@Kim771  No tnt sports is not included as standard if you cancel your subscription through sky you lose access on HBO max

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

I have the same issue. Moto GP on tomorrow and despite paying for TNT sports via sky I cant access away from home on the HBO app like i could with discovery plus as it says 'get access'

 

really frustrating . Why they had to change to HBO and make a mess . 

i do have TNT sports. Sort it out sky/hbo/tnt whoever has made a mess of all this!!

 

any resolutions please let me know

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

I have the same 'get access' problem as others here, but when I follow that link I get the message:

 

We can't do that at the moment

We hope to have everything back to normal soon. Please try again later

 

Has anyone else had any success with this?

I've been having the same issue. I called Sky last night and they weren't very specific but said it's an ongoing issue and to wait a bit and it should get resolved. 
Just checked the HBO app again this morning and still showing get access on all sports stuff so not sure how long we need to wait....

As I mentioned previously, you set up the two accounts within the HBO Max app on the Sky Puck. Once you have done it correctly, it will look like this, and you can now watch everything on HBO Max including TNT Sports.

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

I currently pay for TNT through Sky and previously was able to alos watch TNT through discovery plus.

 

I was unable to log into HBO with my discovery plus log in and set up a new account with HBO on my sky box, now it is showing as that I only have a basic subscription and am unable to watch TNT on HBO. I rang sky about it who said that it would corrct itself but didn't know when. Have also contacted the live chat for HBO who were useless.

 

Has anyone been able to find a way around this and link there TNT subscription to HBO.

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

I was in exactly the same position as you - TNT subscription through Sky and watching it via Discovery+. I set up my HBO Max account via their app yesterday and ever since all TNT Sports content said 'Get access' with a link to a useless page on Sky's website.

 

I was unable to set up two accounts within the HBO Max app on the Sky Puck as described earlier by RossyRossy. There does not seem to be the facility to do so, so I'm not sure how that works.

 

Anyhow I've just got off the phone with Sky and evidently the 'wrong' TNT Sports product pack was added to my account. It worked perfectly before with Discovery+, but not since the transition to HBO Max. Initially, I only saw 'HBO Max Basic with Ads' in the list but it seems you also need 'HBO Max TNT Sports' now for it to work. The solution was for them to remove TNT Sports from my Sky package and then re-add it. 'HBO Max TNT Sports' subsequently appeared in my content packs and app subscriptions and I was then able to watch all TNT Sports content immediately without having to do anything. 

 

I hope that helps you. Be persistent and tell them that unless they have a better suggestion, you have anecdotal evidence of a working solution from others with the same problem. 

 

FWIW I too found the HBO live chat to be next to useless, but to be fair to them this does seem to be a Sky issue and not an HBO one.

1. Log in to HBO Max to check TNT Sport (EE mobile plan add-on)  was  migrated from My Discovery+ (same email/password)

2. Go to MySky app on a browser, find HBO Max under App Subscriptions and select Activate - prompts for a number

2. Go to Sky Stream box, select 'Activate HBO Max' on Home screen (pretty prominant)

3. Sky screen displays a numeric code

4. Type that code into MySky App on browser

5. Redirected to HBO Max on browser

6. If not already logged in, authenticate with HBO Max using Discovery+ email/password, then accept any consent dialogue

7. Sky Stream screen refreshes and starts HBO Max. Test it's working with a Series Show and a Sports broadcast. 

7. Result - Sky "Basic with Ads" subscription  added to EE TNT Sports on same HBO Max account.

 

Can now log in to HBO Max and view both TNT Sports and HBO Max Basic with Ads (shows, limited movies, ads)

 

All from memory, apologies if some of it differs for you

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

After getting me to try various things, the answer was for them to remove TNT from my account and add it back on. That resolved the issue.

Re: TNT Sport migration to HBO Max

I have Sky Q and TNT Sports via BT/EE. Sky announced the HBO Max free and I signed up with ny Sky email. Went to watch TNT sports on the 410 channel and all appeared OK until I pressed the red button and was taken to HBO Max. Guess what - no TNT Sport in the App. 
Worked out I have now got 2 HBO accounts - one with free Sky offer that does not include TNT sports and one with TNT sports without HBO.

What a nightmare, Does anyone know if there is a way to combine into one account with Sky HBO and TNT sports?
