Error Code: Apps 04036. Paramount Plus Access
It appears that Comcast has had an issue with all its Streaming Services to varying degrees, Paramount Plus being the most predominate. Why have you not fixed this and why do you continue to tell your agents to deny the issue! Time to own up to the problem and fix the issue!

Hello, @user_b05d02! Thanks for reaching out to us on the forums! I apologize to hear of the issues you are running into when trying to use the Paramount Plus! This usually has to do with a memory issue in the device you are trying to use. Does this issue happen on all your cable boxes or just one? If it's just one, can you please unplug the power from the cable box for about 30 seconds to a minute and then plug it back in and try to launch the app again to see if it loads? If it happens on more than one device, have you been having issues with your internet services (particularly slow connections)?

Thank you for this information, @user_b05d02! When you attempt to access paramount plus right now, are you having the same issue at this time?

I have gotten the same error code numerous times during the day - today it has happened six times. Nothing helps - unplugging, restart, refresh. No problem with my internet service. It is becoming ridiculous!

This has been a problem with Paramount+ since day one. I have four boxes and get the same error on all four boxes. Restarting / resetting the boxes doesn't help and I have no problems with internet, etc. This is the ONLY app I have issues with. Netflix, Hulu, Prime, Peacock, etc all run with no issues. This is a problem with the Paramount+ app.

After having the same exact problem as above, I was instructed to do a system refresh and that fixed the problem---for about 3 days.
I just discovered that I have the same error code 04036 as before.. I shouldn't have to do a 15 minute refresh every couple of days.
Like others have mentioned, all my other streaming service apps work fine.

error code: apps 04036 Paramount+ (159 entries to this problem, and still no results). Comcast/Xfinity is glad to accept your money for the limited service they provide. They can provide tech support for the major things, but the underlying problems get shoved under the rug. Why is it that Prime Video, Youtube, and others work perfectly? But the solution given is to restart your system, and still, it doesn't work!! Should we charge Comcast/Xfinity for the frustration of an app we pay money to get, and should be able to work?

I have 5 boxes---3 don't work for Paramount +. Same description as previously said above-the screen loads about 3/4 of the way and then stops and gives the
error message and then kicks you out to a live channel. The 2 boxes it does work for me are the small XiD-P. Unfortunately for me they are hooked to TVs where we don't do our main viewing.
If you google Paramount + error apps 04036, you will see over 100 posts about this going back a year. How is this problem not already being worked on in your
engineering dept? Like many others have mentioned, all my other Xfinity streaming apps work fine.

I’m having the same problem. It’s getting so frustrating. I can watch paramount plus on my phone but takes forever to get into the app of Comcast. Please help I am paying for paramount plus. Plus I’m paying too much for Comcast. Should not be having these issues

I am having the exact same problem. "Error Code: Apps 04036" when I try to watch Paramount Plus. I did a full system reset and that still did not fix it. All other streaming services work fine.

Have done system restart several times, restarted the X1 box, pulled all connections and also to the router, no help. Got on once today, lost connection. So many shows we are wanting to watch on Paramount+ during the holidays. Xfinity has sent our case up to “advanced team” - doubt they will be able to correct the issue either. So frustrating!!

Same code every day, all day. It only happens on one box, the other works fine. I've done all restarts, refresh, unplug.... Nothing works. Nothing. Paramount blames Xfinity and Xfinity blames Paramount. Ugh.

We have the same problem since day one, it works fine on our other box but not on our main box. Techs always say to reboot and they have pushed updates and that does not work.. ever so they need to move past that and troubleshoot. Comcast needs to resolve or reimburse customers. Xfinity please escalate to your engineers and put out a fix.
