Subscribed on Apple TV, downloaded the App, cannot restore purchase. Says I had a subscription and I should sign up again. Works fine when I access it through the Apple TV app.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14
A Paramount+ subscription started outside of the Apple TV app, will require its own app.
A Paramount+ Channel subscription started inside of the Apple TV app, will require it to be viewed in the Apple TV app.
These two types of subscriptions are generally not exchangeable (although content providers can make provisions for a one-way crossover).
Doesn’t work, when I try to register this way on paramount plus it says my email already exists and fails...
Oh dear! Just use another email address!!!
Seems to me it’s Paramount’s fault.
All the other streaming services are cross platform.
Good for you
Let people who follow Paramount’s steps like I did benefit from it.
^ this dude is right. It is what it is for now. Hopefully this will get changed in an update
This worked perfectly for me! Issue resolved! Thanks!
From the answers here, I understand the AppleTV app and the paramount+ signatures are not interchangeable. My question is: is the content the same in both signatures?

This makes no sense at all. If I have a username and password, I should be allowed to login on the TV app.
Good to know you got it to work
The Channel subscription inside the Apple TV App and the Paramount+ standalone App subscription are 2 different things.
That is indeed confusing. If you subscribed directly to the standalone Paramount+ App, it will not validate in the Paramount+ channel within the Apple TV App. Unfortunately at this time , there does not appear to be a way to get the standalone Paramount+ subscription too work with the Apple TV App Paramount+ channel.
The reverse however is possible. If you started a subscription for the Paramount+ channel within the Apple TV App, then Paramount has a way to link that subscription to a regular Paramount+ account that can be used in their Standalone App in most devices and their website.
If you've signed up for Paramount+ via Apple TV channels, just go to paramountplus.com/apple. You will have to verify your Apple ID on paramountplus.com only once.
After you have verified your account and created a Paramount+ username and password, you can sign in using the log-in credentials you just created (not your Apple ID) on paramountplus.com or the Paramount+ app.
