hi @LOUBYLOU57 

 

When you say you can log into your account - where is this ? Is it SKY  as there isn't (too my knowledge) a separate account only login to Paramount + 

 

Paramount Plus uses a separate set of credentials to SKY  that you will have used when fisrt setting up

So when I first linked my sky to paramount plus which I did successfully, (I received a message to say they were linked ) then I had to sign into paramount plus I thought I used the same email and password is that not correct ?

Thank you @nigea99 so are you saying that when registering for paramount plus I need a new user name and password? I'm sorry to be stupid but I assumed I would register with the same details and it would just open the app on my TV and be free ?

Hi @LOUBYLOU57 

You need to follow the Paramount Activation procedure in the following link.

@nigea99  so are you saying that to sign into Paramount plus it should be a totally different log in than my sky account ?

hi @LOUBYLOU57 

 

During the activation process you say you went through (as per the link @oldfella gave) then you do set up a completely separate Login id   on the Paramount system .

 

This can use the same email address or a different  to the one  you use for SKY  but it is always recommended that you use  a different password to that you would have used for SKy but you might have used the same (against recommended practice)
