@best+of+the+best what is the point of your post? That's clearly an American advert as it's in dollars

And the point of your post is what 

Any currency can be converted to Pounds GBP

as you don't get it @Nigelb1972 so $ 9.99 converts to £8.03

And Prime Video at $14.99 converts to £12.06 , the actual uk price is £8.99

 

Max basic with ads is €5 99 (£4.98) in Europe , so that's a closer indication of what the UK price will be, Standard tier is €9.99 and Premium tier is €13.99 (which isn't available via Prime Video channels)

Still failing to see the point of your post @Timelord2018 


I agree with the other poster, this simply shouldn't be shown on pages with 24 month contracts

 

Every right to put a complaint into the Advertising Standards Authority 


It depends if you've signed up for 24 months or on a 31 day rolling contract you still get Discovery + included on both contracts 

So failing to see what your post actually means @Timelord2018 


It says stream over 300 days of Cycling including the Tour De France, snooker and motorsports ,

I love the nitty gritty of terms and conditions and advertising sometimes.

 

It doesn't say which TdF?

Could be previous events?

 

I haven't had the time to delve deeper into how much content is on there though to be fair, as to whether they could cover this statement under that.

THe historical sporting coverage would be irrelevant as all the sporting content will end up behind the Discovery + Premium tier. Therefore any advertising stating that all sky customers would get access to that content could be considered misleading as it isn't available on the Discovery + Basic tier, which is the tier "included for free" as part of a Sky subscription.

Apparently Virgin are allowing their customers a free upgrade to TNT Sport until their contracts end...

No I'm afraid it doesn't depend if you signed up to anything.

 

If it is deemed unfair to the consumer by ASA/Court/Ombudmans those small print words will mean very little all of a sudden.

 

It is advertising 300 days of cycling so a consumer would naturally assume they are getting 300 days of cycling.

 

You know last year I was told continually by a insurance company they did everything correctly to their terms and conditions. Role on 6 months later the Financial Ombudsman awards £3000 to myself.

Note that the story (rather than the headline) actually says ' selected Virgin Media customers who regularly watch Eurosport ', which implies it's very far from being the whole customer base.

Maybe the Virgin Customers with less than 2 months left hence selected @FastEddie1
