According to a previous post, Discovery channel is replacing BoxNation in early November.

No official announcement has been made regarding any other channels or the app. As ever, we'll have to wait for an update.

Any ideas if BT will provide the discovery channel at no extra cost or just for people with sports subs.

Discovery and Eurosport are part of Sky’s basic package or at least it was when I was last with them and no need for a sports sub.

Just you would have thought the discovery channel could be included with BT TV for free. Seems a little over the top to subscribe to sport for it and a little cheeky to add it as a bolt on when Sky provide it with their basic package and BT and discovery have a deal together.

Thanks

Nobody will know until the full details are announced, there was reports that eurosport has appeared for some people on the tv boxes early but other than that the full details will be announced when ready

Eurosport App ? The tv channels have been there for a while with the big sport.

@jas20001978

I'm getting Eurosport 1 & 2 HD since yesterday and I'm only on the basic sports package (BT Sport channels only).

I think everything in the Eurosport app is available in the full Discovery+ Sport app.

Discovery and Discovery just added to EPG with a Coming soon note. The channel numbers are 324 & 325.

Great news although BT needs to improve on their announcements. It is really the only disappointment for me about their service.

Due to the partnership I wonder if we will get the full suite of Discovery channels and not just the main ones.

Good improvements but there is always room for more!

Looks as though it will be available from this Friday as the ‘coming soon’ message gives way to full programme listings after midnight on Thursday.

They won't as why would they want to give their competitors a heads up on anything?

Don't quite agree with this when Sky and Virign do.

If anything it would appeal to new customers.

As much as I like BT TV, they are not in the same league as Sky.

Nah they just are bad. Think most of BTs competitors are already ahead of them. Discovery Plus only came out in January of 2021.

BT customers getting sometime soon. There’s only Paramount, Apple TV, Lionsgate, Disney and YouTube to go.

Zzzzz

The price is cheaper so at the end of the day it's a budget choice.

I've tightened my belt so BT TV is the way to go for now

320 and 325 here.

Talking about tightening of the belt. Will Discovery Plus be free for BT Sports subscribers.

If so a few pounds can be gained there.
