Why no Paramount + with EETV Sky Cinema

You get Paramount free with Sky Cinema, so why am I unable to login with my EETV details?

EE TV provides NOW Cinema on their packages, which is for NOW TV content and the included channels from Sky.

Paramount+ is not included in this package, and can only be purchased directly.

See the announcement for the launch of the app on EE TV here, which directs customers to sign up directly with Paramount: https://newsroom.ee.co.uk/ee-tv-expands-its-entertainment-offering-with-paramount-launch/#

The EE TV Packages are not the same as what is offered by Sky on their packages.

I get that, but Paramount state that membership is free for Sky Cinema subscribers, and according to my Now account, I have a Sky Cinema subscription via EETV.

You have an included NOW Cinema subscription, not Sky Cinema.

A Sky Cinema package is only offered by Sky through their own service and hardware.

Maybe you should ask NOW TV why. Nothing to do with EE TV, they simply carry the Sky channels via a subscription to NOW TV which is a separate trading entity to Sky TV.

Hi @imacken

according to NOW

Do I get Paramount+ with my membership?

The Paramount+ app won't be available on NOW. However, as part of Sky Cinema’s continued relationship with Paramount, NOW Cinema members will be able to stream most of Paramount’s latest blockbusters, as well as continuing to enjoy Paramount’s library of on demand movies at no extra cost

Thanks for that. However, I’m not sure what that means.
I tried searching on Now for 6 Paramount movies and nothing came up.

It means that Sky Cinema will show some Paramount films from time to time and not through the app. At the moment most of the Star trek films are available as are some from the Mission Impossible franchise. Some films are show first on the P+ App e.g. Gladiator II and Top Gun:Maverick. Also, I’ve seen some Paramount films turning up on Netflix and Prime Video. It depends on what you are looking for. Unfortunately in this day and age the studios can only make some money by selling rights to a number of generic streaming apps like Prime and Netflix.

Thanks everyone. I guess this another one of the things that make EETV cheaper than Sky.

Yeh I was mis-sold this lie too when i reluctantly gave up my 16yrs platinum loyalty with sky to go with EE tv under the umbrella of I “get everything I have with sky with EE” (the kiddy even went thru my sky bill to give me a like for like package) I’m even more peed off to find I’m now stuck with this EE tv until 2028 and stuck with this rubbish tv service. It’s nothing like the sky glass I gave up. I don’t get to rewind programmes to the beginning, Disney plus app isn’t even on the box. I don’t get to skip ads, we lost the disney Jnr channel too.

@Angeleyes151083 sadly there's been many customers mis sold.

For rewinding tv shows to the start you can do this on BBC shows on the pro and edge boxes but not many others. Maybe this will come at some stage.

If you had one of these boxes you can request a free exchange of the pro box to an EE apple TV box and you can rewind most channels.

With regards to Disney junior all the shows are available through Disney plus through a separate subscription.

Disney didn't do a deal with Now TV for Disney junior when they added it to the Sky kids packages.

You could message Disney and ask them if they can do a deal with EE to show the interest as Disney need to be willing to do a deal with EE separately .

Apparently there are changes coming to EE TV subscriptions later this year. But no one knows to what extent until it happens.

EE/BT have piggy backed off Now TV for many years but did their own deals before that. So who knows if they would go back to that at some point in the future.
