Tnt Sports 2 showing up on now tv app guide

[johnbhoy1979]

Hi

I see this morning when i open the now tv app they have implemented tnt sports into the guide for the commonwealth games 

Surely this should be standard for full works customers seeing as they can do it with one channel surely they can do it with all?

Would be much better than switching between apps to watch sports.

Is there any appetite to do this in the future seeing as they obviously can do it if needed.

Some TNT Sports content is opened up to all HBO Max customers, regardless of subscription - i.e. even if they don't have a TNT Sports subscription.  When this happens, it's also made available in the Now TV app for those with the Entertainment with HBO Max subscription (this saves all Now TV subscribers needing to contact the Now TV helpdesk to activate an HBO Max account).

The Now TV app doesn't have a view of HBO Max subscription levels, so it couldn't routinely open it up for TNT Sports as it has no way to check the entitlement.

"Full works" is an EE TV subscription level, which incorporates content from different providers - each provider only knows the subscription for their content, so wouldn't know about the "Full Works" status from EE.

I think that if have been sensible if the NOW TNT SPORTS 2 channel had been renamed TNT Sports Commonwealth Games  or TNT Sports Glasgow 2026 or similar,

Previously TNT Sports have established separate popup channels (as was the case with the Milano Cortina olympics earlier this year). So effectively you had the Sports subscription channel and the more widely available channel that was effectively included for non Sports subscription. 

There has always been some TNT Sports content normally documentary nonlive  programmes  available on the HBO Max Max and as such would be available in their portal. 

Unfortunately the scaled down Glasgow 2026 , the various withdrawals of several star names  and the apparent  lack of UHD content in my view means it is more a celebration of the Commonweath rather than a major sports festival.
