Discovery Channels on BT TV

[gareth_ezy]

Hello All!

I read today that viewers of the Discovery Channels on the Sky Platform including Discovery,Animal Planet, TLC, Eurosport etc are more than likely going to disapear.

Now before anyone says anything I am fully aware that Sky and BT are seperate companies but my question is have BT reached an agreement on price so are these channels on BT TV likely to disapear soon? Or are we safe on our platform? I am glad I left sky when I did about 4 months ago as I watch a LOT of the Discovery channels! Thanks to Eurosport I have been able to watch the Australian open! All for a fraction of the price of what Sky charge!

As far as I know BT have a long term contract with Discovery so no need to worry. It should see a few more customers migrate over to the BT platform. Hope BT can get customer services up to speed. As also being x Sky that is one area they beat BT by a long way.

Rumour is that BT have a long term contract that carries on for another 3 years

Hi.

Watching Discovery ID channel this evening a message scrolled across the screen saying that from February 1st we will no longer be able to watch Discovery Channels, I believe it to be something to do with Sky, will this effect the Discovery channels on BTTV?.

Thank You.

I'm waiting for the other discovery channels to appear on bttv such as discovery history, dmax, home & health and discovery shed. I wonder if three of these will appear from wednesday on the 3 available channels immediately after discovery turbo

• Victoemildrew The switch-off will affect Sky only. Discovery should be more precise with their on screen captions!

Thanks all! and @DazzaS83 i hope that these may also appear on the EPG soon, as I do miss these chaneels when I moved from Sky. Glad I left Sky when I did!

Sorry to break into someones thread, but I'm most likely going to move from Sky after watching my fortitude season 2 as we won't get Sky Atlantic.

Does Discovery channels on BT have subtitles?

I must admit i've been really enjoying this whole debacle on twitter/ facebook etc etc. 

Even if Sky spend all that money on their own Docs. (unlikely) there will be major fall out in the short term.

Thumbs up for BT and no I don't miss $ky, all these people are saying they only watch Discovery on their £40+ a month Sky... madness.

Somebody said on a different forumum they heard a whisper than nationall geographic will drop bt at end of contract cost of who owns them. Hope it's not true cos it is a better channel at times than the main discovery chanel
