Streaming Cycling in UK - Discovery+ prices!

[katiewlx]

From the end of march sky tv customers can get disney , netflix and hbo plus for £6 (?) a month
from what i have read tnt sports will move to hbo max at that time for the normal sub of £31 still so if your a sky tv customer hopefully you might get cycling back.
I currently have a basic package plus disney as a separate sub so im actually saving £10 a month and gaining the extra services .

nono Discovery+ the streaming service attached to TNT sports, is moving to the HBO Max streaming service. TNT sports is staying exactly where it is and carrying on doing the exact same things (btw Discovery & HBO are both owned by Warner anyway...or should we say Paramount now).

anyway additionaly Sky customers are getting access to the HBO Max "streaming service", I put it in airquotes because its not clear still yet whether an HBO Max channel might still pop up on Skys satellite service to replace Sky Atlantic (where most HBO shows get shown anyway) for their drama content, or if its purely a streaming service, its complicated because Sky are moving more towards a permanent streaming service themselves with Sky glass and so on, but they are nowhere near the kind of adoption levels yet to force that kind of change and might well offer some kind of channel on satellite to keep everyone happy in the interim.

regardless all that changes in a couple of weeks is instead of the commentators going and you can now carry on watching this on Discovery+, theyll be saying and you can carry on watching this on HBO Max.

SBS is working really well for me.

I have a 300 Mb/s full fibre local broadband connection, but obviously I am not actually getting that connection speed from Australia. I just checked the speed though and am surprised that I am still getting close to 200 Mb/s from NordVPN - that is pretty impressive!

The significance of the high-speed connection is that I get full picture quality and no noticeable picture buffering, which means I can repeatedly tap the +10 seconds icon** to quickly step through the coverage to find interesting action or commentary; effectively I create my own highlights. I took only about one third of the time to watch today's Paris-Nice stage. Unfortunately, (for obvious reasons) the icon doesn't work during the commercial breaks!

my mistake, but its worthy repeat as I still see so many people saying it, and even the cycling press still repeating the same thing, that its been sold to HBO Max, and this is a brand new provider, and getting terribly excised about the whole thing and ads and subscriptions, and its just like no its really just WBD shuffling brands around for reasons best known to themselves, Im not saying its a smart move for marketing reasons alone as it does confuse the consumer, it just it fits with their whole entertainment brand step they want to be taking next.
