Recording TNT sports

[Davequagg]

Hi,

I have a TNT sports subscription and Sky Q. I currently like to record premier league games and MotoGP to watch later on, generally the same day but later in the evening. 

I’d really like to cancel the Sky subscription as this is now costing over £50 per month but need to find a way to record TNT sports. 

I’ve tried using the Discovery plus app which is great for watching live streams but it doesn’t let you go back in the tv guide and watch the game or race once it’s finished, I’m restricted to the highlights. 

Does anyone know a way that I can continue to record content without having a Sky subscription? 

Thanks

Dave

If you're a BT/EE broadband customer you can subscribe to TNT Sports for £15pm, which will get you a recordable box. But it's a 2 year contract & will also renew you broadband for the same period.

I can’t get BT/EE unfortunately as I live on the Isle of Man

@Davequagg  I believe you should be able to get full MotoGP  races on the discovery+ app. 
You can also get the full match TNT sport premier league games although I think they are available for a shorter period typically until the next round of matches and there may be a restriction as to when they can be loaded for viewing. WBD discovery+ help desk should be able to advise in detail.

Note the discovery+ app can be quite challenging to find all the available content on some devices and often you get short highlights , long highlights and eventually full match replays.

It may be the version of the Discovery Plus app you are using but my experience is that it allows you to chase-play live coverage and catch up on previous coverage which you can find in a variety of ways including the Schedule tab if you know the day and time it was on.

I find that content, including live coverage becomes available on catch up very quickly within minutes of it being broadcast.

You can not actually record programs from Discovery Plus but if you have an activated account just go to the menu on the left of the screen, tap on the search bottom, search the program you want and it will come up and you can then watch it from the start. It’s just like recording. 🤞

I have been following this, as I have the same dilemma. I can't cancel Sky if my husband can't stream or record Moto GP. Discovery + is £30 with TNT Sports. Can it be downgraded to the basic package when the Moto GP season has finished?

hI @Silverdogsarah  , the original thread related to an IOM viewer.

In your case is your broadband currently either BT or EE broadband and is your TNT Sports / Discovery + billed via Sky direct or via BT ?

[Silverdogsarah]

Currently with Sky. I will be keeping it with Sky if I cancel the tv. I get Discovery with the Sky tv package at the moment, but if I cancel it, I'll have to set up a new account. I don't want TNT all year when the racing is only a few months.

So @Silverdogsarah  you are probably  looking for options to take discovery+ premium  on a monthly  contract.   TNT Sport is operated by WBD these days. WBD do have arrangements  with various  companies and platforms  so probably  best to shop around. If you have an EE mobile there is I think there is an option to have discounted rate, otherwise check Discovery + own site for any offers , you could also  consider Prime Video addon if you already  have Amazon prime account.
