No, Paramount content is not free on NOW TV. However, it is included as part of a NOW TV Sky Cinema membership. This means while you won't get Paramount as a standalone freebie, signing up for the Sky Cinema Pass will grant you access to Paramount titles and the Paramount Plus streaming service.
Understanding Access to Paramount on NOW TV
Paramount Plus, the dedicated streaming service from Paramount, doesn't come as a complimentary add-on with a basic Sky subscription. However, if you subscribe to Sky Cinema, Paramount Plus is included at no additional cost within that membership. NOW TV, a streaming service that offers passes to Sky content, provides a similar benefit. When you purchase a NOW TV Sky Cinema Membership, you gain access to a wide array of movies, including those from Paramount, and critically, access to the Paramount Plus service itself.
This integration means that while the Sky Cinema Membership itself requires a subscription fee, Paramount content and the Paramount Plus service are bundled within that package, rather than being an extra charge on top of the cinema pass.
How to Watch Paramount Content via NOW TV Sky Cinema
To enjoy Paramount titles and Paramount Plus through your NOW TV subscription, follow these general steps:
- Acquire a NOW TV Sky Cinema Membership: You will need to subscribe to the Sky Cinema Pass on NOW TV. This is a paid subscription that gives you access to the extensive Sky Cinema library.
- Access Paramount Content: Once your Sky Cinema Membership is active, you will be able to watch Paramount titles directly through the NOW TV platform, often highlighted within the Sky Cinema section.
- Activate Paramount Plus: Your Sky Cinema Membership typically grants you a separate entitlement to activate a Paramount Plus account. You may need to follow specific instructions provided by NOW TV or Sky to link your Sky Cinema subscription and activate your Paramount Plus account to access its full library of original series, movies, and exclusive content.
Essentially, your NOW TV Sky Cinema Membership acts as the gateway to unlocking the Paramount Plus streaming service and its content library.
Benefits of the NOW TV Sky Cinema Membership for Paramount Fans
Subscribing to the NOW TV Sky Cinema Membership offers several advantages for those interested in Paramount content:
- Integrated Access: A single subscription provides access to a vast library of Sky Cinema movies and the comprehensive collection on Paramount Plus.
- Diverse Content: Beyond Paramount's offerings, you'll gain access to hundreds of movies available on Sky Cinema, with new premieres arriving regularly.
- Flexibility: NOW TV operates on a monthly rolling contract, offering flexibility without the long-term commitment often associated with traditional satellite TV packages.
