Budget Streamer Paramount+ And Free Firestick Lite Offer Is Still Available In The US; UPDATE: Free Trial Available in Canada for New Users, 3 Months Free to Returning Subs.


by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

Paramount+ is a premium streaming TV service which is perfect for the streamer on a budget, and the service is now offering it's best deal ever. Taking a considerable discount off annual plans as well as offering an incredible deal on one of Amazon's best devices, this offer is definitely worth considering if you are a new subscriber in the US who is on the fence in pulling the trigger for the first time, and for returning subscribers as well.

About the offer (only available in the US):

For users of Paramount+ south of the border, the streamer has an ongoing promotion offering a free Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite streaming device with an annual supscription of Paramount+, available to new and returning subscribers to the service. (Sorry, this offer is not available in Canada.)

Sign up for the 12-month Essential ad-supported plan for only US$24.99 (normally US$49.99), or you can get the Premium mostly ad-free plan for US$49.99 (normally US$99.99). Additionally, as a limited bonus offer, you get a Fire TV Stick Lite, capable of streaming up to 1080p, which is a value of US$29.99.

For viewers in the US, you can access a variety of exclusive streaming shows like Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, Halo, and The Good Fight. You can also stream live sports, like NFL games on CBS, and opting for the Premium plan even gets you your local CBS station. This offer continues until November 3rd, though the availability of free Fire Sticks is “while supplies last.”


Redeeming the offer:

  • To get your free Fire TV Stick Lite, go to Paramountplus.com and click the REDEEM OFFER button. Then it will say “You’re just 3 quick steps away from streaming!” which you can skip by clicking the “CONTINUE” button.
  • You are now in the first step, where you must select a plan. Simply select Essential or Premium subscription and click the SELECT PLAN button to proceed.
  • As of now, Paramount+ is asking you to subscribe to the Paramount+ with SHOWTIME bundle, which you can avoid by clicking the MAYBE LATER button.
  • The next screen will prompt you to create an account; simply click the CONTINUE button to proceed to step 2. Simply enter your details, such as your full name, email address, and other details, and then click the CONTINUE button. Then it will ask you, “One last step!” “Add a payment method.”
  • To enter payment details, simply click the CONTINUE button. The final step is to enter your payment information, whether you want to use your credit card or pay with PayPal. After correctly entering your payment information, click the START PARAMOUNT+ button.
  • After you have completed all procedures, Paramount+ will send you an email with a transaction receipt/details as well as an email with a promo code that you can use to get a FREE Amazon Fire TV Stick Lite from Amazon.com/fire-tv-stick-lite/dp/B07YNLBS7R.
  • The promotional code must be used by November 3rd, 2022. We recommend that you use that promo code as soon as you receive it in your email. 

Paramount+ in Canada:

Since the free Fire TV Stick Lite offer is only available in the US, new Canadian subscribers can still take advantage of a 7-day free trial, then CA$5.99 per month after that. The sign up process is similar to what is described above, but you will not get any coupon code for a free device. Content on Paramount+ will also differ from its American counterpart due to varying streaming rights held by Bell Media and Rogers Media in Canada. The Canadian version of Paramount+ is only available as a monthly, ad-free premium service and includes ET Live (Entertainment Tonight) and CBS News live streams. 

Want to know what's streaming on Paramount+ in Canada this month? One of the best resources for this information is here: https://www.wherecaniwatch.ca/. Just look for the articles that start with, "What's new on Canadian streaming & TV in..."

Click here to sign up for Paramount+ right now.

UPDATE 10/21/22: The Facebook page for Paramount+ Canada announced 3 months free to returning subscribers. The link on the page directs you to log in, so it's assumed that you already have a pre-existing login to be able to get the deal. (New subscribers can't get the offer, but will be able to get 7 days free, as usual). The original Facebook post is here: https://fb.watch/gkYcQfjS_U/

Roku Livens Up Screens This Fall With New Dynamic Wallpaper And Screensaver


by Georges Brunet, Chief Editor of the @StreamOnABudget blog.

One of the most annoying things about Roku's seasonal themes is that Roku (for some unknown reason) doesn't usually make their themes available permanently. Generally, seasonal themes for special events or holidays automatically appear on your Roku for a limited time, then once the season or event is over, the themes (meaning the wallpaper background of the main Roku screen and the accompanying screensaver) are automatically purged from your device. You can't find them in their Roku channel (app) store once they are gone.

This autumn season, Roku updated our TVs and devices with a great new theme, "Fall in the Park," which gave us a dynamic wallpaper called, well, "Fall in the Park," with animated leaves blowing in the wind across your screen, and adapted its City Stroll: Movie Magic screensaver with matching fall colors. The updated screensaver also included new movie references embedded as "Easter Eggs" in scenes as they scrolled across your screen. About a week later, the wallpaper disappeared reverting to the default I had set, and the original City Scroll: Movie Magic screensaver returned.

I had expressed my disappointment about this in my Facebook group, We Are Streamers On A BudgetSoon thereafter some members had alerted me that the wallpaper and screensaver were updated as individual channels in the Roku app store. Does that mean that Roku is finally making their seasonal themes permanent for all to enjoy any time of year?

I certainly dig the "Dynamic Wallpapers," I wish they had more of them. The only one that I am aware exists is the Winter Wonderland wallpaper that has falling snowflakes, but that's about it. Until now!

Roku's new autumn-themed dynamic wallpaper is now available by searching with the term FALL IN THE PARK, and find the new screensaver with the term FALL STROLL IN THE PARK.

You can also add them onto your Roku via your account online using the links below:

It’s feeling like fall in Roku World. Take in the wonders of the season in this crisp, cool Wallpaper.

It’s a perfect fall day in Roku World! Savor the sights of the season as you stroll through the park.
