HBO & TNT Sport

pop42 — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 12:33:27 GMT

I wonder if anyone else is having the same problem!

We have TNT through EE and just got HBO through our existing Sky package today. In order to watch both, I've had to log in to the HBO Sky app with Sky login to get TV & films. And Samsung TV HBO app with TNT login to see sport. I can't get both at the a same time without swapping between the login details.
Am I doing something wrong?

I was in a similar postion to you, I had TNT Sports from BT (which I watched via Discovery+ app either on my MacBook or on Sky Q app) and then was offered HBO Max today.

What I did was to open the HBO Max app on Sky Q and then followed the instructions to login to the HBO Max app on my MacBook (I used my Discovery+ ID and password but nothing suggested this), got a numeric code which I entered into Sky Q app and TNT Sports was available to me.

But, none of the HBO series or movies were available, they all said "Get Access". Not sure whether this would have resolved itself in time, but to be sure I logged into My Sky app and activated HBO Max on the TV option page.

When I went back into Sky Q all series and most movies were then available (some movies still say "Get Access" but I imagine these are part of a paid upgrade which I do not want or need).

When I look at my Account page on HBO it shows I have TNT via BT and Basic with Ads from Sky.

Hope this helps.

The only way you can do it is to change one of your log in details to match the other, as other wise you can not expect to login to sky on a compedetors login.

Ah... realisation of why my method mentioned above worked... my Sky and Discovery + IDs are the same.
