@DJP3 TNT Sports is not included in the HBO Max Subscription, it is just moving onto the HBO Max app from the Discovery+ app

---

The price to have TNTs sports from HBO app directly is same price  as it was using discovery + app £31 for sport only £33 with entertainment. If you subscribe TNT sports though Sky you will get the sports service though the HBO max as well at no extra cost. However if you do not subscribe to TNT sports though Sky. For Sky Q customers the only HBO max  content you will get from Sky is the entertainment package and basic Disney plus  and it only  at no extra cost to exsisting customers that have Sky signature and probably the utilmate tv pack, if you don't have either of these in you package and for new customers after 26 March  Sky are charging  £24 a month for the ultimate pack.   to get the new services.

@DaveDrizen again this is not correct you are getting confused between the Stream product of Ultimate  which is effectively Netflix + Signature rather than the Ultimate add on on SKY Q the utimate add on, on Q only gives you access to netflix which is always listed in bills separately even when it has been bundled with Signature.

Ok point taken have however I would not call  ultimatel tv Sky streams  version of signature has it has quite a lot less channels than SkyQ signature its just sky steams more pricer  entertainment package

So I have a completely separate account with Netflix and pay my subscription direct to them and currently subscribe to Disney through Sky at a cost of £14.99. I have the Sky Signature package (not sure how long I have had that).  If I change to Sky Ultimate will I no longer have to pay the £14.99 to Sky for Disney and can I transfer my Netflix account over and stop my subscriptions to them?

@nickydwuk yes you will be able to do that, but Sky will be bundling both versions with Ads. So keep that in mind.

hi @nickydwuk 

If you are on SKY Q then taking out Ultimate is just Netflix on top of Signature which you can get now at a slight discount over paying direct to Netflix (I think £1 cheaper but I could be wrong)

You do not need to do anything at the moment with Disney+ - there  will be a migration process which will reduce your cost for Disney+ premium by the £5.99 for the Basic with Ads base that SKY customers will benefit from & you will just pay the uplift  to premium of £9

The exact process for the Disney+  migration is not fully known at this stage but, as I say, it should be automatic

@MarkGoldsmith I understand that but I got confused as you mentioned basic tier of TNT and I was just wondering if you will get everything the same, but on HBO Max rather than discovery plus

Thank you for providing great help as always 

---

Yes - the TNT content is staying the same it's just moving from one streaming app to another.

[nickydwuk]

Thank you. I am always wary about moving accounts across to different forums so glad all will be ok.

[Super+Anthony]

Thank you for clearing this up for me @MarkGoldsmith

@nickydwuk  You can have Netflix with sky instead of paying Netflix separately

@Terminator12345 

yes , you will get the app when it is launched - all apps on SKY products are controlled by SKY and you do not add them yourself

All but certain it will do. The only reason it isn't there already is that the service hasn't launched in the UK yet.

[Terminator12345]

Will i get an email regarding that i am eligible to sign in to the apps?

@K32 there will be no need to ring Sky.

Whether you get the standard with ads tier as a free extra with your Sky subscription will depend on which Sky TV package you have.

"Disney+ Standard with Ads will be included for new and existing Sky Ultimate TV and all Sky Q customers (except TV Essentials and Sky Basics). It's not included with any Sky+ packages"

When this deal goes live sometime in March, you will need to link your Sky and Disney + accounts together ( in a similar way its currently done for the included Netflix tier). There will almost certainly be detailed instructions published by Sky on their website with the steps on how to link/activate Disney + when its available.
