@Wanya039 one of the Devs has mentioned on here before that the Discovery+ app for BT Sport customers will be some time in the New Year as Discovery are integrating BT Sport into the Discovery+ app in the same way Eurosport is.
Discovery+ direct subscribers will then have the option of Entertainment only or Entertainment+ Sports
I hope the BT version is not blocked in any way.
Direct Discovery+ subscribers to 'Entertainment +Sport' have the sport section blocked out when the app is used on Sky kit.

But still I pay for entertainment add on and discovery is not available only offering vip upgrade
The JV is with bt sport and Warner/Discovery not NOW TV just seems a bit strange that as a loyal
bt costumer paying
big sport package/now entertainment/HD add on doesn’t gain access = £56.99
but a entertainment package alone £6 gains you access to discovery and this is a package that has nothing to do with bt sport
@GarryJ We have the same, Entertainment with BT Sport & HD/UHD as add-ons. Discovery & Discovery HD are both working fine on our Pro tv box. I’ve recorded a programme already this morning and it played back fine. Eurosport & Eurosport HD have both been recordable for a couple of weeks now too.
I’m in the same position as Wanya039 (Big Sport plus Entertainment add on) and completely agree - it seems ridiculous that we don’t get access to this. It would seem that you can’t have all sport and entertainment options with Discovery without having to pay for Sky Cinema through the VIP package. I seriously hope that someone from BT can confirm that Big Sport subscribers are going to have access to the linear channel shortly (as launched today) when Discovery + launches.
Might as well put my opinion in. I would have liked the option of having the Discovery channel and its sister channels as an additional add-on. For example an extra £5.00 a month and you get them all.
I do like Eurosport in the winter for the skiing but I'm not subscribing to BT Sport just for that.
I currently subscribe to Entertainment only and can confirm the Discovery channel is there and working
Just seen on bt website entertainment deal is now over and now charging costumers £18
and all other packages have added £1 to the deals including big sport that doesn’t seem to include Discovery https://www.bt.com/tv/add
Yeah, Eurosport been working for a few weeks, just tried the discovery channel again, same message, need to upgrade your package, then gives you details of the VIP pack, did check for updates on the pro box, but said all updated. We have BT Sport as our main pack with entertainment and HD as add-ons, not sure if that would make a difference as the eurosport channels are working fine.
@GarryJ If BT Sport is your main pack then I think that explains why you’re not getting access to Discovery at the moment. We have Entertainment as our main pack with BT Sport as an add-on.
I suspect @GarryJ it is because your addon is considered to be a ”Now Entertainment Membership” .So it’s that content (ie Now entertainment channels) that you are adding to your base TV pack.
