TNT/Discovery+

[Sallyboy]

thanks for the response. When I tried contacting SKY, I got their infuriating bot asking me what i wanted to talk about and even when asking to speak to an agent I got nowhere. I will put in a complaint if I was entitled to have access to this

thank you

Thanks DaveDrizen - your help has been appreciated this evening

I have the basic Discovery + through my Sky account and just TNT Sport direct from Discovery +. It means two separate accounts and a Fire TV Stick. The advantage of subscribing through Discovery + is you can install the app on as many devices as you want and share it outside of your address. The only limitation is your can only stream on two devices simultaneously.

To me the the Sky stream system of intergration of app and channes  is a definite no no for me ever getting Sky stream. With Sky Q as the apps are separate,  what I have now I  have full access to the complete discovery plus service on the app on my box and can add the same subscription to various another device like my iPhone and firestick  with just using my Sky Sky id log in. I had  no problem last night watching the Arsenal match on discovery plus as part  of TNT subscription though my Sky package. I gather from comments on here yesterday on Sky stepream your TNT  though Sky only allows you viewing TNT on the linner channels and using the discovery  + app with you Sky id only gives you access to the basic discovery +  service. And you needed a another  sprate discovery + subscription of £31 to gain access to the extra TNT channels and sport on discovery plus +. To me this defernateno no for me ever getting Sky stream,  when Sky Q aventuly goes I would be better off with just a firestick and now tv for Sky sports and  discovery plus app forcTNT. May be by then there may be Freely box available with these apps as wel.

Thats not necessarily correct. 

You need to login to Discovery + with the credentials of the Discovery + account that has been linked with your Sky account. That may or may not be the same credentials as a person uses for their Sky ID ( and for security reasons certainly shouldn't be the same email and password combination used for your Sky ID).

To link a Sky account with a Discovery + account requires following these instructions: https://www.sky.com/help/articles/how-to-get-discovery-plus

When I first joined Stream I had a few months left on my BTTV sub (with TNT Sport). I added the Discovery+ free account with Sky and simply signed out and signed in to the app with my BTTV account. It's quite easy, just make sure each account has a different e-mail address and swap between the two. Obviously you can't view the channels through Sky's EPG though.

@Hunter2660 That's what I did initially with my free Sky account and direct Discovery + account. I got fed up with signing in and out and bought a Fire TV Stick for the second account. A bit lazy perhaps but never mind. 🙂

If you have tnt sports in your Sky package there is link further up this discussion that takes you to Sky marketplace that you can link your discovery+ full account to Sky account

@DaveDrizen I prefer TNT Sport through Discovery+ as you can watch it anywhere, including in other peoples houses.

Tha. I have tried that. When I  hit the button to "activate " D+ I get a big red warning triangle saying something like "sorry we can't do that at the moment "

the issue still has not resolved, me and Sky are talking tomorrow morning to see if we can fix the issue. I'll post on here once it's resolved
