Discovery+ App

[gibbylinks]

Will the Discovery+ App be coming onto the BT Youview boxes. I have a Mini box as well and can't get the app on that TV. I was hoping it would be added to the box.

Thanks

Nothing has been announced yet but it should be coming soon but it could only come to non retail boxes as the Youview retail platform is effectively dead.. So Pro Box and mini boxes supplied by BT I'd imagine.

I’m hoping it’s imminent as BT have updated their FAQs on their website:

“discovery+ is not yet available to watch on all our BT TV boxes. It is available on the TV Box Pro and TV Box Mini. If you're not sure which TV Box you have, you can find out here.”

That's an interesting development @mikealanr . Judging by that, it could be imminent.

The relatively inexpensive alternative is to use a Chromecast or Firestick dongle.

@gomezz I get that but it is not as convenient and it would be good to have this feature sooner rather than later.

Not on my Box Pro - any updates @DarrenDev ?

Someone has pushed the button too soon. The app won't be available on any BT TV boxes before TNT Sports launch on July 18th (and there's no guarantee it'll even be available on that date - it isn't signed off for release yet).

Update: I'm told the error had already been spotted, and the page will be corrected on Monday

Looks like Amazon Firestick on Primeday, ah well.

Unless you can hold off till a week on Tuesday
