Man watching tv

Paramount Plus was previously CBS All Access with some added new programs. One highlight is Paramount theatrical releases are available on Paramount Plus 45 days after they debut at the theater.

Paramount Plus on Xfinity is not free. Paramount Plus requires either a monthly or yearly subscription. The Paramount Plus app is compatible with an Xfinity cable provider.

Unfortunately, the days of free streaming services are a thing of the past. Paramount Plus does offer a free trial period but some of the streaming content may not be available during the trial period. You will have access to enough content that you will want a full subscription.

Currently, Paramount offers two plans to choose from Essential and Premium. Each plan is available on a monthly basis or you can save 16% by subscribing to an annual plan.

Essential

The basic Essential plan does not include your local CBS station, but you can view NFL and UEFA through separate live feeds. Because you are streaming live programs, this plan does include limited commercial interruptions.

Premium

The basic Premium plan is the fan-favorite because it includes your local CBS station and does not have commercials. It is important to note, though, that local stations will have commercials because they are being streamed live.

There will be occasional promotional interruptions, but they are a few seconds long and are only to keep you informed of new and upcoming programs on Paramount Plus.

Another option on the Premium Plan is to include the Showtime package. Prices will vary depending on the plan you chose and if there are any promotional deals available in your area. Contact your Xfinity provider to see if they are offering any incentives for upgrading your Xfinity package.

Despite having similar names, Paramount and Paramount Plus are not the same thing and they can not be used interchangeably. Subscribers to Paramount Plus can only watch Paramount Plus through the app or the Paramount website.

Comcast Paramount Plus Not Working

Man watching tv

You’re all set to catch up on the latest episodes of Star Trek but the Paramount Plus app is not working. Why is Comcast Paramount Plus not working?

If Comcast Paramount Plus is not working, restart your device. Restarting your mobile device or TV will refresh the app, install pending updates, and clear out minor software glitches that are causing the app to not work correctly.

Oftentimes, when an app is not working, there could be an issue with the service provider or the app itself. This is most often the case when restarting a device does not resolve the issue.

The free website downdetecter.com is a great way to know if anyone else is experiencing the same problem you are. You can also report the issues you are having.

You can also visit the Paramount website to see if they are reporting any server issues or if there are any planned outages expected.

Xfinity Paramount Plus Error 1106/3205

Receiving an error message is never a good thing. Especially when you are finally ready to relax with a good movie. What do the error messages 1106/3205 mean?

The Xfinity Paramount Plus error 1106/3205 is an error with the video playback and browser. Sign out of your Paramount account and then open it again. This will refresh the app and will remove minor software glitches.

Error messages are how the app or device communicates to us that there is a problem that needs our attention. Oftentimes the issue is simple and easy to fix, other times it is an issue beyond our control.

Network Connection

The Paramount Plus app will not work correctly if there is not a strong and stable network connection.

You can visit the free website fast.com or speedtest.net to test your internet speed. Paramount Plus needs a high-speed connection of at least 4 MBPS to stream properly.

Force Stop The App

Closing out the Paramount Plus app is similar to restarting other electronic devices. The forced stop refreshes the software, but it also will install any updates that are pending, ensuring you are using the latest version of the app.

The error code 3205 will also appear if you are using an ad blocker or extension. Disabling an ad blocker will resolve this error message. The following steps will walk you through how to do this.

Step 1: Open your TV’s web browser.

Step 2: Select the AdBlock icon in the upper right-hand corner.

Step 3: In the drop-down menu, select “Don’t Run on Pages On This Domain”.

Step 4: In the pop-up box that appears, select ‘Exclude’.

Step 5: After the page refreshes, try running the Paramount Plus app again.

Timing

Another cause for receiving error messages could be the time of day you are trying to stream. If you are streaming during peak streaming hours or on the day of a big release, the Paramount server could have trouble keeping up with the high demand.

Try viewing your program or movie at a different time to see if this resolves the issue.

Clear Memory Cache

All apps store data. This is one reason why you are able to pick up where you left off on that movie last night. The data is stored so the app can quickly access it.

This data bank, or memory cache, can become full, causing streaming-related issues and error messages. Here is how you can easily clear it to improve the app’s performance.

Step 1: Go to ‘Settings’.

Step 2: Click on ‘Privacy’.

Step 3: Click on ‘Clear Cookies and Local Storage Data’.

Step 4: Click on ‘OK’.

Ask For Help

If you continue to get error messages after following these steps, it’s time to call in the professionals. The Paramount Plus app or Xfinity itself could be experiencing the issue and only those representatives will be able to solve the problem.

Be sure to write down the error code you are receiving so you can let the professionals know. The more information you can give them the better – including all of the steps you have tried.
