TNT/Discovery+

I have just subscribed to TNT and just have a quick question. 

As I subscribe to them do I also get access to Discovery+ and if I do, how do I log in? 

TIA

    No. Discovery + carries TNT content, but is not part of your subscription. You would have to subscribe separately to this & view it on another device, as there is currently no agreement between VM & Warner Discovery to install the app on Virgin boxes.

  • No. Unlike other ways to subscribe to TNT Sports, Virgin Media subscriptions do not include Discovery+.

    Virgin Media doesn't even carry Discovery+.

    A mitigating factor is that it is generally cheaper via Virgin Media, except for some special offers via EE.

    The Discovery+ app is available on a number of devices including Fire TV Stick and Roku.

    Although you don't have Discovery plus, you can watch TNT shows on catch up for the last week by clicking on the show in the program guide, if that makes sense

      You can watch some but not all programmes that way. For example one category that doesn't ever seem to appear that way is their Premier League coverage, which has to be one of the most popular of their programmes. Last Sunday's match between Man Utd and Aston Villa is typical in that it doesn't seem to be available on Virgin Media catch up, but is available via Discovery+ in both HD and UHD versions.

        The match between Man Utd and Aston Villa was broadcast live by TNT Sports but is not available on the TNT Sports Catch-Up (but is from discovery+). This situation is quite common and due to agreements between content owners and broadcasters, and in this case I'm sure it's because Warner Bros. Discovery has all TNT Sports catch-up going through discovery+ but limits what is available from VM's Catch-Up.

        However Man Utd fans can still get the Catch-Up of the Europa League final against Tottenham.
