Where can I find this app/channel on Virgin? It says everywhere that it's available but I cannot find it at all. Even when searching. I have the full package

The only way that is possible at the moment (as far as I am Aware) is to be using Amazon Prime and purchase it via them, of course you have to be subscribed to Amazon as well, I read somewhere that it will be stand alone app at some point, I think sky have it has a stand alone app. Often these thing are covered by exclusivity deals, e.g. you can't release to a rival operator for X amount of time.

Paramount Plus is a(nother) subscription streaming service - where have you seen it advertised as available on VM?

Some of the content might be available via VoD and/or an Amazon in-app channel, but I believe the service itself is currently under Sky-exclusivity.

When you refer to "full package", do you mean Ultimate Volt? Which is basically Maxit plus various extras.

Hi @littleladynikki 

If you find any reference to Paramount on VM's pages  then they haven't been updated.

They are referring to the old Paramount channel which was rebranded to 5 Action. It's available in HD on channel 150.

Paramount Plus won't be available on VM until later this year

VMO2 announced it on their news page on November 2nd 2022.

It also includes the Pluto app being added to the 360 and Stream boxes, and a special FAST section being added to the EPG for the Pluto channels.

You can however access it via the  Amazon Prime app if you have a Prime subscription, otherwise see this page

How can I find paramount?! I’ve searched channels, apps and cannot find anything. It’s always advertised on channels it’s so frustrating!

Hey Kirken25, thanks for the posts and replies and sorry to see you're unable to find the Paramount channels to watch.

Please, be advised that last month, Paramount Network (channel 150 HD / 187 SD) permanently rebranded to 5Action.

In regard to Paramount+ this has not yet been added to our channel list, please visit our channel guide for our most updated channel list for your reference.

If you have more questions or concerns, let us know and we're glad to advise more on this.
