A bit concerning.

Anyone heard anything about this?

If true, in one fell swoop, my decent HD TV access to most 2 wheeled bike sport coverage is gone.

Fuck using online "players" - they are just shit.

I'll be gutted if this happens.

Have to say I won't be happy if this happens, but I used the Eurosport player for the last 12 months and found it flawless either AirPlay onto the Apple TV or Chromecasting it. Compared to the MotoGP app it was superb, but I'd rather watch it on the Sky box, especially as the Eurosport app doesn't have a Spoiler free option which meant everytime I went into it I saw who had won before opening the race itself....

Glad I'm on virgin media then 

[MOzZereLLa]

Can't get Virgin media where I live otherwise it would be considered.

Is Eurosport player a subscription service or fee app Peej?

[alienmunkee]

Available with BT TV too... The only time I seem to be pleased that I'm with BT!!!

[MOzZereLLa]

BTs prices are about to go up too.

Paid unfortunately mate, £5.99 a month but at the moment they are offering a years access for just £19.99

Shock horror - I bet that offer ceases to exist after 1 Feb which is the date Discovery are threatening to withdraw their channels from Sky.

The thing that works for me with Sky is the ability to record it.

Ditto! Being able to go back on the app and find it is ok, but I just like the convenience of the Sky box having it all on there.

Confirmed.
Couldn't care less about the bike racing but losing Discovery channels is a right pisser.

Glad I am on Virgin so I can keep up with Alaskan Swamp Logging Moonshiners.

Sadly enough I do watch that sort of thing, it draws you in.

People that have phoned Sky are reporting that the deal isn't done and dusted until Feb 1st so could change yet.

[MOzZereLLa]

Fingers crossed the use of the word "unlikely"in the opening statement means that it isn't a given we'll lose the channels.

If they do lose it I'll try my luck at a early contract termination and give BT TV a go

[LewisBeGoog]

I have been watching tennis on Eurosport and they even announced that Sky users would not have Eurosport or any Discovery owned channel from Feb the 2nd so seem true.

[MOzZereLLa]

Guess it depends who blinks first.

Its a fairly major game of chicken.
