With the HBO Max UK launch details announced today, I’m wondering how this will work with existing accounts that have TNT Sports Ultimate as an inclusive extra add on.
Will we just get the entertainment content like the previous addition of DIscovery+ or will something more convoluted happen?
If I need to subscribe separately to watch The Pitt, so be it.

I found a solution to this (but only works if you are with Sky).
With my sky package I had HBO Max basic with ads, which I was able to add with the same log in email.
I then clicked on the package, and upgraded it to ultimate and all works good!
One email and HBO Max Ultimate with TNT Sport in one from EE!

Thanks @ildr that's really helpful! They didn't tell us this was going to be an option.

I too was pleased to see the option available, and will sort out a single login solution when the month I’ve committed to expires.
I think the issue @Antonis1 encountered is likely due to using an app rather than the website.
Below is a screenshot of me trying to add entertainment access via the iPad app.

Although I can't see the screenshot I can see on the website that let you choose a plan so you can combine them in the same account, also mine shows 2 subscriptions of the TNT sports in the same time one billing by EE and the other billing by Discovery+.
I had high hopes for WB to give us the basic plan for free at least :p.
I hope paramount is more generous ( I highly doubt it).

I currently have TNT Sports through EE. I successfully signed into HBO Max this morning using my Discovery+ credentials. I can view TNT Sports no problem.
The issue is, I have a separate subscription with NOW TV direct (using same email login as Discovery+) which includes the Entertainment pack and in turn now has HBO Max as well. I tried to link my NOW TV account to HBO Max but its getting an error saying 'there was a problem linking your bundle'. Is this because I've subscribed to TNT Sports via EE that's causing this error? Has anyone tried it in this situation and got it to work?

I also want to know. I have just logged into the hbo max app and I can watch TNT sports but I can't access TV shows and movies. Maybe because it's doesn't launch until Friday 27th?? If I only get tnt sports and no access to moves and TV on hbo max I may change my add on. Seems a shame we also don't get access to the TV and movies. As we could just pay for the top package to get sports and sports anyway

Had this gave EE broken contract told no changes now unable to access sports

Why are you not able to access Sports @Robuknow ?
Log into the HBO Max account with the same email address as the one used for discovery+ and your subscription should be there.
