I am prsuming Max will have to start [In the U.K. and Ireland before the start of the 2025 Winter Olympics?

[theredhouse55555]

Just to check. Is the red button service that is available on Sky + H.D. boxrs also avaliable on Sky Q?

If you mean the BBC 'Ceefax/Teletext' service, then no.

Blimmin nuisance. Quite apart from the snooker and TDF, most of my viewing is of winter sports. I'll greatly miss all that. Just pushing me to other sources of broadcast, good luck to em if it helps them survive a bit longer.

@theredhouse55555 Max launches in 2026 in the UK and ROI as that is when their current deal with Sky expires and the new agreement between Sky and WDB kicks in.

To be honest I would not put any of Eurosport*s contect on the 4 T.N.T. sports channels [and I type this as a winter sport and Cycling fan.] By that I mean the sports rights on T.N.T. are so much stronger then Eurosport.

---

Not sure why they would @theredhouse55555 they do have 6 digital channels TNT sports 5 -10 via the red button 

Like I mentioned in my previous post 18 football matches were played and not one needed to be viewed via the red button

They don't have but I think it's a strong possibility if they plan to make it available on all 3 MAX entertainment tiers outside the Sport plan.

They may well use streams within the app for the additional content too. Similar to how they delivered so much additional Olympics coverage.

[theredhouse55555]

Just to correct my post. The Winter olympics will be of course in 2026 in the resort of Milano Cortina,Italy I beleve Max will start the week before that and will include SKY/H.B.O content as well.

I understand the £30 per month T.N.T Sports service will ONLY be avalable on the Discovery and T.N.T.  app via Net Tablet and Smart T.V. Amazon Prime Video will only have the Discovery + basic tier at a reduced price from £ 6.99p a month to £ 3.99 p a month with ads.

TNT Sports  is still available to subscribe to on Discovery+ via Prime Video channels until next year since Max is available via Prime Video channels in several countries I'd expect it to replace it

TNT Sports app isn't used for Live streaming

I would think that's unlikely. 

[TimmyBGood]

@69kev 

Which other companies are doing so?

I'll definitely wait and sign up separately for MAX and pay for the ad-free version as Max with ads rolls in
