How do you get started?

This will launch a side panel, allowing EE customers to continue watching their match while exploring other courts and additional content available on discovery+.

Selecting any video within the panel will take you to the discovery+ app, where you can watch that video with an enhanced sport experience, as well as continue to browse all the additional content exclusive on discovery+.

I don’t have a discovery+ account, what should I do?

If you’ve opened discovery+ for the first-time or haven’t signed into the discovery+ app, you’ll be prompted to “Activate discovery+” or to "Sign in" before proceeding.

It will be a shame if TNT Sport chooses not to broadcast both of the Mens semifinals  on EETV/discovery+ in UHD.

Current schedules suggest that it is their intention only to offer the first of the semifinals in UHD on Friday.

Hi @zulu17 

We have heard back from the team and they have advised:

'There is one live TNT Ultimate channel, therefore there is only one UHD stream available at one time, and this is scheduled on a priority basis.

Regarding the timeline markers, these are not on every court unfortunately due to the scale of the event, they should be available on courts 1-4 and on occasion other courts depending on the anticipated interest in the match'

Thank you for the update @Leanne_T 

The timeline response is strange as the UHD stream is normally the  main show court  and generally the timeline markers are on the HD stream but not on the UHd stream for the same match from the same court at the same time. As I mentioned discovery plus do provide timeline markers on their football UHD streams as well on the HD stream.

The limitation on  number of UHD streams is again a bit surprising. I can understand why the EETV TNT Sport linear channels may have limitations  as the channels have to be licensed but the discovery+ streamer having this limitation is strange for different events from different locations (eg Tennis from Paris and Rugby from UK).

Anyway enjoying the coverage.
