TNT rip off

So I pay for HD, but since the change to TNT HD is only available to discovery+ customers.

moreover, according to the latest edit email all whom have sky sports have HD? Why do I pay extra?

in addition, the HD one gets on discovery+ is real HD, why am I getting an inferior HD product and being charged for the privilege?

    Oh and to get it they want another £30.99 a month… surely it’s a joke?

      As already said TNT Sports is available with Virgin for £10 a month or possibly less if you can negotiate a deal according to some reports. The £30.99 a month is direct with discovery+ for their premium plan which includes a few more features and TNT Sports but is £24 more than their standard plan.

      VM doesn't carry/transmit  an SD version of TNT Sports.

      TNT Sports HD 1-4 is available on channels 527 - 530, and TNT Sports Ultimate is available on channel 531.

      It's an additional £18 per month on all set top boxes, except for the Stream box where it's aavailable for an additional £10 per month.  The Stream boxes are one per household and can't be taken in conjunction with any other VM TV service. The Stream boxes don't have recording facilities.

  • TNT Soorts HD/UHD  is available to Virgin Media Customers on channels 527 - 531 but customers wanting these channels now have to pay extra for them where as previously they were included in the top tv package at no extra cost.
