When I go to add paramount+ via apps (I am a sky cinema customer so should get it free) it gives me this error message when I "Confirm"
We'll be back soon
Something went wrong, but we're working on this. Please try again later.

I've been trying for a few days now, how do I fix this or how long do I need to wait??
(I get the same error if I try to add Discovery+ also)

I've got exactly the same problem, how did you fix it?
‎06 Aug 2023 10:04 PM
Still not resolved, despite numerous calls to Sky, last one was over an hour.....no confidence in their ability to determine the problem even though they've opened a case with the "back office" who basically don't respond or do anything.
I have had several promises of a callback but they never call, always leaving it up to me to call their premium rate support to find out whats happening.
The same error pops up for Discovery+ so its not a Paramount+ issue, we've even signed in on the Sky Q box with a separate eMail for a Paramount+ trial & it worked no issues.
Hope you have more success but I wouldn't hold your breath !!

I've just solved this with Discovery+ , should be the same with Paramount. Go to Paramount online first and make a free account, then go direct to the app on sky and sign in there to link together. It should show you a QR code and number. Scan the QR with your phone and enter the number, Success- hope it works for you.

Been trying for 5 days now even the engineer that was out on Wednesday setting up the skyQ box was getting the error message . I have called sky twice was on for over an hour both times and still no further forward . NOT HELPFUL . I was told I could only do this once a day to try and activate it and would need to wait 24 hours to try again . They have had me switch off the box then back on , reset the APPS , back off back on . Wish someone who knows what they are doing would get back to me .

Tom can you please assist 🥺

this does indeed let you sign onto Paramount on Sky Q , I expect it to discontinue working when i cancel the 7 day trial though...I'll let you know in a few days !!
Pretty poor support from Sky, they really have no idea what the issue is, maybe it's time for engineering to get properly involved & not leave it up to the service support staff to keep following "scripted" routines that clearly are not solving the issue.

I have the same issue, how did you fix it? Thanks

i signed up for the 7 day free trial, used the same email & pwd for sky,then signed in on Sky Q, when the trial expires in a few days I'll let you know if it still works, I suspect it wont 😞

So, the free trial with Paramount + ended , I signed out of the app in Sky Q and tried to activate the subscription again......no joy (as expected).
Called Sky again and promised a callback within 5 working days..never happened.
Called them again and after a bit of persuasion they agreed to send out an engineer.
Nice guy arrived , explained the issue and we both agreed this did look lik not a hardware issue but as this was the recommended fix from tech support he replaced the Sky Q main box.
Discovery + which had never worked was now working (minor victory).
Paramount+ still not working , same issue.
He recommended I contact Paramount+ directly to sort out the login issues.
Raised my 4th case with Paramount+ via eMail because there's no phone number to contact the, & their smart chat is next to useless.
Pretty soon I'll be cancelling Sky Cinema , asking for a full refund and then I'll just sign up directly to Paramount+

I'm in the same situation. Sky acknowledged that there was an issue there end but didn't know when it would be fixed. It's shocking that Sky are offering a service that they can't deliver on. I've been a Sky diamond customer for 20 years and am contemplating leaving them over it.
