Discovery +

[Skyedriver]

As I understand it, BT Sport is renamed TNT now and will shortly be removed from the Sky listings and will be available on the Discovery+ APP.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The positive for me is that I can now watch "BT Sport" or to be more exact, MotoGP/2/3 & the occasional football match on my lap top, anywhere whereas before it was only available on one TV in the house.
The disadvantage is that I can also watch Discovery+ on my TV but it's like a visual Norman Collier, constantly stalling and stuttering.
I also can't record it on my SkyQ box I don't think.
Am I doing something wrong or is it just the way it is?
Thanks

That's just the way it is on my TV too. Never really worked out why. I stick to the laptop.

I had this using an Amazon fire stick, kept freezing whilst watching discovery, upgraded it to a newer fire stick and has been perfect ever since, so may be a resources issue with whatever hardware you're watching it through.

Can I ask again about Discovery+ and access to it. Sorry if I sound a bit thick.

I currently have SkyQ (Entertainment package but not the SkySport package) and have BTSport (now TNT) as an add on.
This means I can now watch TNT and also Eurosport 1&2 on both my TV and having registered (free) with Discovery+ on my lap top as well.

I think I registered the Disco+ via my BT landline & broadband account.

If I now ditch TNT/BT Sport add on and save a few ££ in monthly fees, will I still be able to access Disco+ and hence the BT/TNT channels and Eurosport?

Thanks

You will have to pay for the TNT content somewhere along the line. Not sure what's included with your BT deal, but I imagine it will be an extra to access via Discovery+.

Sounds logical but if it's "free" from BT & Sky TV....?

I had the six months of free BT Sport thing via EE, and yet it's still working- now as TNT on Discovery+ -over three years later! Plus, I get Discovery+ content (specifically, Hammond's Workshop) for free even though I thought D+ was a subscription thing?

Winning.

I'd keep quiet about that.

What I meant is TNT is not part of the basic Discovery+ package. I subscribe to the Sports and Entertainment package to get BT Sport and Eurosport (what will be TNT) on Discovery+.

If you get that package as part of your BT deal, happy days.
