Discovery Channel via EPG

[wesackerman]

Hi Guys, just got a new EE box Pro and BT Big Sport Package (you get Discovery with this)

All TNT and Sky Sports channels are working on the box. I've activated Now TV and Discovery +

The one channel I can't get on the box is Discovery 320 (SD) / 325 (HD). I can get this channel through the Discovery app on the  box, but would be nicer if worked via the EPG. 

The channel says "You need to set up Discovery or add it to your TV package"

Any ideas if it's possible to get through the EPG?

Thanks

Hi @wesackerman  Big Sport does not include Discovery channel , you can access via the discovery + app but not as a recordable linear channel from the EPG. It is/was included  in EETV entertainment / big entertainment/full works TV packs.

 The EETV logic is that is an entertainment channel rather than a sports channel.

When WBD and BT  formed their joint venture on sports rights ,  Entertainment packs were given Discovery Linear channel and Sports packs were given the now closed EuroSport 1&2 channels as extra EPG channels.
