Paying to stop adverts on discovery plus i

I upgraded discovery plus from Basic with ads for £4 per month to Standard on the understanding that it will stop ads

Am I wrong?

@GH931

I believe that has to be the Premium plan.

hi @GH931

Are you sure you mean Discovery plus ?

Their basic plan is just Entertainment (which does indeed include ads) & I think their more expennive plans used to include sports that has now moved to TNT Sports a while ago ( & is now via the HBO Max app)

IIRC even paying for the more expensive plan in the past did not guarantee no ads (after they introduced them)

The only plan I can see on their website is the Entertainment plan - which echoes my initial thoughts

Sorry, I was wrong, apparently there is no way to stop the ads

That's correct, Discovery+ doesn't offer an ad-free option.
