TNT sports free with Milti screen?

[Matt080516]

I read in the sky website that you are eligible for TNT sports for free, if you have a multi screen subscription. Has anyone else seen this or accessed this?

if you subscribe to TNT via SKY then there is no additional charge for watching TNT on mini boxes - I suspect this is what it is referring to

Doesn't sound right to me @Matt080516 

Cannot see Sky giving away a £28 month subscription just because you take Q Multiscreen.

Certainly hasn't applied in the past and cannot see it happening in the future.  There is surely 1000's of Multiscreen subscribers without TNT Sports.

If you subscribe to TNT Sport through Sky (and pay Sky for your Subscription) then you can watch on Mini boxes (provided you have the necessary Monthly Multiscreen subscription). Also subscribing through Sky TNT Sport in HD is included and Discovery plus is upgraded to premium.
If you pay BT directly for TNT Sports on Sky then to receive TNT Sport on Minis you need to pay BT’s monthly second box charge. One monthly charge covers all minis. Also to receive TNT Sport in HD there is an additional BT monthly charge when subscribing though BT.

As @nigea99 indicates, the relevant paragraph is here

" Also, if you have a Multiscreen subscription with Sky+/Sky Q or Whole Home subscription with Sky Glass or Sky Stream, TNT Sports will be available on your Sky Q mini boxes, other Sky+ boxes, Sky Stream pucks and any additional Sky Glass TVs at no additional cost. "

This sometimes gets interpreted to mean that TNT Sports is 'free' with those add-ons, which is not the case: it's saying that once the TNT subscription is paid through Sky billing then there's no extra charge for viewing on all of the Sky hardware at the same address.

The actual situation is that unlike if you subscribe through BT themselves, you wouldn't be able to watch the TNT Channels on your Multi Screen Box as well as your main Sky Box, you would have to pay an extra payment to view on Multi Screen Boxes, just as you would also need to pay extra if you wished to watch any of those channels in HD too, however, if you subscribe through Sky Directly, you would be able to view your TNT Channels on your Multi Screen Boxes and in Full HD without having to pay any extra amounts to do so like you would if you went through BT themselves!  Therefore it would be cheaper to go directly through Sky to Subscribe to all the TNT Channels instead of going through BT due to the hidden extra charges for Multi-Screen and HD Channels which both cost extra, on top of their basic Channel Subscription.

I do hope this information helps with your decision making as I know I would prefer not to have to pay extra for what is a basic through Sky Direct!  Atleast with Sky Tv and their Sports Channels, the only time you have to pay for an upgrade is if you wish to watch the programmes in UHD, unlike BT who charge you for watching in Basic HD and if you wish to watch on a Multi Screen Box would also be extra.  The saying 'Once Bitten, Twice Shy' springs to mind.  Or 'Fool Me Once, Shame On Me.  Fool Me Twice, Never Going To Happen'!!! Sorry guys but the latter is my version of the old Chinese Proverb of:  'Fool Me Once, Shame On You.  Fool Me Twice, Shame On Me'!
