WINTER OLYMPICS

[SaraBaggins]

I can't find anything in the app or website that lists the Sky Sports channels. Want to watch winter Olympics on TNT. Also can't see if I can for just one month. The bot has been no help.

Hi @SaraBaggins 

Do you have Discovery plus ?

If not, this page should help on activating it (and the basic pack (at no extra cost on Sky,) features the Winter Olympics.)

https://www.sky.com/watch/discovery-plus

The alternative is to ring Sky to add TNT Sports subscription for the month, and give the notice period immediately, but I would suggest try the Discovery plus first.

Also bare in mind, Tnt Sports are separate to Sky Sports, and not included with in Sky Sports.

Try the Discovery plus first.

Also in terms of linear broadcasting, TNT Sports 2 is the main one for the winter Olympics (and for the most part UHD channel)

The other tnt sports 1, 3, and 4 will also have some coverage, but at times, other sports will be broadcast on these. Tnt sports 4 look like the second best channel for Winter Olympics on tnt sports.

Thank you. That is really helpful. Appreciate you taking time out for me.

Thanks so much. Friend is over from the States and particularly wants to watch the ice skating on one evening.

As mentioned, the full coverage of the Winter Olympics is available on the Discovery+ Entertainment app, free to Sky customers. You do not need to subscribe to TNT Sports.

The Discovery + app  also has a Multiview option (showing four live events at once on screen, all switchable with sound and selectable to watch one event full screen).

Selected live and events and their full replays are available in UHD (HDR),  HDR10 if you have Sky Q and Dolby Vision if you have Sky Glass and Sky Stream (depending on your TV also being capable) along with Dolby Atmos sound.

You can find all the live and full replays within the app in the Winter Olympic section.

You can also watch the TNT Sports 2 channel for free within the app during the Winter Olympics.

On Sky boxes, go to Sports>Winter Olympics and the live rail will show all current and upcoming live events and launch into the Discovery+ app from the selection there.

Also on the lower rails, you will find the documentaries and full replays of events, that also launch into the app.

On Sky Glass and Stream you can add all the above to your playlist and set reminders on the live events.

The Discovery+ UHD feed seems to be upscaled to 4K. Can anyone confirm whether this is the same for the linear UHD channels?

[SaraBaggins]

Wow, thank you. Great information.  I will test it all when I get home.

Can't find any live UHD, just a few replays?
