Another streamer for the list, Paramount+ is coming to Europe next year. It'll be available on its own, or through a partnership with Sky. If you have Sky Cinema, it'll be free, or as an add-on with other Sky packages. Not sure if the add-on will be cheaper than having it on its own. No prices or exact dates announced yet.

 

Probably won't be as popular as the current crop of Netflix, Amazon and Disney.

I dunno if I buy that excuse, it's just people being cheap again. During the pandemic I cancelled my Cineworld card and picked up subs to Peacock, HBO Max and Paramount+. The three of those cost me the same as Cineworld did but now I get to sit at home and watch the latest blockbusters as they appear on the various services. Although Peacock is more for the Premiership and other sports. 

 

Paramount+ is pretty good if you've got someone in the family who likes procedural dramas. The only film I've watched on it so far is A Quiet Place pt2 and the streaming quality was top notch.

June 22 for the UK, £6.99 per month, £69.90 per year, free if you have Sky Cinema.

Not paying for another service, anything good will be otherwise seen.

Would only consider it if and when they properly remaster DS9.

 

Wonder if this means Trek will be coming off Netflix?

Probably when the current deal finally expires.  It’s bloody stupid.  Legacy Trek on Netflix, Prodigy on Nickelodeon, Picard and Lower Decks on prime and Strange New Worlds on paramount plus.

So this launches tomorrow. A quick scroll through their Twitter account it seems they have Halo (which they’re also promoting is on Channel 5), Star Trek and Teen Wolf. Yay?

 

Anyone planning to sign up for this?

We are!

 

Spoiler

It’s free with Sky Cinema :ph34r:


I’m in for the new Beavis and Butthead film.

Is it under the Apps section? That’s where other ones are. 


Not that I can see. That was the first place I looked. Maybe the box needs to update, but I’d have expected it to be pushed out for launch. I can still access it, so not a big deal, but it’s odd that is not easy to find (it’s probably staring me in the face in some obvious fashion…).

I signed up yesterday and happy so far with the selection. Watched the start of Halo Episode 1 and I thought the acting was a bit ropey considering the budget they had. Started watching Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and really impressed so far with the episode :) Seems like they've gone back to classic trek and not the absolute dross of Discovery / Picard (apologies if you like that).

 

My biggest issue though is that I've got a LG OLED55B8SLC TV and I checked on the support page and it said that all LG TV's from 2018+ were supported. Well mine is 2018, but the app is not available through the app store. Does anyone else have an LG TV and is the app available? I can't believe they're being so picky to add it for specific models and not others. At the moment I'm having to view it through the browser (which seems to work fine) and add the bookmark as an icon on the home screen. Not great as the UI is a bit janky this way.

 

[EDIT] Just had a look at this and it seems like the app is not available yet on any LG TV's: LG Content Store - Paramount+

 

Maybe because it was only released today it takes a while for the app to go through. Guess this page is for the US only at the moment.
