Yes, if you have Now from BT, and you try to set up a new independent Now account over internet from BT, it will fight you tooth and nail to stay on the BT Now.
BT do this with the best of intentions, but you need to bypass it, so turn off WiFi and go on cellular on your mobile, where your ISP is not BT, to set up the new account for Sports direct from Now.
Once you have the account, you can use it on any of your devices over BT WiFi, but you may find BT keeps overwriting it with your BT account details, especially on your Pro box.
It’s a faff to keep changing accounts anyway, so try having the Sports account on a Stick or Roku Express if you have one, and only use it for that account.
If BT keep changing the account back (I’m not sure they will everywhere, but they might) then it may take a Roku Express, on mains power so it never sleeps, left logged in the the Sports account, to keep BT at bay, though it may not come to that.
Anyway, if you get this going, please do come back and tell us if BT started hijacking Now back on your device, and if so, whether you managed to stop it.
Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.
