Once SmartCast loads, scroll through the list of available apps and inputs until you see the Paramount+ app. Remember: there is no Showtime app here. Paramount+ is the only way to watch Showtime on a Vizio smart TV.
At last, you can now watch Showtime on your Vizio smart TV. Enjoy the latest seasons of shows like Billions and The Chi, or stream shows and films from the Showtime library. As a bonus, your subscription also gives you access to the larger library of Paramount+ content.

Finally, no matter which system you opt for, bear in mind that, once SHOWTIME designs an app compatible with Vizio, it will be a better idea to download and install it on your smart TV. The features are specifically designed to run with the system so potential compatibility problems will be avoided.
This is a major problem. Our main tv is not a smart tv as that one died after two years. It also did not have the ability to download the Prime app. Why can't they just have a widget or channel like they do for Netflix?
But nearly four years after struggling to achieve its vision and watching it flop, Google this week declared that it will try again. At the Google I/O conference for application developers, the company demonstrated a system that purports to tie various devices together to deliver quick access to movies, television shows, video games and Web videos on smartphones, tablets and TVs.
The Android operating system simplified work for mobile device manufacturers and now powers about 70 percent of smartphones worldwide, according to IHS. Forecast by MarketsandMarkets to be worth $265 billion by 2016, the smart-TV market could be far more lucrative for Google.
"Google has such a large footprint across smartphones, tablets and other devices that they could create an experience so slick that it's difficult to match," he said. "Over time, it is potentially very disruptive."
In 2010, Sony Corp. and Logitech started selling smart TVs that ran Google software. Through voice commands, physical keyboards or remote controls, users could search the Web, hunt for online video and music streams, or check social media accounts through apps.
A Silicon Valley executive whose previous venture was synonymous with Internet piracy has found a way to play nice with Hollywood. BitTorrent Inc. co-founder Ashwin Navin is working with television networks and consumer electronics companies on a new technology called Samba that aims to deliver enhanced viewing on Internet-connected "smart TVs."
Navin's San Francisco company, Flingo, draws from the same body of academic research for Samba that underlies the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's face recognition technology to teach smart TVs to "see" the images flickering on the screen.
Once Samba determines what a viewer is watching, it delivers contextually relevant content, such as casting information or social media conversations, directly to the TV - as well as to other screens in the room. The software synchronizes the devices automatically, via the Internet, so the consumer doesn't need to download a special application. The supplemental material is available through a Web browser running on a tablet, smartphone or the TV itself.
Flingo is one of several companies seeking to serve as the technological glue that connects the living room TV with the smartphones, tablets or laptop computers that millions of consumers have in their hands, along with their TV remote controls. One Nielsen study found that 86 percent of tablet owners and 84 percent of smartphone users said they check these screens while they watch TV. Television networks have been grappling with the intrusion of these small screens, which compete with the TV for viewers' attention.
Companies such as Zeebox, Yahoo Inc.'s IntoNow and Shazam Entertainment Ltd. offer smartphone and tablet applications that identify TV shows and deliver supplementary content to this second, smaller screen - including cast lists, a plot synopsis and interactive features such as polling.
Navin launched Flingo in 2008, creating smart TV applications for networks including A&E, Fox, History Channel, Lifetime, Showtime and TMZ, as well as websites such as Revision3, Funny or Die and College Humor. As a result of this development work, the company has built relationships with more than a dozen major consumer electronics manufacturers, among them LG Electronics, Samsung Electronics Co., Sony Corp. and Vizio Inc. It claims to have published more smart TV apps than any other company in the world - available on more than 15 million devices in 118 countries.
"The smart TV is the last great unmined consumer platform," said billionaire entrepreneur Mark Cuban, who saw a demonstration of Flingo at the CES trade show last year and is an investor in the company.
