BTSport

In February 2020 you reported:

 

"The great news is that BT Sport is coming soon!

From spring 2020 the BT Sport app will be available on the black NOW TV Box, the NOW TV Smart Box with HD & Freeview and the NOW TV Smart Stick with HD & Voice Search.

You'll be able to download the BT Sport app through the App Store and sign in to your BT Sport account to access all 4 BT Sport channels – BT Sport 1, 2, 3 and ESPN.

The BT Sport subscription will not be included in any NOW TV Passes.

Keep a lookout for further news of when BT Sport will be available."

 

According to the Met Office calendar, Spring officially ends this Sunday 31 May.

 

Will BTSport be available before then?

Are you for real?

Real in what sense Mr Starman73?

 

NOWTV has been available on the BT platform for some months now.

 

NOWTV Ireland has offered BTSport for 7 months.

 

I'm just trying to get an understanding for the apparent delay in offering BTSport on NOWTV in the UK.

Real in that because of covid-19 nothing is happening with Now TV since mid-March and there is only German football on BT Sport.  Adding the BT Sport app to Now TV devices is not going to happen by end of this month.

And yet Disney was added to the App store in April; a new software build, 4136, was released a few days ago & new Sky channels were added yesterday.

Does the NOW TV Team ever respond on this forum?

 

BT released its new-look BTSport App on 20 May & so presumably it is now available to be included in the APP Store.

 

Unlike NOW TV Ireland, NOW TV UK is not proposing to include access to BTSport through any NOW TV passes, so any new infrastructure on the part of NOW TV will not be required to be in place.

 

So, what is the hold-up? Will it be ready before the proposed re-start of the Premier League on 17 June?

It’s not in the App Store for Now TV sticks. It’s not on Roku either which is the precursor to appearing on Now. Doubt it will be in place for 19th June.

@Anonymous User there are no bulk packages for BT Sport with Now TV in the UK. If you are using a Now TV stick or box, you can download the app from the app store and subscribe directly with BT.

 

A months pass (without a contract) which you can cancel at any time is £25 per month. You can use this pass on any compatible device and stream 2 channels simultaneously on different devices.
