Paramount

I have the Extra TV package that says I get Paramount and ParamountHD, but when I go to those stations, it say I need to subscribe (upgrade).  Impossible to get 'Chat' to understand and impossible to find a number to call for assistance.  Thanks

Hi, @user_322226. If it is saying you are subscribed that is a display error as Paramount is in the higher packages(preferred). If you would like to go over the higher plans, let me know.

It is saying I need to upgrade.  However, one of your websites had paramount being included in the 125+ plan.  Was it in the past and if so when was it removed.  Thanks

@user_322226. It changed during summer and was in lower tiers previously. Would you like to go over adding it?

I also have Paramount Network in my channel lineup but when I went to watch it, it said I needed to subscribe. Why do I have to subscribe if it's in my channel lineup?

This was a bait and switch from Xfinity. Cheating as usual. They told me I had access to Paramount on demand with my service. What they didn't tell me is that it was only for two weeks and is a way for them to sell more services. Usual corporate hacks

I have the same problem.  And, according to XfinityEthan, official employee,  we need a higher package because there was some change over the summer.  Well, I just signed up for the Extra and my channel listing is still showing that I should be able to access Paramount.  Xfinity should correct their online offers and channel listings for people who have already purchased a package because of what they offer on their website or give us what we thought we were purchasing.  This was just a ploy to get us signed on and then make us purchase or add onto our agreement.  Simply not right!!

I'm having the same problem.  If I'm understanding this correctly, I signed a contract that included the Paramount channel and now Xfinity has changed the contract without my knowledge?

@user_ecbc0b Well according to previous post Paramount, in the summer was in the lower tier package, but changed and now if we want it you have to upgrade or add it on

Just got off the phone with Xfinity.  1-800-xfinity.  I "calmly" explained to the rep that Xfinity broke my contract with them, without my knowledge or approval, by removing Paramount from the lineup I signed up for.  She finally gave me Paramount at no extra charge.  Don't know if I just got the right person at the right time, but it's worth a try.

I'm having the same problem with Paramount.  When I called Xfinity, I was told I would need to upgrade my package.  It was in my initial contract and now they want you to pay more in order to view.  This is a total breech of contract. 

So frustrated with Xfinity and spent over hour and half trying to discuss my issue.  Xfinity wants me to pay an additional $10.00 per month, $120.00 per year to be able to watch Paramount, which I had previously watched and was included in my package.

Hey there, @user_aef6cc. Most of the channels we provide to our customers are owned by media companies other than Comcast. We obtain the rights to carry channels according to contracts with those companies, which expire from time to time. When we renegotiate contracts, the channel may be moved to a different tier in result of this. I am sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

They requested I pick a response as an 'accepted solution".  Paramount was included in my package when I signed up.  They dropped it from the package in the summer and now want me to pay $120 more a year to get it back.  Those with existing packages should have been grandfathered in and still receive it.  That would have been an 'accepted solution'.

The change must have just happened because the season premier recorded and I watched it about a week ago. I went to watch the next few episodes today and noticed they did not record and I no longer have access to the channel. Some warning might have been nice....

Hello and thank you for taking the time to reach out to us here on our Xfinity Forums, I'm truly sorry to hear that you are having difficulty accessing the Paramount+ app. You mentioned it shows an error code but there isn't a code. Can you clarify what you are seeing when you try to access the app? If possible upload a picture for us so we can be on the same page.

I am very upset with xfinity.  I could not watch a program that was on Paramount network.  I kept getting a message that I had to subscribe to the channel...more money!!!!  My lineup listed paramount as one of my channels.  When I called and emailed customer service I asked them to send me my channel lineup which is included in the 125 plus package.  Paramount showed up,,,,channel 43 and 827 for hd.  I believe this is false advertising and breach of my contract with xfinity.  This should not have been changed or dropped from my package, especially with no notice of the change.  It's a darn shame that they get away with doing this to customers.  Especially long term customers who have been paying way to much for their cable for years.  Yet they offer "new" customers a reasonable charge for the same service we've been paying for for years.  Shame on you Xfinity.  Seriously considering dropping cable all together.

Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us regarding your ability to view Yellowstone. We are consistently reviewing our programming options and changing the programming to better meet our customers needs. Sometimes this requires that we move channels to a different programming line up. It is why we always have the disclosure that prices and programming are subject to change. Networks themselves also choose what programming is available on demand and what price may be charged for said programming. I would be happy to review your package options and see if we can find a package that will meet your needs. If you would like me to review the package options just reach out through private message.

We have the X1 package, is Paramount included or not? When I try to watch it on the TV, it says we have to subscribe. When I check out account on the Xfinity Website, it says we have the X1 package and that Paramount is included, and its listed in our Channel Lineup. So what is the issue here? Chat bot won't help/can't help, can't get through to a live agent.
