BT sport app question

Anonymous — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 18:11:35 GMT

Evening all.

Question please?

If my TV went from my current Big Sport pack to the lowest with the ability to record (entertainment right?) Would I-as a Bt broadband fibre customer (70meg) be able to watch BT sport football matches on the app via my Xbox one?.

I hope that makes sense, thankyou.

If you want to lower your bills to a minimum but still keep access to BT Sport then you'd need the "Sport" subscription. The Entertainment pack doesn't include any access to sport on any platform.

Thanks for the reply

The BT website implies as a BT Broadband customer you get free access to the BT sport app?

Does clicking that link actually show the same information? Free BT Sport with broadband hasn't existed for many years. If it does, let me know the link and I'll get the page removed.

No. BT Sport is NOT free to BT Broadband customers. It’s a fairly common misconception and it hasn’t been for many years now. You’d need to have a BT Sport subscription, either as part of one of the tv packs or as an add- on.

The cheapest tv pack is not Entertainment which is now £18. It is Sport which now gets you BT Sport + Eurosport for £17.

The other alternative would be to pay for the BT Sport app separately which is what I did for many years.

That is a very old cached search engine result from years ago when BT Sport was a couple of channels and free with BT broadband, if you click the link it will take you to the latest page with the correct info.

Thankyou for the informative replies.

May I ask how much it is to get BT sport just on the app (on an Xbox one)

I believe the (outdated) info that @Anonymous posted is what a Google search returns rather than a current BT website returns so possibly Google is returning some historical info.

£17 per month as an addon to your BT TV package, which means you would have it on the TV box and can watch via the app on supported devices.

Thankyou.

So I can't just have it on the app right.

It's bundled with the TV box access?

BT Sport app separately is actually £16 per month, but would obviously come without the ability to record.

The app is £16 but as a BT TV customer having TV and standalone app isn't an option, the difference is only £1 per month though, as a TV addon it's a rolling 30 day term, the standalone app is 24 month minimum, it's worth the extra £1 to have the ability to cease it when not required and you can still watch on your TV box.

As a BT TV customer you can't have both though, see my reply for details.

I used to have the standalone BT Sport app and paid £15 for it up until April. However, we then got BTTV with the £6 Entertainment deal and have BT Sport as an add- on for £15 ( legacy price from when we took it). I think it’s much better with BTTV and certainly don’t regret it.

@Brucemeister5 yes but what I mean is @Anonymous can't have both BT TV and the standalone app.

Brucemeister5 — Sun, 13 Nov 2022 19:34:43 GMT

@-Richie- I appreciate that. I was just explaining that I used to have app only, but think that tv access is better as you then are then able to have the best of both worlds for just £1 more.

Final question please (you've all been most helpful).

Does the BT pro box still record without a subscription?

I would only require the Freeview channels to be recordable.

This would be the last question in order to assess my options.

Thanking you all.

Yes, as long as you're using the box with an aerial connected. Internet mode won't work without a subscription.
