Discovery plus channels

I have sky essentials with Discovery + std. What should I get for this as most programmes seem to require additional subscriptions. Hammond workshop for example. Seems to me its pointless bundling it with sky stream.

I've just tried Hammonds Garage and it works fine on Discovery+ Standard.

Have you correctly setup and linked your Discovery+ account to your Sky account?

For clarity, it's Discovery+ 'Entertainment' (aka 'Basic', their £3.99 tier) which is bundled with Sky 'Essential TV'. Given the pricing of Essential TV has to cover that, Netflix Standard with Adverts (£5.99) and Sky Atlantic, there really isn't much margin left.

I give up on this, I've checked and double checked signed in and out of the app and still D+ says I have no subscription.
