am I the only one who has never heard of the show "Yellowstone" before?

Enough with all these streaming services. You're just going to push people back into pirating.

I can't believe how detailed this is. This isn't a walk through, this is an examination
@HARLEMHEFNER 3 years ago

A streaming service with no add list smh

You missed one of the biggest features this app lacks which is the ability to save favorite list of shows.

all these subscriptions turning into a wireless channel station. 💀

HBO Max is by far my favourite streaming service. Yeah, it's expensive. But it has pretty much everything that I want! More specifically it has cartoon network, looney tunes and adult swim. I love cartoons and already have Disney+. So I'd probably get this just for the Nickelodeon!

Pass.

My guess is that a gallon of milk in LA costs about $3.99. Also great overview of the new service! Enjoyed it a lot! Cheers!

Sadly cord-cutting turns out to tie us into tighter knots 🪢

Thanks for your excellent video and confirming for me that I wasn’t just going out of my mind trying to locate more than just the 4 channels available on the live TV. However my iPhone app for Paramount+ has loads of channels under the Live TV banner that I would prefer to watch on the Tele.

I have Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney Plus, I'm just not sure if paying for this is really worth it.

Just a reminder, Ashley sang “Everlong” on stage with the Foo Fighters! A-MAZING!!!!!

Will the sports streams be in 4k ? Like 4k NFL and champions league ?

Paramount+ needs a watchlist... glaring omission. great video - thanks!

Great video, Ashley! I love the new hair by the way!

How do I get options on the left of the screen? Mine has nothing on the edge and I don't have a continue watching option!

I love your voice & the way you talked about this subject! Thanks

Thanks for letting us know about Yellowstone. This is the only reason I would be going back to CBS/Parmount. There were a lot of issues of CBS all access. Error codes were wanting me to throw my monitor out the window.
