The 3rd Generation Apple TV Will No Longer Support CBS All Access/Paramount+ and Showtime

Every electronic device no matter how many bells and whistles it may come with when it is new eventually gets old and one day needs to be replaced.

This time may be quickly approaching for Apple TV 3 owners. While it was already lacking an App store like the Apple TV 4, and 4K that came after it. We now learned that the Apple TV 3 besides the loss of the YouTube app, will also no longer support the new upcoming Paramount+ or Showtime apps.

Paramount+ is the name for CBS All Access which is soon to be rebranded. And with this, they are getting ready to roll out an enhanced app with much more content. It will include 30,000+ TV episodes and films from content partners like BET, CBS, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, and Paramount Pictures, and others.

To add insult to injury, Apple TV users will no longer have access to the awesome and inexpensive Showtime, CBS All Access, and AppleTV+ bundle. This was an ad-free package deal that was only $9.99/month.

This bundle is being discontinued when the release of Paramount+ on Thursday, March 4. In U.S. and Latin American markets.

As much as we would like to tell you to simply upgrade to an Apple TV 4K, we can't. Because hopefully, any day now Apple is planning on releasing an updated new Apple TV 6. Although we have been hearing about this for many months now, and there is not yet an official launch date scheduled.

If these channels matter to you, then you may want to invest in a low-cost Roku Express, so you can enjoy watching the shows you love until the Apple TV 6 finally arrives.

A Roku would double your streaming TV pleasure by letting you access a ton of entertaining Roku channels like these.

Who knows, you might enjoy the Roku enough to forget all about upgrading to an undoubtedly more expensive Apple TV 6.
