EE are providing BT broadband so you may get TNT as part of the package

It's an add on, TNT are not BT anymore,  Warner Discovery own it,

For anyone who has Sky and found them intransigent on this, I contacted Ofcom and didn't get anywhere, so contacted trading standards who said they couldn't act, but they do feel Skys pricing is unfair and advised taking it back to Ofcom, and if enough people complain they will have to act.  I have emailed them and waiting to hear back, but  perhaps others might like to do the same.   Power in numbers!

Out of interest what do you find unfair about sky’s pricing?

Are they charging significantly more for TNT sports than others?

just all go on British speedway network streaming great presentation by people who know speedway 

But at a similar monthly cost to the TNT deal* so not ideal for those who can't or won't pay that sort of money each month.

*You do of course get more meetings with BSN

Yes if you break it into a monthly cost, tend to agree, but full pass works out around £4.50 a meeting with 2/3 a week, so for less than a pint I can watch speedway. TNT are only contracted to show 18 meetings for the season

Nobody seems to have a clue what's going on at the moment, it would be nice to hear something from WBD about what is being covered where... before the season starts! The fans do seem to be at the very bottom of their lists though.

When I looked at it a BSN season pass equated to approx £30 per month if you count the season as 8 months.

At the time TNT were asking around the same monthly cost.

Obviously you get lots of speedway with BSN but other sports with TNT. 

I certainly wouldn't be paying £60 per month for both although it does appear that some have been successful at getting cheap deals for TNT

TNT are continuing to use Saint Media and have appointed a new OB provider for British Speedway coverage using a smaller truck but rather disappointingly press release confirms no UHD coverage we shall have to wait and see if they have cut down the amount of cameras I am slightly concerned depending on which truck they use for Speedway that they may only have 2VT positions so may not get as many replays and Slo Mo coverage
