SHOWTIME in China: Find Billions and Check an Old Subscription

01How to follow the Billions episode links

Sohu calls the show 亿万富翁第一季 and lists Damian Lewis and Paul Giamatti. Its page offers two different actions. 播放预告片 opens a trailer; 播放正片 points to the full programme at Tencent Video. The season selector numbers the episodes 1 through 12. Start on the specific episode you want and check which company’s player opens before signing in. Sohu’s Billions season one catalogue

We followed the first episode link to Tencent. Its public destination showed its player site and sign-in controls. That establishes where Sohu sends you, but it does not confirm current subscriber playback, the price or English subtitles. In particular, do not subscribe to Sohu simply because you found the title on Sohu. Check what the destination actually offers. Tencent Video destination linked from Sohu’s first episode

02Find the last receipt before attempting an account reset

If your old U.S. payment was for the standalone SHOWTIME streaming subscription through Amazon, SHOWTIME says access ended April 30, 2024. Those subscriptions were cancelled and were not automatically transferred to Paramount+. Look up the latest charge on your Amazon account. If there is a new channel subscription on it, open that channel from the account that paid. SHOWTIME’s notice for former Amazon-billed subscribers

For a current direct Paramount+ charge, inspect the Paramount account instead. If SHOWTIME appears only on a cable bill, ask that provider which app and sign-in it includes. The historical name “Paramount+ with SHOWTIME” can appear in older notices. The product name on an old statement alone does not establish current streaming access in mainland China.

03Which U.S. Paramount+ plan includes the episode?

Paramount’s U.S. plan comparison says Premium includes its full SHOWTIME offering. Essential includes selected programming, and some series may omit episodes. Paramount illustrates the distinction with Yellowjackets: its guide identifies seasons one and two on any plan and season three on Premium. Check today’s episode page before changing a plan, because that mix can change. These are U.S. plan details. Paramount+ U.S. plan comparison Paramount’s U.S. guide to SHOWTIME programming

If one season plays and another asks you to upgrade, note the season, plan and billing provider before troubleshooting your network. If the whole service reports that the region is unavailable, compare the address where you are with Paramount’s supported markets. Neither a U.S. IP address nor a connection subscription upgrades an Essential account. Paramount+ country selector

04Decide whether any new payment is necessary

For one episode of Billions in Shanghai, the shortest path is to inspect the local episode offer. For an American subscription you no longer use, the task may instead be to identify and manage the existing bill. A payment for a local programme, a current Paramount+ plan and a network service are three different transactions. Choose the purchase that actually answers your question.
