In Spain Discovery+ is no longer available so users have use Max instead.

For some reason your box (or the discovery+ app) thinks you are a Spanish user.

So two suggestions 1) do a reboot of the box to see if that fixes it 2) refresh the apps - " To refresh apps on Sky Q, press the Home button, navigate to Settings, and then enter the code "001" followed by Select. This will open the installer menu. Highlight "Apps" and then select "Refresh all Apps on this box". A message will appear indicating the apps are refreshing " Go back to your normal viewing and give a bit of time to do its thing.

(In addition you should - I think! - be able to use your Discovery+ login details on other apps if your tv supports it or online so you can try there to make sure your account is ok.)

Are you using a VPN? Something is causing it to think you're in Spain (or a Spanish speaking country)

Hi @JC785 Have you activated it correctly on your Sky Q box? activate your discovery+ access on your Sky TV device.

Ah - I think I've found your issue. When you mentioned your broadband Hey I had a quick qoogle and....

it seems at times (going back at least 4 years) they've routed through Spain resulting in issues like yours. On occasions people have been unable to logon to their banking services as a result! I suspect if try to use the BBC iPlayer you might currently be geoblocked as well.

When you renew your broadband it might something to consider?
