Streaming Cycling in UK - Discovery+ prices!

🙄 Yes, tick the box, then up pops the usual eye/hearing test. Have you passed enough of them in the past that it might trust you a bit and not test you as often, perhaps?

I don't know, but that one certainly didn't pop up either the recognise characters or the "select all squares with ..." and quite a few do.

That one was just tick the box (as are quite a few for me, I had assumed that was the same for everybody)

According to this Netflix would end up with the sports rights for the UK (indeed everywhere apart from the US)

I have already had an email from Netflix regarding the takeover. Almost certainly the HBO streaming is going to end up under the same umbrella. So, if you subscribe to Netflix, expect a hefty rise in subs, soon.

They also mentioned HBO Max, which is where TNT Sports were destined. Remains to be seen as to whether it will be offered as a stand alone option.

I'm already considering a switch to Paramount. Probably time for new stuff anyway.
TNT? Whatever happens, if it cost more than £10/month I'll simply be giving it a miss. Maybe less.

Similar. I would consider a maximum of £10 per month, but no more. I watch quite a few films and series on Netflix and if the price shoots up to include other stuff, I'm not sure I would bother.

I have a piggyback Netflix account with my sister, which is cheaper than having my own separate account. I think if the Netflix price went up too much she would cancel hers, which would mean that I would have to pay the full price for mine. I would have to see how much that would be before deciding whether to continue with it.

Shame that everything stays US owned.
A good cost saving for me though.

I think that is a premature assumption.

TNT seems to be bundled in with my EE tv. For once it worked well being able to watch cycling, cricket and rugby, my main sport interest. I’ll not be paying for a Netflix subscription and would probably cancel the EE TV if TNT disappeared.

It makes it far easier to ignore special offers.
