Can I Stream Paramount+ in 4K on Roku?
Yes, Paramount+ brings 4K and Dolby Vision HDR content. However, only around fifty titles are currently available in 4K, so not much than what ‘CBS All Access’ used to offer.

If I Used to Have CBS All Access, Will I Get Paramount+ Automatically?
If you have a ‘CBS All Access’ account, you will transition to Paramount+ without having to do anything. Also, the ‘CBS All Access’ channel is no longer available on Roku and has already been replaced by the Paramount+ standalone channel.
