I know I have the Paramount channel, but where is Paramount Plus or how do I get it?

Paramount+ is not a regular channel. It's a streaming service that requires its own subscription. You'll need a streaming device (Roku, FireTV, phone/tablet, etc) to get it.

Do not be confused between:

  • Paramount Network
  • Paramount Streaming App
  • Paramount+ Premium Streaming service

DIRECTV has Paramount Network, a regular old channel, on channel 241.  Yes, you can get that on a package. 

The Paramount Streaming App can be downloaded to cell phones, most streaming devices, and possibly some Smart TVs.  If not available for your TV, then you'll need to get a streaming device (e.g. Fire TV Stick, Roku, Chromecast, Apple TV, etc.) and connect it to an HDMI port on your TV and download the Paramount Streaming App to that so you can run that app.  There is a little free to watch content on the Paramount App.

Paramount+ is a premium streaming service that you have to pay an additional monthly fee for.  As far as I know, no TV provider (such as DIRECTV, Dish, Xfinity, etc.) includes Paramount+ in any of its package deals.  If you pay for it, then you can watch Paramount+ content in the App.
