Discovery+ will not be available on this device after 22 September

[DorsetMark]

I’ve got a Roku so I can still watch Discovery+.
I am coming up to contract renewal time though!

[DorsetMark]

Thank you @DarrenDev  for the information.

It’s just a shame that customers didn’t receive a prior warning and found out via the on-screen message.

[DarrenDev]

I think that the on screen message is the best way to tell customers - it's the only place that everyone will actually look.
It's just a shame that the support material wasn't made available first - i.e. the article on the discovery+ site, a post on the forums, and a briefing to the helpdesk.

Discovey+ web pages on supported devices now updated to say

EE TV (formerly BT TV) boxes
This includes EE TV Box Pro and EE TV Box Mini.
Note: Starting 22 September, YouView Humax C4/C5 boxes won't be supported. To keep streaming discovery+, switch to a supported device or, for more options, contact EE TV.

perhaps it it would be a good idea if a consistent and accurate name be adopted for the impacted boxes.

i presume C4/C5 should relate to the 

 DRT 2100 G4 You view TV Box or 

 DB-T 2200 Z4 You view TV Box and  DTR 4000 G5 YouView Set Top Box.

Think we can assume only the pro box (for now) will remain unscathed. 

[DarrenDev]

Thanks @zulu17 - we'll raise it with them.

@Kodikid it's our main TV box, and will be for a while - they'll need to continue supporting it for a long time to come.

(it's ironic that it took them longer to write the app for Humax boxes than the app actually lasted)

[Kodikid]

The same way Sky and Virgin supported their PVR'S. 

It could also be argued that EE regard the Apple box as the future and not the almost obsolete youview 

[zulu17]

Fortunately that original long development/deployment delay probably means that many discovery+ users with those boxes  will already have previously sought out alternative devices to watch it on.

2026 is shaping up to be a year of changes with WBD  stated intention to launch Max in the Uk early in the year and whatever happens with the Joint Venture between WBD and BT.

I am nervous that WBD Max if and when introduced will be a backward step in functionality for watching TNT Sport events on chase-play and catch up. For example, remember the bad old days of spoilering titles on the old BT Sport app?

I've been through the posts,i have the 2100 box,i received the message,it says upgrade to a EETV box.but i think i also noticed that to receive a new box,you have to have a current contract,i'm out of contract.That i guess means that i will not get a replavement box.The other thing that concerns me is this.Will my youview box cease to work completely or does it mean that only  discovery+ will stop working
