TNT Sports Champions League. Red Button.

Anonymous — Wed, 02 Aug 2023 15:52:14 GMT

I was wondering if there was going to be a red button service on TNT SPORTS coverage of Champions League etc. And would there be a green button prompt for 4k UHD content. I used the old BT red button alot during CL Football .

This is an unfortunate casualty of the move to TNT Sports I'm afraid @Anonymous

Both the red and green button services were BT customisations, made possible because we controlled the channels and all the associated data.

Now that the channels have moved to TNT Sports, we're no longer able to offer those services. We're not aware of WBD currently having any plans to offer anything similar on the live channels - they do offer similar features within their discovery+ apps though.

It was said on the BT web page that we should be able to

“Flip between live games on the fly

“

Not really seen an option to do this so far. for example currently there are a couple of UEFA Champions league games showing live tonight but seems not possible to flip between the games without either changing channels on the TV Box or exiting the current match stream and navigating to the other match and activating a new stream on discovery +.

An update now discovery+ On the Roku has TNT sports I can see how to switch games on the fly on the Roku and also on Samsung Tv discovery+ apps

except The game that went to extra time ( and hence past its original scheduled end time ) is not offered as a game to switch too from the other two games. However if you watch that game you are offered the option to switch to both the other games.

I don’t see the option to switch games on the fly on the BT TV Pro discovery+.

Not sure what you mean by On The Fly. But this is on the TNT web site.

The on the fly statement was from BT when they notified me about TNT sports , it is also in use on various discovery+ websites promoting it as an available feature.

an observation in the TNT website you ( @Anonymous ) quote There is a contradiction as the section you highlighted it says you will have “six red button channels”. However in the narrative above it says you will have upto six digital or red button channels. So my interpretation based upon that narrative is that the TNT Sports 5 to 10 for example may be delivered as digital channel streams rather than as red button channels on some devices .

@zulu17 Yes I noticed that after I posted it. Wonder why we on BTPro boxes won't have red button functionality. It's a useful tool when several matches are on at the same time.

@zulu17 Good find that article.

Re: TNT Sports Champions League. Red Button.

DarrenDev — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 07:31:20 GMT

My guess is it was a global find and replace of "BT Sport" with "TNT Sports". I got the confirmation that it has been removed directly from the guy who manages it.
I'll double check with our WBD liaison that they're definitely not offering a replacement.

DarrenDev — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 09:26:47 GMT

Confirmed - find and replace error. The page will be removed ASAP.

Unfortunately you're talking to someone who probably just googled it. I've chased to see how quickly we can get that misleading article removed.

Re: TNT Sports Champions League. Red Button.

DarrenDev — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 13:26:16 GMT

The article has been removed, to prevent any further confusion.

I suspect this help article also needs attention

@zulu17 Yes it does, all very confusing, all misleading advertising.

Re: TNT Sports Champions League. Red Button.

DarrenDev — Mon, 14 Aug 2023 09:15:43 GMT

Same as before - just a find and replace error. It'll be removed ASAP. Ideally the whole site needs a review, but there are bigger things happening at the moment.

If it is any indication of what will be available I have just checked Moto3/Moto2 FP3 on Saturday morning which will be broadcast on TNT5 and that is showing up as an upcoming online stream on the Discovery+ app on my phone.

@gomezz Looking at the current schedule for Sat 19th at that time the main channel TNT Sport 2 has an episode of what I wore (Harry Kane) and MotoGP 2022 Austria highlights before switching to Live MotoGP programming for the 2023 event at 8:45am.

I think they adopted a similar strategy ie put the earlier lower classification Saturday Free Practice on the TNT sport 5 in the last MotoGp event.
