Streaming Cycling in UK - Discovery+ prices!

[Blazing Saddles]

Yesterday, I couldn’t access any live feeds on Tiz with a Firestick or PC.
Straight into Cholet coverage with my phone.
So phones do seem to have less issues

 

[Pblakeney]

Yes.
I think it’s on in Basque with EiTB and E3 Sports. They should work ok with your VPN.
Tele deportes also has it, but they could be trickier.
Cycling fans live coverage is usually a good place to look for links.

Cheers!

Same here too but the bizarre thing is that I can then watch the full race a few hours (or the day after) on both the firestick and PC. I knew I wouldn't be able to see the Cholet until today so just avoided the result (not to hard to do) and watched the full race as I did some work at home

Somewhat peed off, Cancelled my Disco+ last month and was enticed by the 50% offer so signed up for the "season" only to find ads.

I had no ads at £6 a month but now ads at £15. Not happy.

Hmm, so much for my plan for 2 or 3 months of TNT binge-watching per season!

PS...

All discovery+ plans have the following:

• The same great unlimited discovery+ entertainment content
• A limited number of ads in on-demand content (ads already appear on the live channels)
• 4K UHD for select shows and movies (not including live content) on devices that support 4K UHD

@Domus - are you seeing many ads in on-demand content? (That's how I would binge-watch.)

 

[OldShep]

For cycling If right feed is chosen then we see no ads. A couple of times the OH has chosen the wrong feed and you will get ads.
Feed without ads the dog is purely TNT
Feed with ads dog will be TNT #
We watched the ladies football last night which had ads, for cycling and other sports, at half time

 

[Domus]

Just watched a couple of hours of Panne and Catalunya on TNT. No ads.

Top tip from OldShep.

I'm watching normally on catch up via Firestick app. (I took the 7 month £15+ option as I'm still in recovery mode from serious medical issue so...) Usually see 2 options to click, one with an image from race type snapshot, one without, usually get it right for no ads. If wrong, swear and go to the other one and FF.

Top left on screen I've clocked TNT Sports logo and also with a channel number, latter has the ads?

That is my understanding

 

[orraloon]

Why did I type the top left when the logo is top right? Anyways...

My EE contract offers me Inclusive Extras - one of which is TNT. I find it hard to believe it is the full thing, but it seems to say it is. Not sure if anyone else has this, but might be worth looking into.

It’s been discussed over in BR.
Apparently it is the full package and it’s for the full 2 year contract term.
So it’s worth up to £480. Quite the deal.

Yes, but this isn't a new deal or anything. This is simply - hey PurplePenguin would you like Apple music, TNT or free roaming on your work mobile? At the moment, I have free roaming because I already have TNT, but it seems like a pretty good deal.

 

[CarbonClem]

I posted previously, I renewed my phone contract with EE and got the TNT add on. The deal which is under £40 a month gives me unlimited everything, data gifting, free roaming, watch data and, yeah, TNT. Seems decent to me.

That wouldn't be a good deal for me if I just replaced my mobile contract because I currently only spend £6/month on that.

But... I pay £28/month for slowish ADSL broadband at 5 Mb/s so switching to an EE mobile deal only could be viable!

I would feel a bit vulnerable though without a backup broadband connection. If something happened to my phone or the local mobile signal I wouldn't have a way of finding out what was going on or doing anything about it. I also don't know what EE reception is like round here.

A reluctant *no thanks* from me.
