Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  • KalaiMatute Kal Matute (@KalaiMatute) reported

    @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus I enjoyed it for the most part, except for some cringy/cheesy dialogue and shots. Looks like a high budget fan made YouTube series. Also there was a constant issue of not being able to hear what they were saying because the music was loud. 6ish 7/10

  • kevdevlyn Kevin Porter (@kevdevlyn) reported

    @paramountplus The paramount app on Xbox is not working. Thanks

  • SpreadEagleBear SpreadEagleBear (@SpreadEagleBear) reported

    @paramountplus , the image quality of #Halo on all apps (browser, MS Store app, Android app, Roku) is eff'ing terrible. Looks like 480p. You getting crushed? I'm not going to bother watching until you fix your CDN.

  • farleymalorrus Farley Malorrus, Former KROQ, ABC7, CRN Astrologer (@farleymalorrus) reported

    @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus PARAMOUNT lags TERRIBLE, had to delete it, my favorite shows but I can't watch the STOP AND GO effect. Heard from man that the signal was poor and that the feed was glitched, that I'm not the only one. SHOULD be able to buy it separate on AMAZON. MY TAKE. SAD. :(

  • Vancouver_Girl_ Vancouver-Girl (@Vancouver_Girl_) reported

    @RogueMogh @askparamount One of my friends is also deaf and she complained about the same issue on Paramount+. It would be nice if they could figure something out to make the episodes available to everyone.

  • RetriasTFC Ötis Jøhnsøn (@RetriasTFC) reported

    I'm glad the experience of watching the first #HaloTheSeries episode was worth the terrible experience I had with your app. It's like the DC App all over again and the @paramountplus app isn't new at all! It's unbelievable how terrible the app is.

  • Volcomfrm Field May (@Volcomfrm) reported

    @Microsoft @paramountplus I can’t believe you watched the halo series final result and didn’t scrap it. The suits are TERRIBLE.

  • Ballistic_dic Ballistic Dic (@Ballistic_dic) reported

    @paramountplus @HaloTheSeries Wasn't the worst first episode of a show but I really hope people learn to shoulder their rifles properly and don't tell me a battle rifle can't break through that armor.

  • JmexGames Jmex (@JmexGames) reported

    Anyone else having problems with paramount plus for TV? Can't watch anything it just loads forever #HaloTheSeries #ParamountPlus

  • MatthewSantos MA/SA (@MatthewSantos) reported

    @paramountplus Your streaming quality is the worst of any streaming platform. Pure trash. Feels like watching YouTube in 2007.

  • fairsinner FairSinner (@fairsinner) reported

    @HaloTheSeries @Halo @paramountplus Bruh why are they acting like John didn’t know about his kidnapping …… all spartan 2s are aware that they were taken and replaced by flash clones … please fix for season 2 do some reading or just any research

  • RetriasTFC Ötis Jøhnsøn (@RetriasTFC) reported

    @paramountplus Your @Xbox app is complete trash. I'm a new subscriber and the experience is terrible. Closed Captioning was the first thing I attempted to turn on and I had to google why the letters were all black. With inactivity, controller on or off, the screen dims?

  • TheRealRutledge Rutledge Daugette (@TheRealRutledge) reported

    Trying to watch #Halo, but the quality of @paramountplus is terrible. Garbled video, unclear audio - anyone else having this issue?

  • __Bird_God__ dumbass (@__Bird_God__) reported

    @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus I was excited I saw it, thought it was cool until Pablo did his confused batman impression, everything went very downhill from there Canceling my paramount sub Please hire writers who care about source material and please just have a few real fans vet scripts Give og VAs work

  • Dingalingus69 Kennylingus (@Dingalingus69) reported

    @paramountplus thanks for keeping the $9.99 for a service I canceled within an hour. Absolutely unwatchable from my computer due to no quality options and zero buffer. Starts clear and goes blurry within 5 minutes.

  • azxracer Paul In PHX (@azxracer) reported

    Trying to watch Hogs & Zags on @paramountplus and the stream keeps stopping and I have to reset it by selecting the program again. And, when it does work the video stream and audio stream are BADLY out of sync

  • MaxTweetFuckYou Glup Shitto (@MaxTweetFuckYou) reported

    @paramountplus fyi your app for Samsung tvs is slow to the point of not working.

  • basculegion1 basculegion (@basculegion1) reported

    @PatrickwjBurke @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus The better question is, what is right with them? They've had the flagship franchise for a decade and only driven it deeper and deeper from having cultural impact. The games got worse and worse. The servers somehow got worse than peer to peer 1mb down in 2007. I dont get it

  • tsalaroth Michael (@tsalaroth) reported

    @askparamount hey, I have a 200mb/s, low-latency connection but I'm getting 1995-era video quality from a streaming service I'm paying for - which ALSO is making me watch ads before each thing I watch, which is pretty damned tasteless.

  • TylerOliver13 Tyler Oliver (@TylerOliver13) reported

    @paramountplus It sucks that streaming on a top of the line PC with a 1gb internet connection has worse video quality than a 6 inch phone screen on slower WiFi. Why can't we adjust the quality of the video in our browsers yet?

  • find_ch Christopher Hopper (@find_ch) reported

    Dear @paramountplus, Your smart TV app needs work. Consistent refresh (even on a 1 gb connection), freezing at the end of ads only to make us rewatch ads when we’re forced to resume, and too many commercials for a paid tier. We’ll be dropping you after #HALO is done.

  • Zaki1166 Zaki Ahmed (@Zaki1166) reported

    @paramountplus @askparamount I have 200mbps up/down…and Halo premiere can’t even stream in 4k, your service is terrible. Everyone else gives 4k, Paramount is the worst steaming service out there. #ParamountPlus #smh #HaloTheSeries

  • ZHodgkison BeardedZee (@ZHodgkison) reported

    @paramountplus @HaloTheSeries Please stay away from anything Halo related again, you have ruined my childhood. That was garbage. Absolute garbage trash. Think about the worst possible way to make a Halo related TV series… now go and watch yours, because yours is worse than that.

  • lewzhizz Kaiser Lewzhizz (@lewzhizz) reported

    @DroYze @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus There’s some weird copyright issues going on between O’Donnel and halo so they weren’t available to use them directly from what I read

  • Vallirave allira♚ (@Vallirave) reported

    Really disappointed in @paramountplus for providing such a ****** quality for the #Haloseries on pc. It’s blocky. Pixelated. And just ruins the entire dynamic.

  • ramon23cordero Ramon Cordero (@ramon23cordero) reported

    @paramountplus as per usual you cannot live stream anything but the news. Why advertise Gonzaga v Arkansas when your live stream doesn't even work

  • Gabbichu ً (@Gabbichu) reported

    @paramountplus @HaloTheSeries WHATS UP WITH THE QUALITY HOW DO I CHANGE TO 1080P

  • levelupJeffrey Jeffrey (@levelupJeffrey) reported

    Anyone else have issues with streaming quality on @paramountplus? Trying to watch Halo on my PC and it keeps lowering the quality way below 1080. If I refresh, it loads HD for like 20 seconds and then lowers again.

  • RVAClassic Matt🇨🇦 (@RVAClassic) reported

    @KnedLz im watching it on 480p for somereason it wont buffer clear just ******* blurry pls fix ur **** 343 @paramountplus

  • Upstager12 ChaseBoi (@Upstager12) reported

    @HaloTheSeries @paramountplus The video quality on the app isn't good. Can I change it in the settings?
