Paramount created massive confusion by renaming the Showtime linear channel like that. I have no idea if having the regular (former) Showtime channel gives you streaming access or not.
@user_gb9oz8 Welcome to our community forum! I want to make sure you're able to view all your favorite content :). When you open the app called Paramount+ with Showtime, you should have access as long as you're subscribed to Showtime. Please give this a try and let me know if it works.
Now 5/6/24 and Paramount+ still says Comcast is still not linked. Paramountplus.com/link page still doesn't include Comcast. I still can't use the Paramount+ app via my Comcast cable TV including Showtime. What's the hold up?
Since Xfinity charges $12 for this program, and it doesn't include the actual Paramount+ app, it seems the best option is to just purchase the Paramount+ with Showtime directly for the same $12. My problem is that I am charged for this as a bundle and I can't get out of this charge...
My account also says that I have access to Paramount+ with Showtime as part of my bundle. It looks like if you subscribe to this channel separately they charge you $12 per month, ultimately for what was Showtime channels. However, you can subscribe through Paramount+ for the same $12 and get the full app including the Showtime channels. So it would make sense to go direct and cut Xfinity out completely. BUT, since mine is part of a "package" there is no way to recoup the $12 per month that is bundled so I can go to Paramount directly...
@ruthemm123 Paramount + is a separate subscription fee and not the same as Paramount so you should have a different username and password for use of the app. Did you try to use those credentials?

That's the whole point of this thread-Xfinity won't partner with Paramount+ (like Directv and 4 others have done ), so that we can convert (for free) our Showtime subscriptions
to Paramount+ and have full programming access . And it's been 4 months now with NO explanation from an Xfinity rep as to what the holdup is.
