Yes ... Sky have spent 90 minutes trying to get me connected. No result. They are telling me that the problem is Paramount. Yet ... no one else seems to be having a problem. I don't understand it.

I gave up on P+ months ago. The only place it works is on mobile devices and a Chromebook. On my TV app and via Sky Q, it's an absolute piece of rubbish - you really gamble if you manage to get in, but that's about 2/10 goes. If you pause something, it crashes or just errors out and you have to force-close.

I have iPlayer, Prime, Netflix, and Disney+, YouTube, Chromecast and none of them is anything as untrustworthy as this under-developed rubbish. I paid Amazon for Top Gun - Maverick, even though it's free on P+ but there's no way I'm taking the gamble of crashing through a movie. And we're not alone

Definitely not a Sky Q issue but thank the lord I pay nothing for it!

@Ecosse must admit never had any problems with paramount+ at all had it working from the day before it officially was released and has always worked

The really odd part is if I cast it from the website or a mobile app to the TV or Q box, not one issue but why would I bother with that? It's free so no loss, if it were costing, I'd drop it like a stone.

If I ever install an app on a mobile device and it routinely crashes or errors, I uninstall it.
