I Fully Expect Discovery+ which hosts both TNT Sport and Eurosport via live streaming will be extra quick to increase Subscription pricing
As will TNT increase subs for Sky Subscribers via Streaming and Satellite both .
just another excuse to hike up Subscription Prices nothing more 🙄

Eurosport uk was not free for a long time so theres no comparion really, just went from under one umbrella to another.
What version of Eurosport was the one on analog sat in the 90s? When you had the ability to change the audio?

I thought they were canning Discovery + it how the article reads anyway.

Currently Eurosport is included in Sky TV and Virgin Media packages at no extra cost while the streaming platform Discovery+ is £6.99 a month.

Those options will cease to exist pushing fans to fork out another costly subscription.

Really pissed off about this, dam sure all the bike racing Eurosport did show will now be diluted.

I think when it says those options will cease, they just mean discovery+ wont be supplying eurosport anymore, it will still supply media programming.

Discovery Plus £30 a month for the good stuff

  • UFC, Boxing, MotoGP and other Motorsports, NBA, WNBA, Formula E, Cricket & more.

Ridiculous.
Much of the Eurosport 1 & 2 content will be available on TNT channels 1 - 4. Select Eurosport events will be available via discovery+ only.

Last season for example.

A few MotoGP rounds were discovery + only.

Can see a further diluted service now they have Eurosport content also.

Now i usually watch via a feed but if its a early am start time 1am 2am feeds are out of the question as im asleep lol. Reruns are usually just highlights.

You sure about it being on Hotbird?
Well there was 2 versions of Eurosport 30 years ago 13 east had French & English Audio & the version on Astra-1 @19.2 east had English & German Audio.
But when digital came along 13 east vanished & 19.2 east was only available in German 😖

This has really annoyed me. I love watching World Superbike and British Superbike, not to mention WEC/Le Mans on Eurosport.

Watching Toprak Razkatoglu slide and back-in his bike into a corner is breathtaking for a petrolhead like me.

Now I have to fork out £30+ per month to see all of the above....no thank you.
