upgrade from Discovery+ to premium

I have TNT Sports with Sky Q and discovery+ with them as well. I am getting messages that I can get a free upgrade to Discovery+ Premium but cannot find out how to do this on line. Is there a way or do I have to wait 20 minutes on their customer help line?
Thanks
Chris

@metalmad1983 if you have the relevant TNT Sports subscription you aren't limited to watching it on the Sky Q box just install the Discovery+ app on your smart tv or mobile device.

Hi @Chris1950 

Provided you are subscribing to TNT Sports through Sky (and not through BT) then you automatically get Discovery Premium.

When you go into the Discovery plus App on Sky Q you will see all available TNT Sports content

Don't know if that's correct @metalmad1983 

Personally I suspect premium content only applies to Discovery plus App through Sky in this instance.

THanks for the link. I had been down that path before and it doesn't give - as far as I can see - any way to get premium.

Re: upgrade from Discovery+ to premium

You're right, I have been watching TNT on Sky but that is a subscribed package. AS i have TNT through Sky, I am told by Sky I can have discovery+ Premium for free. 
I have discovery+ but cannot see how this is upgraded to Premium. 
I have follwed the links on the Sky pages and have ended up ont he forum hoping someone can clarify what I need to do.

As I said @Chris1950 

You don't have to do anything extra to get Discovery plus premium if you subscribe to TNT Sports through Sky.

Obviously your free Discovery plus has to Activated which I assume you have already done.

@Chris1950 I subscribe to TNT Sports via BT but if I logged in with my BT ID via the Sky Q Box Discovery+ premium at the time wasn't available on the Sky Q  but after the recent update TNT Sports channels are now showing.

 

Subscribing to TNT Sports via Sky you don't necessarily need to watch via the Discovery+ app on your Sky Q box as you've got the TNT channels via the EPG in the Sports section.

 

Having a TNT subscription upgrades Discovery+ to premium to include the TNT channels if you cancel TNT sports it will still be the premium version on the Sky Q box but you won't be able to watch TNT Sports without the required subscription

The issue for me is when I use the discovery+ app and click on TNT sports, it shows me a message telling me to contact my supplier, I cant use TNT sports on discovery+ even though I am supposed to have the discovery+ premium service.

I have followed all the links I can find on Sky including the one you sent and none explain how my discovery+ service is upgraded to premium. If you can find that , I would be grateful
