What package do you need for Full HD/UHD via Discovery plus app?

Hi there, can someone confirm what package is required to receive 1080p/UHD on discovery plus for the TNT sports channels. Steams on MotoGP currently don't even look 720p, extremely heavy blocking and blur.

Device is an LG C5 TV with discovery plus app

Full fibre 900 that is connected to tv via Ethernet

I have the basic, £22 sport package, no upgrades, no TV package, but on the bill, it says:

"Your benefits
Watch TNT Sports in 4K HDR
quality on the discovery+ app."

I can't see any settings for quality in the discovery plus app and other UHD, HDR services such as Prime Video, iPlayer, Netflix and YouTube work great.

What am I missing?

As an example if you tune in to today's Liverpool v Everton match where it says watch live just scroll underneath and there's a list of other live events..Liverpool v Everton in UHD will be there. Look for the UHD sign in the top corner.

Sadly the UHD quality has deteriorated since TNT took over from BT sports .

Enjoy

@djenson2000 I don’t believe discovery+ subscriptions distinguish between the quality that the app streams at . Only relatively few programmes are available in UHD and as @Kodikid mentioned they would normally appear with UHD displayed on the programme tile in top left hand corner..

If you use the search within the app for the string UHD you should see a selection of past programmes that are available on demand in UHD.

Typically discovery+ will provide a second stream for UHD coverage for events so that if you want to watch in UHD you have to select that stream rather than the normal stream that maxes out at HD. So for today’s premier league coverage there will be two tiles available and you must select the UHD one to get the UHD coverage.
