I logged into my account and it provides the options for this deal for both Essential ($30) and with Showtime ($60). Now I'm paying $1 less a month and no ads.
Paramount has screwed up billing online. You can't do much to your account until your subscription is ended. With Walmart+ you get it free but there is no way to apply it without the subscription ending for a few hours. I also have had to reapply CC changes and cancel the auto renewal several times.
Jimbo thanks for the tip on calling, will remember that in the future.
So I assume as long as you don't have an active subscription, you would be counted as a former subscriber.
I gave in, got a discount on Peacock to shift that money to Paramount+ for the EFL coverage last weekend, thankfully I initially selected monthly.
After seeing this deal, I logged into my active Paramount+ account and saw the ability to take advantage of the 50% annual deal. I signed up and the ads are now gone, and I'm still paying less than at the monthly rate with ads. I do not know whether this is because I just signed up in the last week.
I should have clarified, they don't mind if you want to give them more money, they will let you do that. Try to downgrade service or stop paying them all together, that's where you run into issues.
From my experience in this streaming world, I haven't had an issue cancelling any service. Newspapers on the other hand... oi!
Customer Service: I'm sorry, but without a notarized, witnessed, and signed authorization to cancel from one of your state's US Senators, we can't cancel your account.
P+ went dark (as in not at bight) that I noticed today. Went to watch the pre-season NFL game and it looked like it was in a cave. Other apps were fine. Had to go to OTA. Bruce, did you watch tonight? "Weird".
So, it does look a little dim to me, even compared to other live channels on Paramount+. I wouldn't say it is all that bad, but just not quite right.
Also, I still have not been able to get Paramount+ to switch back to my local CBS station since I switched to Google Fiber. No other apps have any problems, but Paramount+ on my Apple TVs are convinced I am in Wichita, KS. This is apparently a known issue, but no one seems interested in fixing it.
I just turned Big Brother on Paramount+ via my Apple TV 4K 4th gen. It looks fine to me.
Fine here, but I'm watching Directv streamed (Roku) satellite is good also, I like watching via these as I can pause.
Compared to the OTA signal from my HD Homerun and Channels DVR, it looks dimmer. It is still watchable, but just looks like someone turned down the dynamic range. 🤷♂️

Paramount+ is adding more CBS Shows in 4K
Along with Tracker, Elsbeth, Ghosts and NCIS:Hawaii (cancelled), we now have one new entry, hopefully when the new season starts up, there will be more-

I have watched a lot of Paramount+ since I signed up about a month ago. I am not seeing any difference in brightness compared to other services. Both HDR and non-HDR content look as expected. I am viewing it on a Sony Bravia TV. Maybe the brightness problem is only with certain TVs?
I am looking forward to season 3 of Fire Country. Besides shows like this, about 1/3 of the movies I watch are in 4K -- many with HDR too. I am surprised that even some older shows from the 90's are in 4K.
But for me, with my current vision, I really can't tell the difference between HD and 4K.
What device are you using to see the 4K and 5.1? I don't see that on my fire stick or any android device
