Mimmo 1,070 Posted October 9, 2021 I've been into a company named Hughes Electrical today with my nephew, and it seems that Samsung TV's have a Discovery+service App plus Eurosport, then as you probably know, you click that, register and pay the £59.99. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would consider subscribing, but, if unable to fast forward, not prepared to sit through pre match previews, and gaps between races. It's on the Sky platform though, and is currently free for 12 months for Sky Q users. It's just under the Apps menu instead of the TV guide menu. As with any streaming service, like Amazon does with the live Tennis or PL football you'l be able to choose to 'Watch from the start' even if the event started an hour ago or is finished, which will enable you to fast forward to the heats etc. No longer will there be any hassle with having to remember to record it or put it on series link. As in the past the Series link and overrunning Recordings have been hit and miss with BT and Eurosport British Eurosport TV and/or Quest (on freeview) will probably only show the Cardiff GP live, as was mentioned with the local events getting free to air coverage.

Don't use Sky Q though. Still using Sky+ . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the same boat, i've got sky Q but ain't bothered with Discovery + as yet, dunno if it's simple to sign up for or not and also not sure if their 12 month free trial starts from when you sign up for it or is it 12 months from when Discovery + was launched.

If you are just watching speedway it's cheaper to do the monthly subscription for 6.99 a month. If you subscribe each time on the day of the Grand Prix and then cancel you can get 6 monthly subscriptions for 41.94. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's a serious question, and one that will affect me if you can't, as families want to sit and watch it together in their living room, not individually on mobile devices. Thank you, if anybody can provide the answer. As someone who is 68 (fast approaching 69) I guess I can be classified as “an older person”, although not living in the UK……but I’m not really sure what difference that makes? I have downloaded the Discovery+ app, and got an annual subscription for a very competitive 29€. Downloaded the app direct from Google Play Store to my Nvidia Shield, and by using StreamLocater I can acces the UK version from here in Spain! It wasn’t that much of a challenge even someone like myself, who apparently has to be patronised because it is assumed that anyone who isn’t in the first flush of youth is unable to cope with modern technology! We are now in 2021, and just as we challenge racist & sexist comments, so we MUST do the same with “ageism”! I’m sure there are thousands of older people who don’t have access to or understand modern technology. However I am equally aware of those much younger who are similarly technologically challenged! So how about rewriting the comment to: “Does anybody know, if the thousands of people in the UK, that don't have access to phone etc, or understand modern technology, can purchase……” it doesn’t need to be made an age thing!
