Excellent news! Means I don't have to think about taking out a separate subscription now for Eurosport - I had been considering whether to sign-up for the current 12 month offer for Discovery Plus.
@andydenyer I see from your post on another forum that you’ve just taken the Big Sport package on a 24 month contract. Did you receive confirmation that the Eurosport channels are on a long term deal? You also stated that you got the HD boost/add on for no additional cost. Did you have to ask for that or was it offered to you?
@NeilOwrote:Hi Everyone,
We were due to remove Eurosport from some of our legacy packages, and from new sales of VIP / Big Sport from 17/1/22.
The great news is that we've signed a new deal with Discovery (who own Eurosport) and this means we're going to keep supplying Eurosport on current eligible packages.
Thanks
Neil
@NeilO Can you please clarify? Is this new deal taking BT’s offering past the June 21 removal @DarrenDev mentioned earlier?

Thank you.

@Brucemeister5I haven't 'just' take it out - I've actually had it for a while now, and was previously getting Eurosport via one of the legacy TV packages and just accepted that I wouldn't be able to access it any longer without getting it via another means. But then Eurosport was added to the Big Sport package not long after I signed up for it, so for me that was a pleasant bonus. I've had no confirmation or guarantee that the Eurosport channels are on a long term deal - I guess I will just have to wait and see.
In terms of the cost, I took out the package when BT was offering it for £35 a month (instead of the usual £40 a month) for the full 24 month term. So, in effect, that paid for the HD boost which I added on for £5 a month.
In the past, though, I have asked what deals can be offered and have had things like BT Sport and/or HD boosts added at no extra cost as part of a deal (and then had to challenge bills when I've then been charged extra for them erroneously!). Hope that helps!
@DarrenDevhe might of updated the website but it's still wrong, TLC and discovery are still being broadcast

@MJS1 I've asked for it to be updated - it hasn't actually been updated yet
@DarrenDev are they also staying our is it just Eurosport that's been resigned?
