Paramount plus basic to standard

@Rich1503  You need to take out a new subscription through Paramount.  Sky give you Paramount for free but after Paramount made some changes to their tiers it is unfortunately now with adverts.

Personally, a few months ago, I cancelled Sky Cinema as it was too expensive  (I used Netflix more often) and consequently lost access to the free add-on of Paramount +.  If I wanted to there is no reason why I could not subscribe direct with Paramount but I haven't bothered.

I like sky cinema and I like paramount. I shouldn't have to take out a separate paramount plan. They allow netflix through sky to be upgraded and pay the extra so why not paramount. It is very inconvenient to be expected to take a new subscription rather than upgrade it

@Rich1503 Yes it would certainly be useful.  As you say it is the case with Netflix but it still has to be a joint agreement between Sky and Paramount which for whatever reason doesn't seen to be forthcoming.  Maybe it will happen in the future 🤷‍

I wouldn't mind so much if I could unlink my paramount account from sky and upgrade it directly. Again this can be done with Netflix as I unlinked my Netflix account as I get premium Netflix with EE so just unlinked it from Sky and linked it to EE. 

With Paramount I can't even do that.

Yes hopefully they will do something about it in the future but in doubt it.  They had fair warning that paramount was introducing tiers.
