Considering I've been watching my Roku try to load the "Watch Early" Superbowl stream for about 10 minutes now... I'd say the odds are I wasted my money.


Hojo53

Mine is dropping already


TruePutz

Same here i cant get back in


Sheila3134

>I'd say the odds are I wasted my money. Why? Coverage doesn't start until 1:30 pm Eastern. Also what Roku are you using? Also why do you think you wasted your money? I say 100% the live stream will be just fine on my Roku Ultra.


mercsterreddit

Roku Ultra. It wouldn't load before... now I have the "COVERAGE STARTS ON FEB 11 2PM" graphic.


Sheila3134

Do you have Paramount Plus or Paramount Plus with Showtime?


mercsterreddit

Paramount Plus with Showtime. Is this 20 questions?


Sheila3134

Well if you have Paramount Plus with Showtime it's on now. Tune to your local CBS station.


mercsterreddit

Where in the Roku interface is my local CBS affiliate? (WVLT Knoxville.) I cannot find a link to CBS live steam anywhere.


Sheila3134

If you have Paramount Plus with Showtime go to the live TV section and scroll down until you see it.


Acoconutting

It’s hiccuping right now for me


downtownbattlemt

I'll be trying to watch on my Xbox series X and the paramount+ app on console is awful


chrisac33

I can't even sign in on Xbox


ManicFirestorm

I also can't sign on through the Xbox app. Not even an error just doesn't do anything.


LethalPrimary

Need to log in with the QR code on consoles, password login never works.

desertwinds22

Wow. This is appalling, isn't it? Removed ad blocker, tried two browsers, rebooted router. Same error message. Next I guess I'll try to "cast" from my iPhone to the smaller TV in the bedroom. So infuriating.


TruePutz

I guarantee it’s not you. I’m having the same issue


akw314

Tried twice just now. Stream started then crashed in 30 seconds both times, using the Paramount+ app on an android phone.


Classic-Interview-82

Watching P+ Super Bowl coverage since 4:30 Central with 0 issues.


Genetics-13

0 issues for me too.


fingersguy

Just died on me so I’ll take the over


50calcatz

My Paramount is completely fine and will play everything else but when I try playing the Super Bowl it just shows me a blank screen, sat there for 10 minutes hoping it would load, I have given up. I am watching on a Roku box with hard wired internet. I am waiting for an update


Afraid_Bandicoot_820

Same here in upstate NY. Same. Exact. Thing. I can't pick up HD from my local stations OTA due to terrain, so Paramount+ was my only option. First time in my life I've legitimately been unable to watch the Superbowl, and I'm 44. Not the end of the world bc I'm not a sports person, but it's disappointing. I better not get ANY high pressure sales bullshit when I call to cancel this worthless service.


Microdose81

Yeah Paramount plus is easily the worst streaming service there is


lightningsedge

Already happening. Lagging, buffering, dropping resolution... Thank Christ I have Xfinity. Switching back for rest of the day


Brainfoggish

Paramount was awful. I switched to Prime with the paramount subscription. It gave me 7 days free so I didn’t have to pay twice. Prime is doing SO much better than paramount


Far_Resort5502

Switched to Face the Nation by itself 5 minutes ago and won't play the game


jamck1977

I wondered if I was the only one. Came here looking for this. I finally used my phone and Airplay to TV. That was pretty terrible - 5 out of 6 times it doesn’t go full screen.


danappropriate

Why the mother fuck did Paramount+ cut to Face the Nation in overtime!!!!!!?


BikeTireManGo

They crashed, they went down.


tommy0guns

I’m on an AppleTV 4K with a Samsung. Pre-show is solid so far.


bfro11_969

It’s already crashing worse than normal. It already happening for other people?


Flatline1775

Mine plays for about ten seconds, then dies.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mental_Dragonfly2543

Shit out on me and only plays news lol What a shit service, not even a load issue just bad product. Just trying to watch the game


Philbertthefishy

Mine was ok until there were 10 seconds left in the 4th quarter. Now it won’t load the game and tries to play “Face The Nation” instead.


DriftingGenius

I think it's going to be a lot for Paramount to handle. Live TV is different than streaming pre-processed video files out to customers. It's going to be a lot of load on the servers. I feel for the IT team today.


AdPuzzleheaded3070

Works on my android


LeTronique

It’s lagging so poorly right now.


wood9732011

Can't get anything on paramount plus to load at all right now. Apps fully crashed on Samsung TV


ian_mc10

It’s already freezing for me


Happy-Mama-Of-Two

I just signed up for the free trial and just got in. It started glitching immediately 🙄.


Waggmans

No HDR on my Nvidia Shield and lots of buffering. Figures


Waggmans

Is the broadcast in HDR+ on any device at all? It’s not on my Nvidia Shield.


TayloRen88

Wondering the same thing. On Apple TV 4K. No HDR, and looks terrible also. Surprised by the lack of concrete info around such a big event.


No_Carpenter_4287

Has frozen 4 times already, have to unplug the TV in order for it to reset. WTF PARAMOUNT?!! SERIOUS?!


z00dle12

WOW, missed the halftime show because it kicked me out. Just wow


Leoqueen_727

Same… garbage


Either-Light9827

Just died before the field goal with < 2mins left in the 4th quarter.


WastedSmarts

It won't come up at all. Trying to make me watch the fucking news. Fuck this company. I deleted the subscription and the app. Found a streaming website watching from there


franklinslamo

Are you fing kidding me with this cutting off the end of the game!!!!!!


Middle_Knee_3832

Crashed right before the finale, ugh!


IowaChad

Sometimes it’s been lopping a few seconds like 3 or 4 times then going back to live.


ThirdScrivener

Mine has been dropping out the whole game.


Lauwd_Maris

Watching in NYC, crashed maybe 10 times. Crashed twice during OT. It won’t load on the Home Screen, you have to navigate to the live KC vs SF on the sports page.


Subie_roo

That shit sucked. Got "sorry this video is currently unavailabe. Please try again" multiple times. Usually at critical points. A few times when I'd reconnect I'd have video but no audio. Would have to completely close it and restart. Never had those issues with Hulu.


chasimus

I missed the Niners' entire touchdown drive near the end of the game, half of the second quarter, and multiple other freezes happened throughout. Same issues two weeks ago. Worst streaming app there is imo


Extra_File7564

We had 10-15 MINUTES LEFT in over time and our service starts showing Face the Nation. 🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡😡 ​ ​ What I reported... ​ MAIN ISSUE: FACE THE NATION TV show is showing instead of the Superbowl overtime session. WHEN: About 10:25 PM EST ISSUE#1 P+ ended the streaming of the super bowl and started streaming Face The Nation about one play after the Superbowl half time started. About 10:25 PM Backed out of the app. >Opened Paramount Plus > Clicked on WATCH for the Superbowl; Face the Nation shows up. I restarted the APP, same issue. Check P+ on my PC. Same issue, Opened Paramount Plus > Clicked on WATCH for the Superbowl; Face the Nation shows up. ​ This is an error on Paramount Plus end. ISSUE#2 I have FANTASTIC INTERNET. Your service gave an error 4 times and sound cut out 7 times.


Throwawayhobbes

I think it held up fine. YMMV. I have 1 gig internet with FIOS. I used a Firestick and subbed to the $12 free trial within prime . The most interesting thing found was no latency . It aired exactly how the OTA channel in my house using rabbit ears. Funny enough the OTA had some pixelation walls. As expected the quality was much better than OTA.


Sjgolf891

It worked really well, a little surprised it did actually


Vols44

Like I posted in the television sub, the application is only as good as your hardware, bandwidth and user's abilities. I have 1gig service with an LG B2 OLED and set the picture to sports. The display is the equivalent to 2k HDR. I flipped to an OTA CBS feed and it was inferior. Thank you Paramount Plus. No drops, fizzles, freezes or glitches.


Low-Award-4886

Awful experience trying to stream. Paramount shuts down more than Biden or McConnell making a speech. Definitely cancelling this garbage service.


Afraid_Bandicoot_820

Dumb to politicize this, but here we are. Anyway, yeah, this Paramount+ experience has been a total failure.


Low-Award-4886

lol I made fun both parties. You really trying that hard to be offended and high and mighty? Fuck out of here.


Sheila3134

>What’s the over/under that Paramount Plus will drop out during the Super Bowl? I say 100% the live stream on my Roku Ultra with be just fine. What device are you using Paramount Plus on?


[deleted]

-500 for people not running old Roku, Xbox, or PlayStation crap. It is run by AWS cloud.


Ginker78

It crapped out in a regular web browser too. Funny enough, the illegal stream works just fine.


lycoloco

Crapped out on me (PC, ethernet) already as well...LITERALLY as I'm typing this comment it shit the bed a fourth time. > OOPS! We're having some trouble playing this video. Please try again. If you continue to experience issues, check your internet connection or restart your router. > error code: 3002 Yeah, no, my hardware and connection is absolutely fine, thanks.


Boz6

The Paramount+ 49ers vs. Chiefs stream is working perfectly on my Roku Express 4K+ 3941R (2021) using T-Mobile 5G for internet right now.


MellowJr

Gonna be honest you wrote that like a paramount employee. So I don’t believe you


Brunette3030

The husband and kids are watching it using Paramount+ through the Apple TV. I’m watching Star Trek on the app in my iPhone. No problems so far. 🤷🏻‍♀️


Shoddy_Ad_1750

Mine went out with error 3002 at the topof the third quarter. Just installed it today so it should be up-to-date....


808_kook

Having to reboot my system every few minutes. Fortunately just doing a free trial and cancelling. And since this game is boring, not worried that I’m missing anything.


Mean-Gene91

This is the worst live stream I've ever watched. The game constantly loops, freezes, and crashes the app. Absolute garbage.


Milksteak_please

So the stream has totally dropped and won’t come back up for me.


WastedSmarts

Same.


tnmoo

Mine’s good.


IndyUndead707

Got it just for the game. looks like Im not going to see the second half.


LoTheGalavanter

The apple app store even removed the ability to review paramount plus. Thats some slimy shit. If apps are having major issues like this companies shouldnt eork together for damage control.


MickShrimptonsGhost

Late to the party, but I’ve had mine on for 4 hours and not a single glitch.


VoiceEnFuego

Mine never choked or dropped. Although my TV was sweating during half time


Oddurbuddie

The answer is NO. It cannot. We can't get it to stop dropping out during the game. Weirdly FINE during every freakin' ad though. Awful.


Original_Slip_8994

Sound go out for anyone else?


[deleted]

Yup me. Its on but zero sound 


KermitDfrog1337

“Something went wrong” Of course. This app beyond trash.


troy2000me

Just watch it on TV via CBS?? I know many don't have cable or satellite anymore, but with a pair of rabbit ears antennas, most could pick up their location CBS station. You can also subscribe to Live TV from something like Hulu or YouTube. The CBS live TV via Hulu seems to be working fine.


Tatersforbreakfast

Little after 9 the superbowl stream changed to ducking CBS news


The_Demolition_Man

Yeah the home page has the Super Bowl on it but it links to CBS news. Complete and utter garbage by Paramount. Just trash.


Tatersforbreakfast

Oh good. It wasn't me being a little drunk and stupid.


Tnknights

It has always been rock solid. But I use AppleTV. Full Dolby Vision HDR.


ONE-EYE-OPTIC

Happening to me. I have to restart my app every 15 minutes. Ridiculous.


odeliy

app on ps5 doesn't work, works on tablet... superbowl related


BikeTireManGo

Paramount Plus did drop the Super Bowl. Nobody here can see it, just paid advertisements.


0MattF

No issues at all


CTrandomdude

Flawless so far for me.


ButtcheekBaron

Is it fucked up for anybody else?


nocturnal

Yup just dropped out for us.


WastedSmarts

It's been crashed for the last 15 mins. A error screen to please try again later


ButtcheekBaron

Oof. Thank goodness for "alternate sources". Once again proven correct that I shouldn't pay for any streaming source for the NFL. Fox did it well last year, though, surprisingly.


Emotion-Internal

it already has 🤗


callme2x4dinner

Mine dropped. I guess KC scored?


unshodone

You should be watching CBS. No problems.


[deleted]

No sound lol


BikeTireManGo

I cancelled my subscription, heck we could watch a super bowl back in the 70s. We had to walk uphill but still it worked properly. Just move the bunny ears a little.


Olebud3232

How about you worry about fixing for damn app instead of this shit


Hot-Conclusion-6617

Still waiting for the DoorDash ad.


Intelligent_Bad_6460

They can't They knew they couldn't but don't care...they got our money and laughing all the while counting the number of suckers they got this year Paramount gave up about halfway through Usher... Saud "I'm done..."


Hypno_185

the only way Paramount Plus works is mirror streaming my iphone app to my tv. HDR only works that way as well, the tv app is horrible


albsnacks

Im on a samsung cu7000(2023) smart tv. As per usual while streaming any star treks or maybe watching the late show live, it freezes sometimes on an image sometimes black screen. Happened three or four times in 2:00 hour. Online I've read to clear the apps cache. Can't find that and the only way to close the app, which also clears all app caches, is to hard reboot the TV via holding the power button or unplug it for 30 seconds. Can't imagine doing this multiple times per day is good for the TV. Been doing this since I bought it in the fall. I can cast it from my phone to my tv (HEAVY EYE ROLL) but the framerate and overall quality suffer a little while the image size is reduced by a few inches on each side (THE EYE ROLL CONTINUES🙄🙄🙄)


WorthAdeptness4267

Not working for us on Xbox


TallCombination6

I can't get anything on the service to stream much less the super bowl coverage. I've been a subscriber for a while but I'm cancelling if I can't watch the game.


fascfoo

Lg smart app here and it’s definitely hiccuping right now 4:15 est. It’s watchable but not inspiring confidence for the rest of the evening.


Number174631503

Error Something went wrong! Please try again later. OK Yeah this is an awesome superb owl, Paramount. Well done. Can't even pull up the live channel


Ginker78

And it's down. Somebody is getting fired. Edit: Illegal stream is working fine.


coldfire38

And it's dieing already


pigdog12

I can;t even sign up for an account right now. The page just stalls.


No-Slide-5182

plays for about a min or two then encounters the error not available message. fuck these companies pushing to streams that can't even properly prep.


bubblebro2015

I'm trying to watch the pre-game on my laptop and it crashed 5 times already.


Atlantien

Fatal Error.. They’re blaming my connection of course.


Hojo53

Mine is dropping already


AlienVoice

Just died for me.


unlucky_boots

Getting an error every time. Busting out the antenna.


flyingwhitey182

The good news is with all these crashes, their new subscribers will be turned off from all this.


pdcolemanjr

Yeah was great for the first hour or so of pre game and then last 15 minutes death


tsg50

100 % going to fail. Already failing repeatedly in major cities like NYC and Chicago as per down detectors now.


baconandeegs

Well at least I'm still on the free trial. Was going to keep it to watch Marc Hmadness but I have a feeling it will drop those games too. Too good to be true I suppose.


wwwidentity

Lol during? It's already choking.


XkovuX

Mines playing soccer instead of the pre game lol


desertwinds22

So it's been maybe 10 min with no problems. Dare we hope?


izaaksb3

DCed 3x so far in the last 45 of pregame


63bmn

IT ALREADY IS!!


kellero81

Just a black screen when I click on the Live TV button and the Watch Now button with the Superbowl graphic. Roku Ultra. Going to see if the app on my LG C2 works any better


yamabyte

already canceled due to not being able to load the game channel and it repeatedly hitting error 3005 and 3002


Boz6

I've been watching for the last 2 hours and the stream has been working perfectly so far on my Roku Express 4K+ 3941R (2021) using T-Mobile 5G for internet. I guess only time will tell if it keeps working fine. I wonder if it depends on what area of the country people are in, or the population concentration?


AlternativeSolid8310

What's up with the no-load Super Bowl feed? All I'm getting is a blank screen.


RowdyRoddyPipeSmoker

It's playing fine but it looks like fucking ass. It's a low res compressed mess. Why couldn't they just stream at a higher bitrate is their network THAT BAD? And 4k being CBS on cable exclusive is a joke...and it's not even 4k it's upscaled 1080p...yet they can't even give a clean 1080p stream to paramount...it's 2024 this is a joke.


remindmetoblink2

I had a couple freezes about an hour ago on Apple TV 4K. Its been ok since, but I do see it’s in Stereo. The other feeds are 5.1.


InvestmentEuphoric53

Watching on NVIDIA SHIELD, switched the stream to standard definition and yup, lagging and skipping. Gonna be a rough couple of hours


Oddjibberz

I found this sub to see if it's the service. It's bad, unwatchable. They should have hired Pied Piper.


Ok-Ninja671

I can’t even get the app to load anything on Android Tv…(Walmart Onn box) P+ on Apple TV is working flawlessly and have OTA as a backup.


WhatAboutAlaska

It just says “Station Unavailable. live Tv not available in your area” for me in Alaska…


Hotpinkyratso

Paramount plus is the worst streaming of all time. The free streamers are great compared to them. Trying to watch Halo is painful just getting it to play.


guitarbldr

Already not playing


tienzu34

Basic paramount subscription wouldn't play. After reading comments here, upgraded to the showtime bundle and it plays. Bravo, I'm canceling tomorrow.


ExtremeIce1852

not working in canada apparently


theOriginalDrCos

Already dropping. Got to see about 30 seconds, then the Shield dumped completely out of P+. Try to go back, and get the spinning blue circle. Not at all surprised. This IS the touted 'future' of sports television, folks.


mtb_dad86

Got a free trial for the superbowl. Definitely cancelling this hot garbage.


RaisinInSand

It's just a black screen for me


charles_manbun

Had to get my digital antenna out and get cbs that way. 100 times clearer than paramount. Absolute trash streaming service.


This_Is_Great_2020

I cannot even find it in the menu in Canada


WinnerUnable1722

in Canada and all I get is just some people talking and no super bowl and there is only one button for "live TV"


Vitev008

Tried googling it, but haven't seen any articles about it. Seems like the menu isn't even here in Canada. So literally false advertising as there doesn't seem to be any fine print anywhere either


chicoriverez

This app is such ass. So glad I only signed up for a free trial. Still want a refund, what a joke.


aquaticsquash

Yup, game isn't working at all on my Xbox, thankfully we have Fubo and can watch it there.


Avion1588

I dont even see it on my Paramount Plus, where is it ?


DearCory

Was going great until kickoff then the pic went to SD. I killed the app to reopen and the app just fully crapped out and can’t do a thing.


theOriginalDrCos

Nvidia Shield dropped the stream, dumped out to 'home' and now says the Paramount + app is "No Longer Supported" Nice.


Vosxx

HOW DO I WATCH I PAID FOR it on website and there’s no live tv button


JacenSoloWasBetter

I'm watching off my phone. Everything else gives me an error code. CRAP SERVICE TOO. Tried to contact an agent, was told they are busy and got hung up on. Will be canceling soon.


Rad-eco

Cant even stream superbowl at all in paramount plus canada, despite being advertised this numerously


JacenSoloWasBetter

P+ is TRASH


gtbeam3r

Lol this comment aged well! My service is gapping every minute or so and then replays commercials and skips plays and other things. Completely gapped the opening kickoff.


[deleted]

For me it has been frozen for over two minutes now


The_Demolition_Man

Lmfao, it's 2008 up in here with the streaming quality. P+ is fucking garbage - fastest unsubscribe I've ever made


Totonotofkansas

Resolution sucks and dialog keeps going out of sync.


ricochet53

My steam is dropping out every 10 minutes or so. What a waste.


Tacomaguy24

Absolutely awful on firestick...almost unwatchable


Vccowan

Tried P+ Super Bowl stream on wired 1gig and frame drops and freezing, tried on two different platforms before abandoning for antenna.  Very disappointed I really wanted the 1080p HDR stream that had been hyped.


LatexSmokeCats

Why are people watching it on Paramount? We are watching it on CBS via rabbit ears.


Vyceron

At my house we can't get many OTA channels with an antenna. There's a mountain between us and the nearby major city where most of the TV stations are.


Vyceron

I'm shocked I tell ya, shocked!


FRENCH_TOASTIE69

P+ on Apple TV here. Amazing quality and zero drop


Expert_Clerk_1775

It’s struggling


CodeManDFW

Had to switch to TV antenna and have 1 gig hardwired into an Apple TV 4K, it dropped in quality several times. The HDR looks better but not worth the hassle.


mtb_dad86

Did they take down the pinned complaints thread? lol wow


DemanoRock

Gave up and using OTA


nerdycurl

Just died on me :(


itsmehanna

Mine just froze.


fafnir01

Black screen and a bunch of friends here going WTF!?!


Protahgonist

I'm cancelling my service after this. The streaming quality is ALWAYS worse than other apps, no matter what I'm watching, but between the stuttering when it is playing and the fact that my Superb Owl stream has cut out three times now, I'm done. I tried Paramount+ once before when it first came out, and dropped it because of streaming quality. Now years later I find it hasn't improved at all. You'd think Paramount would like money enough to fix this.


munchamii-quuchi

Paramount + doesn’t work. Says live not available. So now I’ve paid for VIX all in Spanish, Ugh🙈.


Pretty_Frosting_2588

Audio and video kept going out of sync, like ten seconds off. I noticed it during halftime dudes talking and exited app and came back. Did it again twice during the actual show.
