Discovery+service

[Mimmo 1,070]

I wanted to watch the Belle Vue v Ipswich meeting on my Discovery+ App last night, but it kept freezing so it wasn't at all enjoyable.  I only recently decided to switch to this service, and have paid an annual subscription, but am disappointed and won't renew, as I never had any problems with freezing and such like when I watched Eurosport through my BT package.

I have Discovery+ and get no problems when the match is on.  I am with BT as broadband supplier and I pay for fast fibre (150 MB/s).  How fast is your broadband speed? Have you changed your Broadband supplier? and maybe speed has changed if you decided to save costs
Thing I don’t get on with Discovery+ Is finding the speedway program. Getting the hang of it then I loose it all and have to search again. So far that has not affected viewing, just miss a bit of chat.

No issues for me either, ever. I've only got a 50mb Virgin Media connection

No issues for me through Discovery+ either.

Well they have repeated it in a double page spread in this week's Speedway Star.  All GPs will be live on Eurosport 2

Didn't mention SoN though

Speedway is not available on Discovery+ via SkyQ box. Only available on App by subscription.

I think generally it's £60 a year, though if you get it at the right time of year, I got mine for £30. I think you may be able to get it for around £7 per month

I think it’s about £5.99 per month.  Discovery+ is available on SkyQ but not any Sport.  Have to us App on iPad or phone and you can “cast” it to  a smartTV.

Discovery Entertainment + Sport £5.99 per month or £59.99 per year. if you have an Amazon Fire Stick you can download it to that, saves having to cast from a phone.

Thanks everyone...so it looks like i have to pay for it, which is fair enough just didn't think i would have to!

Me too. It was during the Australian Open Tennis when they had that offer on so I signed up while I had the chance.
