TNT 5

[Rogbad]

I subscribe to BT Sports an get all the TNT channels. I can log in to Discovery + but when I try to watch TNT 5 it says I need to upgrade. I can't find an online solution and it's a 40 minute wait to speak to a human. Anyone advise please?

@Rogbad  What happens when you press the red button on your sky box when watching tnt sports 1 can you access it that way?

What is actually on TNT Sports 5?

I'm going through Discovery+ and they seem to have got rid of all the channel numbers!

Who do you pay for access to Discovery+ and Sports, Sky or BT/EE?

@stereohaven  It's one of the four fa cup ties currently playing whilst Macclesfield is on tnt sports 1 the other three are on discovery plus or using the red button on the remote

What I mean is, I've been watching Everton v. Sunderland via the app, nothing says which channel it is on, even the DOG just says "TNT Sports", so it was hard for me too troubleshoot "TNT Sports 5" if I can't work out what it supposed to be on it. 😁

Had to fire up the EE TV app to work out Everton v. Sunderland is indeed on TNT Sports 5.

I can access Discovery + on the red button but it says I need to upgrade to watch the channels even though my Sky account confirms I'm a subscriber.

FA cup football today on TNT 5 vis the red button.

Or you can watch via the Discovery+ app on Sky or any other device., it just doesn't tell you easily what is on TNT Sports 5.

It's extra time so still time to login and watch.

It's not listed on my red button

[Rogbad]

No, with the red button on each channel it says I need to upgrade. I can get al the other TNT channels., 410>. Surely there isn't a separate subscription for the red button channels?

It isn't (as far as I know and in the UK are caveats), and if you are paying Sky to access TNT Sports then I would recommend starting a chat online (save hanging on the phone), for them to look into it as we are also customers.

I would start the online journey here: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/tnt-sports

It says he gets it through BT (well, BT Sports hasn't existed for 2.5 years so I assume he means TNT Sports), not Sky

assume you're logged into Discovery+ using the same account that BT / TNT know about?

I dont think he does, even though he mentions BT Sport at one point, he says:

I assume I am as I can get all the other regular TNT and Discovery + channels. Just the red button channels, TNT5> which it says I need to upgrade.

Just confirm who you pay for access, BT/EE or Sky? Is it on your Sky bill? If so, follow the journey I added earlier.

If you pay BT/EE, good luck!
