TNT Sports Channels unavailable on SKY+ TV Guide

[OddJob7]

Hi,

I've got a subscription for TNT Sports via BT/EE. Up to now I've been able to access this via Channel 410, 411, etc.

In the last couple of days I haven't been able to access the content. I'm getting a message that a subscrition is required.

The TNT subscription appears to be still active as I can access the content via my PC.

I'd really like to get it back on Channel selection & not have to use Apps on the Smart TV as I'm not so technically minded.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks

Can you post the exact error message you're seeing? Do you subscribe to TNT directly, or via Sky?

[OddJob7]

The subscription is to TNT via BT/EE so not to Sky directly.

The message is saying that to view the channel I need to subscribe to this channel.

So I'm assuming that somehow Sky & TNT aren't communicating in the background - although they were a couple of days ago.

I'd guess your Viewing Card has lost the TNT entitlement. As you subscribe directly through TNT, I'd call them in the first instance.

@OddJob7 Can you access the SD version on Ch 868 and 869 ?

[OddJob7]

Thanks, but I wasn't able to get access to the TNT Sports channels on 868 & 869. I had the same message requesting I set up a subscription with SKY.

Interestingly in the course of my investigations yesterday both a SKY Technical Support guy & a SKY engineer (who happened to be in the street on a call out) said that this was very possibly a move towards obsolescense of SKY+. So gradually they push you towards upgrading to SKY Q by taking funtionality away.

I would doubt that. This is functionality you're paying TNT Sports for, so I'd struggle to see how Sky could unilaterally remove it. What has TNT Sports said about it?
