TNT sports through discovery plus app

[CP2025S]

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone can help

as I am a little confused. I am currently a BT customer and I have the TNT sports package. I want to change to sky and subscribe to TNT through sky but I am reading conflicting information on TNT sports access. I want to be sure I can access TNT sports through the discovery plus app on other devices e.g. firestick/IPAD even if I subscribe through Sky. Two sky representatives have told me that I can over the phone but this appears to be contrary to what I am reading online. Thanks in advance for any comments

If you subscribe to TNT through Sky Stream, they'll put you on Discovery+ Premium meaning you'll get access to TNT via the EPG or via the Discovery+ app..

To avoid any confusion, after tomorrow, discovery+ Premium ceases to exist as it is being replaced with 'discovery+ TNT Sports & Entertainment'.

Nothing changes apart from the name, as already advised, if you buy TNT Sports via Sky you get channels in the EPG/TV Guide and access to discovery+.

Thank you both for your swift replies, much appreciated. It's the sky essentials package I've gone for with add in sky sports and TNT. It's the wording in the email I received from sky that confused me as below but thanks for confirming that I can watch on through the Discovery + app on other devices 😃

'It's worth noting that using the discovery+ TNT Sports & Entertainment app on your other devices isn't part of this pack, and you'll also need a compatible set-top-box to watch discovery+ TNT Sports & Entertainment on Sky TV.'

@CP2025S Are you in the UK?

You didn't mention the Essentials pack earlier, the help page I linked to does say:

"Please note: Those with the Sky Q TV Essentials pack can’t access this offer."

As you are posting in the Stream forum I assumed this doesn't apply.

Yes I am in the UK, sorry abit naive with all this so Sky Stream is different to sky essentials? Perhaps I need to change my order to something else so I can ensure I get this benefit . It's so confusing as there are so many products ....

Its all good, Sky Stream is the hardware and is available with a starting pack of 'Essential TV' to which you can add extra packs like Sky Sports, Cinema, TNT etc.

As you say, it can be confusing. To confirm, I think the email text is generic and incorrect in your case.

After numerous emails calls and " we've raised a techenical issue" and it will be fixed in 24hours... 3 months later, I fixed it.
Cancel the Sky TNT subscription and go directly with Discovery+ TNT, its £3 more, but it works, and I can watch all catch up etc...
As for SKY help.. after 30 years I should have known better.
Yes, I did all the resets, open new account, switch off, reboot, wait 24hrs, check this check that, waste countless time on the phone, Oh the joys.
