If that’s true that’s mental for a Europe-wide channel.
I guess it’s because of other channels having local programmes.

I think we can discern that his statement directly implied he doesn’t.

It could be a form of protest at your predicament.

Then we stand shoulder to shoulder in the face of it.

I remember when they were ScreenSport. Swings and roundabouts, I guess…

I just paid the fifty quid to renew Discovery+ for the year.
Don't take it away now.

Made me think whats the point of having any package if you can't watache it anyway.

My Eurosport subscription automatically renewed and it still seems to be working. I'll find out for sure tomorrow though if it will allow me to watch the World championship qualifiers.

The Eurosport channel on Sky looked initially liked it was removed but fortunately it's still on there.

A Discovery + icon has appeared in the media section of my PS4 menu. Must be a pretty recent addition to the PS4 app library. This solves my problem of watching it through Amazon Prime and its labyrinth of menus - assuming the UI is in a more native form and easier to navigate. I’ll sign up soon and find out.
Could be helpful for anyone in a similar boat, so thought I’d make a note here

Yeah, watching it on Prime sucks.

Just checked my Annual Discovery Plus renewal and it is renewing on Jan 13 for 1 month at 6.99. It isn't possible to renew for 12 months at 59.99.

Oh really.
Might have to check that. My renews in February, I think.
If you have to renew it every month, that might dissuade me for paying for it, for months when nothing is on.

That's what I've started doing. I'm not sure if I'll even renew it until next season now, most of the tournaments left are on ITV or BBC.

Not an option when you're not in the UK unfortunately. I'll leave mine going until May.
I do wonder if they're gearing up for a price increase next year, that's why they don't want people to lock in the current price for another year.

I do like Discovery+, but there are months when it's not worth having.

Oh I remember from when I used to live in Aus a few years back. I think the only legal way to get it back then was through Foxtel. Had to resort to dodgy streams and VPNs. Its good you can get disco+ there now.
