spectrum.net/services/tv web page method?
The forum should just have separate forum threads for each streaming service instead of having all of them in a single thread. Each one is different! It will be easier to keep track and manage to have each one have its own thread. Right now is already confusing enough in this thread that started out for P+.

What's up Ant?
Yea, just through the webpage on Firefox and Brave. I don't use Chrome or Edge, too many security risks. You establish that Spectrum is your provider, and than register (one time) with a fill out your user information with your email and password. AFAIK, your email and password must be the one that you use for your Spectrum account. Than submit the form. (Windows 11 laptop)
I changed my profile name from "Account Holder" to my name. Than each time I copied and pasted into Firefox and than Brave, I did have to sign in with my user name and password each time. Since this is not a shared computer I selected for the browser, "remember my password" and than I bookmarked Peacock and am all set.
I don't have a smart phone and have not done the set up on my Samsung Smart TV. Don't really want to , as I hate my Smart TV remote.
Yea, maybe having threads for each streaming service if we need help is a good idea!! Did not know about AMC+ being out, might sign up on that one later. But so far we have Max, Paramount+, Disney+ and Peacock, and AMC+ also ESPN+, if you take the Spectrum Select plus package, They really bring value to all Spectrum Select plans! I am on CST.
