Hi @Tonie and welcome to the forum.  You could try but it is unlikely and would need to be done an individual basis.  How would Sky know who can and and couldn't access Discovery +

 

Without doubt many people do have issues with the Streaming platform and some of the Apps, (Discovery + in this case) but they are in the minority. Due to the nature of a help forum people tend to join if they have a problem and are searching for a solution and to vent their frustration which gives the illusion that "everyone" on the forum has issues.

 

If you feel strongly enough you can lodge a complaint at this LINK  (you will need to sign into your MySky account)

Spoke to Complaints and received this message from Tom

I'm really sorry to hear the issues you're experiencing.

We currently have a known issue where Discovery+ may show an on-screen message as you've mentioned, such as upgrade to watch.
This has affected some customer who used to have Q but then moved to Glass/Stream.
We are currently investigating this with Discovery but I regret to inform you we have no timescale of when we expect this to be fixed, I'm really sorry.
As mentioned, Sky are investigating this with Discovery but from experience I know this has been on-going for sometime implying it's a bigger issue than expected to seek a resolution.

Historically things are slow when Sky have to work with Discovery + to fix something.

 

you just need to search this forum and you will find multiple examples/issues or problems with the discovery + app that requires collaboration between both parties taking typically taking several months to resolve.

@Jhill58  I don't know if this is relevant to the overall issue or not but I will mention it anyway.  For context I was watching the Giro cycling on Discovery + earlier this afternoon.  This evening I went to watch something else on D+ and it told me I had to login and I was presented with the usual QR Code and activation number.  After logging in and using the activation code everything worked as expected however I did notice the progress bar (just above the FF/RW buttons) was thinner and the time counters either end were much smaller.

 

My point being that there may have been an update so it might be worth you checking again  to see if you have more luck than before.

 

My version details are as per the photo below

Morning @robbo19731 

 

That's great that you've managed to find a solution!

 

Can I ask a few questions?

  • Can you explain the problem that you were experiencing?
  • What do you think was done to fix it?
  • Did it work straight away?

 

Thanks
