Hi folks,
I'm a bit late to this thread so pardon if this has been mentioned here already but: is there a way for folks in the US to pay for a subscription for Discovery+ or Eurosport App and then use a VPN to stream? So far all payment methods with billing addresses from the US seem to get declined.
For example: is it possible to use a VPN to create an account on Discovery+ and then give someone in Europe my Discovery+ log in credentials so they can pay for a membership (and then Venmo that person to reimburse them for the membership fee)?
Any input would be much appreciated! After the GCN+ shut down I'm scrambling to find a way to watch races this season and I'd like to just have one subscription instead of 3 different ones totaling ~$500/year (NBC's Peacock, WBD's Max and Flobikes)

Who knows what will happen going forward, all I can say is I watched all the racing last year using Discovery Plus as it was free add on with Sky and found it no different than watching it with GCN+ previously, no adds and the same commentators and pre and post show.Hi guys wondering if anyone can help with Discovery+ subscription questions and to see if its worth my while.
I see that its still questionable whether we will be able to watch races ad-free like we did on GCN+. From the Womens Tour Down Under it sounds like it was ad-free. Is it clear on the app that there is an ad-free stream/does the commentators still mention that there is an ad break for TV viewers? Or is this likely to be on a race by race basis?
Secondly, from time to time I would switch on GCN+ and watch any random live road race that happened to be on. Is it still easy enough to do this on the Discovery+ app or do you have to do a bit digging ?
And lastly, is there still more races available on the app than there is broadcast on Eurosport? The reason I ask is that I have Eurosport through my TV sub, but willing to pay for Discovery+ if this gets me access to more races (particularly ad-free!)?
Cheers in advance
@DanielLloyd1 said:Hi everyone. I'm so sorry this video was out of date as soon as it was released. I decided we should still put it out because all of the course information was still relevant, and the majority of the riders too. Since the closure of GCN+, we lost our small team that was dedicated to racing coverage. It means we don't have the resource to re-film/edit things like this at the last moment, particularly ahead of a bank holiday Friday as we have in the UK tomorrow. Enjoy Sunday's races. Dan
My Eurosport subscription runs until July and is still working. I presume that after that I will have to switch to Discovery+?
What is REALLY annoying me is that the cast button has disappeared from the On Demand coverage that I am watching so I can't use the Chromecast dongle on my TV to watch in high quality. I can mirror a Chrome browser window over wifi but that produces a low quality and juddery picture.
The other new annoying problem is that the apps on my phone and tablet don't show the View More button to look back over older races. It DOES appear on the website. That means that I have to watch on my laptop but I want to be working on that while the cycling is on a different device.
Maybe in the future, yes, but for now I'd rather that my current Chromecast dongle continued to work with my Eurosport subscription since both have already been paid for and there is no good reason for them not to carry on working together!Maybe invest in full Chromecast device, plenty on eBay potentially cheap, on which you can install the Discovery+ app.
