TNT Sports Olympics 1 and 2 are now live on VMs networks.
These channels are available to ALL TV customers, whether you subscribe to TNT Sports or not.
TNT Sports Olympics 1 is on channels 140 and 527.
TNT Sports Olympics 2 is on channels 141 and 528.
But they are not viewable on TVGO? They are listed in TVGO but when you try to view them you get "This channel does not support streaming to this device. However, you may be able to watch it on your Virgin TV box."
I do subscribe to TNT and all the other TNT channels work in TVGO but not the TNT Olympic channels, why not?
It's likely to be rights related. These two pop-up channels are exclusive to VM UK, with all other TV platforms only able to offer the same content via a Discovery+ Entertainment subscription. There is no way VM can confine TV Go operation to the just the address where the account is held. If this is a condition of these channels being provided, then they won't be offered on TV Go.
Just to be a pedant [!] the channels are also on EE TV boxes, and they are also on their equivalent app [as are TNT Sports 5 to 8].
Looking at their app, the second channel which doesn't have anything on it as I write shows a Eurosport logo on start-up which is a blast from the past.
I do love a bit of Curling!
Not "ALL TV customers". You need a package that includes Discovery, which the standard Flex package and the odd legacy package doesn't. It means that TNT Sports subscribers do not get the channel unless they also have a package that includes Discovery.
These two broadcast channels appear to be derived from content on the existing TNT Sports channels & Red Button streams (currently carrying content from TNT Sports 7 & 2, but without the RB stream idents). All TNT Sports subscribers will still be able to see them anyway, as the Red Button streams are linked directly to the TNT channel subscriptions.
chat not opening I can not create new topic, phone support ist just a joke and I will be senditn tahta on chats so maybe VM fineli do things right!!!
