Please note that from the 5th of July 2023, the BT Sport service (now known as TNT Sports), including the BT Sport app and BT Sport via a Sky TV box, is no longer available or accessible to Plusnet Broadband customers. If you are affected by this change, you should have received prior communication from Plusnet.

Plusnet Broadband customers will now need to subscribe to TNT Sports directly via the Discovery+ website or app at a cost of £29.99 per month. Once subscribed, they can start watching TNT Sports live streams on the Discovery+ app on a range of supported devices. These include iOS & Android powered mobiles & tablets, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, Roku TV, Samsung smart TV's and gaming consoles.

BT Sport Lite and the full BT Sport Pack (re-named as TNT Sports from the 18th of July 2023) with all Champions League football coverage, can be enjoyed by Plusnet Broadband customers either on YouView TV from Plusnet, via the BT Sport app from Plusnet or via Sky TV.

What Do I Need To Watch BT Sport (TNT Sports) On YouView TV From Plusnet?

YouView TV from Plusnet packages are available to existing Plusnet Unlimited Fibre Broadband customers who have a Plusnet home phone plan.

If you are an existing Plusnet ADSL Copper Broadband customer, you will need to upgrade to an Unlimited Plusnet Fibre Broadband package.

If you are currently not a Plusnet customer, you can switch to the £24.99 a month Plusnet Unlimited Fibre Broadband package which includes Plusnet phone line rental.

What Does YouView TV From Plusnet Offer?

YouView TV from Plusnet puts you in control of your TV. With seven day scroll back, you can literally scroll back your TV guide and watch the programmes you have missed. Over 70 Freeview channels are available to watch, pause, rewind and record.

Also included as standard is BT Sport Lite (with 52 live Premier League games), and 20 premium TV Entertainment channels like the Discovery Channel, Eurosport, GOLD, National Geographic and the History Channel.

There is also access to on demand players like the BBC iPlayer, the ITV Hub, All 4, My5, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.

YouView TV from Plusnet does not currently support multiroom access.

How Much Does YouView TV From Plusnet Cost?

This depends on whether you take the YouView box or the YouView+ box. Both are £5 a month, however, the YouView+ box has a £57.99 upfront fee, while the standard YouView box is £6.99. In terms of functionality, the main difference between the two boxes is that the YouView+ box can also record up to 150 hours of HD, or 300 hours of SD, while the YouView box can pause and rewind, but not record.

These Channel Packs are available on a rolling monthly contract, with a one month minimum term, which is handy.
