Mimmo Posted October 8, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2021 I've just looked at my TV module, and I've never realised there was an Apps button. I've pressed it, but there is no mention of Discovery. There is also nowhere on the TV where I could plug a stick in, which I think is something somebody mentioned.

Plugging a stick in will require a HDMI port. How old is your telly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you rent your telly (is it from Hughes?) it might be worth finding out how much more it will cost to rent a smart tv instead as that will be the easiest way for you to receive Discovery+.

RS50 Posted October 9, 2021 Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 Can't help but wonder if Discovery will lose potential customers, by not having this on the Sky EPG. I would consider subscribing, but, if unable to fast forward, not prepared to sit through pre match previews, and gaps between races.

Did I read somewhere that eurosport would be airing highlighted programme? Might just go with that if I'm honest. On BT deal I'll get eurosport in the sports package (for hubby's football), seems crazy to subscribe another 6.99 to get eurosport again in discovery+. The other channels you get with it look pretty rank tbf. Before you suggest moving to sky, my son works for BT television so he gets me a decent deal, but it doesn't include discovery + Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mimmo Posted October 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2021 I've been into a company named Hughes Electrical today with my nephew, and it seems that Samsung TV's have a Discovery+service App plus Eurosport, then as you probably know, you click that, register and pay the £59.99. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's on the Sky platform though, and is currently free for 12 months for Sky Q users. It's just under the Apps menu instead of the TV guide menu. As with any streaming service, like Amazon does with the live Tennis or PL football you'l be able to choose to 'Watch from the start' even if the event started an hour ago or is finished, which will enable you to fast forward to the heats etc. No longer will there be any hassle with having to remember to record it or put it on series link. As in the past the Series link and overrunning Recordings have been hit and miss with BT and Eurosport British Eurosport TV and/or Quest (on freeview) will probably only show the Cardiff GP live, as was mentioned with the local events getting free to air coverage.

Don't use Sky Q though. Still using Sky+ . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat, i've got sky Q but ain't bothered with Discovery + as yet, dunno if it's simple to sign up for or not and also not sure if their 12 month free trial starts from when you sign up for it or is it 12 months from when Discovery + was launched.
