To watch CBS on DIRECTV, follow these steps:
1. Check your DIRECTV package: Ensure your DIRECTV subscription includes the channel that carries CBS. CBS is usually available in the basic and higher-tier packages, but it may vary depending on your location and package choice. If you don’t have CBS in your current package, you may need to upgrade to a package that includes it.
2. Search for CBS on your DIRECTV receiver:
– On your DIRECTV remote, press the “Guide” button to bring up the channel guide.
– Scroll through the guide or use the search function to find CBS. Typically, CBS is available on channel 2 in many areas, but this can vary by region, so you might need to check your local CBS channel number.
3. Use the On-Demand service: If you’re looking to watch CBS shows on-demand, you can access CBS content through the DIRECTV On-Demand library:
– Press the “Menu” button on your DIRECTV remote.
– Select “On Demand” and browse the available content. Look for CBS programs and shows available for streaming.
– You can also access some CBS programming via DIRECTV’s streaming app or online if you have a compatible device.
4. Stream CBS with the DIRECTV app: If you have a DIRECTV satellite or streaming account, you can also stream CBS content through the DIRECTV app on your mobile device or smart TV:
– Download and install the DIRECTV app on your device.
– Log in with your account details.
– Browse or search for CBS shows or channels available through your subscription.
5. Use CBS All Access / Paramount+: If you want access to more CBS content beyond what’s available on DIRECTV, you can subscribe to CBS All Access (now known as Paramount+). This service offers additional CBS programming, including live broadcasts, exclusive shows, and more. You can watch this service through the app on your smart TV, phone, or streaming device, and sometimes DIRECTV offers bundling options.
If you’re experiencing issues, make sure your satellite dish is properly aligned, check your internet connection (if using streaming), or contact DIRECTV customer service for assistance.
