TNT Sports

I have a sky stream account (sky sports etc), and also access TNT sports through a separate subscription to them.

About 3 months ago I was no longer able to access TNT sports channels, the diagram stating that I needed to updrage my subscription. I called TNT sports, they said my account was fine, and I needed to contact Sky as to why I could no longer access TNT sports channels. Any ideas?

Does this have anything to do with HBO Max??

I've read someewhere that I need to "activate" HBO Max. Do I need a separate subscription for this? Already paying for Sky/ TNT so don't really want another subscription!!

@AWS1963 Access to the tnt sports channels via the sky EPG is restricted to those paying sky direct (ie showing as a separate line on your sky bill) so is this the case as it sounds like you are paying a third party for tnt sports

More likely you need someone to link the accounts under one login. A version of HBO Max is included with Sky, but if you also pay someone else for TNT Sports, that is also viewed via HBO Max these days (unless you pay Sky for it, as already mentioned).

For example, I have TNT Sports linked to my EE TV account (I have EE broadband) and HBO Max access with my Sky TV subscription. Who do you pay for the TNT Sports element? EE?

If it is EE, then check out this post on their community: TNT Sports or HBO Max - read this first
