Amazon prime is about £9 per month, gives you free delivery and amazon tv. It looks as if they are showing courtesy of tnt but I wont know until I try it. They have some rugby stories on as well. Just watched Tigers Heineken cup game against stade francais in 2000/01.

when I checked the Rugby was an additional subscription to Prime, for the same price of £29.99, so I've opted for the full discovery+ subscription and will leave myself accidentally logged into my Dad's TV.

Been navigating the murky waters of TNT and as an existing Prime subscriber have opted for their offer at £29.99 per month which like the old BT monthly pass can be cancelled at any time. This is mainly on the basis that we don’t need it in the close season and as season ticket holders we’re covered for home games and of course they don’t show every game.

We are also on Sky but their offering is £28.99 but with an 18 month contract.

I have internet speed of 46Mbps and the stream is buffering and taking quite a bit of time to restart. Anyone else having problems?

I have BT broadband and adding BT Sport now TNT Sport to watch on Sky TV is a lot less than £29.99 you quote. I think it's around £16 per month. As I also watch MotoGP I'm happy with the deal

I have had BT TV with sport since BT started showing the rugby. Now sport has gone to TNT watched on BT at no extra cost (good job as the game was not the best) also get Discovery + at no extra cost which means can watch on Sky (when wife is out) on bigger screen again at no extra cost. Added benefit can watch anything on Discover+ at any time

I've had BT broadband and phone for a decade or more and since they started charging for BT Sport (when they got Champions League) the cost on Sky has been around £10 a month cheaper if you have BT Broadband. TNT on my last bill was £17.16 and as commented previously you get Discovery+ for free which includes Eurosport.

I relented. I don’t get to Welford road very often, and given they seem to be having most of the tigers matches on, it works out to less than the price of the car park and a pint per match.

I don’t have sky or bt tv so did a subscribe to discovery plus on my phone.
the tnt connection worked ok , I do have a good internet connection, and I was able to cast it to big tv.

It would so much simpler to have one site Premier Rugby TV - where you have five options.
1. freebie replays but not live.
2 - single match (£5) or single team premiership for season (£175)
3 - all rugby - behind the scenes a tnt season subscription - (£250)
4- all rugby including champion ship highlights -(£275)
5 - all sport inc a years subscription to discovery plus (£360)

You won't. It was only every really advantageous for BT Broadband customers who received a 50% or so discount on BT Sport. Now its been sold to Warner/Discovery then the only saving is if you were previously paying for both BT and Discovery (Eurosport etc), as it's now a single subscription, although again, for BT Broadband users the discount seems to have stayed... for now.

Sadly not for Plusnet users. Once an independent company, now the BT cheap brand! It is nice to be downgraded without ones consent. Cheap though!

I threatened to leave Sky and go back to BT so I got a deal with all Sky sports + BT as was +Sky cinema etc etc. They will negotiate a lower price if you stick at it.

Have all the Sky package and managed to get them to reduce by £33 per month.....they want to retain customers so always worth challenging the prices.

Its the same with NowTV, except you don't have to deal with a salesperson. Just set a reminder at the end of the period, click you want to cancel, and 3 or 4 clicks later you're back at your discounted price.
