Thanks for this, I have done the same and got a code via live chat.  I was told the offer expires 28th March so will activate on 27th March.

Just got my promo code too and was told the above. My subscription renews on the 3rd of the month but the agent couldn't say if I activated on 27th, whether March would count as month 1 or whether month 1 would start on 27th or on 3rd April.

Anyone got any ideas before I go back on the chat to see if I can get some clarification.

That defeats the object of "Live" sport though doesn't it.

No; it isn't 'live', the programmes are recorded and transmitted at midnight, when I for one am asleep.

Watched a podcast with Keith Huewen last night on YouTube, he talks about sky BT Eurosport and TNT and their coverage of moto GP superbikes etc, interesting listening to not only his corncerns about the coverage of bike racing but also about the sport itself in the uk, he could of just been talking about British speedway, seems speedway is not alone in its struggles, speedway gets a mention a couple of times, it’s 2.30 hours long but an entertaining interview

This might be of interest, Keith Huewen on the Speed Freaks Chat Show with Scott Nicholls and Steve Brandon.

Thanks for that GM. I didn’t have the offer but just went on their live chat and asked for it and they’ve given it to me 👍🏻 7 months so takes me right through the Speedway season. Added bonus of watching some live Footie for the last few months of the season. 

Welcome - I am going to activate mine in April as my offer is good until 30th that way if the playoffs get rain delayed at all I have Oct covered

I too am now a proud owner of a Code that must be activated by 28th March, so I will be OK up to 28th October.

Thanks to the General, and others for their help! 😁

Will the British GPs be live on a free to air channel(freeview), like has been the norm for the host country? If so it would be the first time a British speedway meeting has been broadcast live on terrestrial TV in a long time.

As I get discovery+ free with my Sky subscription presumably this code business doesn't affect me?

You'll only get the basic plan with Sky (no TNT).  If you want TNT then you'll need to pay for premium plan.

So, with the basic plan will I still be able to watch live premiership meetings?  If so, why would I need TNT?

You'll need premium plan.  This will help explain - discovery+ plans and prices

With the tnt plan on Discovery,, can it be cancelled anytime like it could on the 6.99 plan I had for some of last year? As soon as. Moto gp finishes I will cancel if so. I shall try and get the cheaper deal also

On Sky it's a 31-day rolling contract, cancel anytime, 31 days notice...
