Paramount plus basic to standard

[CoffeeDrinker]

Upgraded Paramount+ last night via the top-up in anticipation of Stange New Worlds season 3. Watched the SNW pilot episode to try it all out; looked absolutely glorious in 4K with HDR with no adverts as well.

Worked for me on my sky stream, took me 5 minutes via the sky shop app , I did need to restart my sky stream via the setting menu as the paramount app got stuck, but worked after a reboot.

See Instructions on this link .

I got sick of the ads too so went onto my sky in the box, went to paramount plus and was able to go ad free for either £3 a mth (hd) or £6 a mth for 4k and Dolby so I did that. I'd rather not pay anything and it would be nice if sky sorted it out but I can give it a go and always cancel. £3 isn't a great deal to get rid of the ads, (saving £4.99 it says). 

Hope this helps.

There's nothing for sky to sort, this is what sky and paramount have agreed and nothing will change until they agree something else

Hi, how does the billing work, is it not just the extra fee added to normal bill, or a second one also does it alter the billing date.

Thanks in advance.

@ph2  It's added to your normal bill and taken on the same day as normal

It still feels misleading offering Paramount+ as part of the Sky Cinema package. It does say including ads you can't skip.

Bit like when you get free Disney plus now its the addressee based version thats about £5 a month.

Just done the Premium upgrade for new season of Star Trek, easy when you follow the instructions 

[williamsands]

Two days ago I upgraded on Sky Glass from Paramount+ Basic with ads to Premium by paying the £6.99 monthly subscription which was taken instantly from my credit card but in the My Sky section of Sky Glass it still says the upgraded plan is "Starting Soon" but my Paramount+ is still basic with ads.
Why has it not upgraded me?

[Wayne+on+Sky]

Have a look at the answer from John1210 below your comment for how to do it.  I have just done it and it was quick and painless. The upgrade from Basic (Ads) to Standard (No Ads) is currently £3 pcm as at 20/08/25.

If you do it through the sky tv it's only an extra £3 to upgrade to no ads instead of £7.99 

[Wayne+on+Sky]

Thanks. Done and is perfect.

Googled the details and you can have Paramount+ ad free by opening an account with a diffrent email address. I'm just sick of all the adds so I guess for the sake of £7.99 I will be opening up a new acct. When I asked Sky they advised to contact Paramount+ direct - then wanted to say I don't have any mobile/broadband features on my Sky account - I said no, I work for BT and get all of these services hugely discounted through my colleague products - not many discounts through Sky although a VIP customer for 23 yrs. The call soon ended.

Hi Kellie81 - how did you do this? Direct with Sky or Paramount+ at a cost of £3.00.
