Hi ken
you would think the likes of BT sport & Sky would go back to the old ways of watching a game of your choice like last night man utd v real betis and charge one off price per game say £10 as people incomes are shrinking not everyone can afford to pay £30 or £67 per month for these contracts.
We use to be with EE and got the bt sport for £18 per month now we have looked into trying to renew for bt sport and the prices are well high tried every combination.
Simon Hyland said:
I just got the EE deal for £10, 10GB per month, thanks for making me aware of this, much appreciated.
I just tried to activate 3 free months of sport – Be aware, EE are NOT giving free sport anymore – the cost is reduced to £20 per month, but there is NO free Sport.
Please update your guide, as it now out of date.
All the best

Hi Simon,
Thanks for letting me know! It looks like they’ve quietly pulled the BT Sport offer… I’ll update the article to reflect.
Thanks again,

Richard said:
Hi Ken,
Thanks for the info.
I have Now TV Super Fibre, Freesat and watch all my catch up services/Sky Sports through Now TV/Netflix/Prime on my 4k Firestick and it all works wonderfully well.
Have I read it correctly that I cannot stream BT Sport on the Firestick ? I’d be pleased to add BT Sport but don’t want any more devices and just want to use the Firestick.
If true, why is this the case ?
Richard
Ps Keep up the good work
Ken replied:
Hi Richard,
Thanks for your comment. I believe the BT Sport app should be available on Amazon Fire TV. Simply go to the Amazon App Store and search for the “BT TV App”. That should give you what you need 🙂

The btsport app is a joke doesn’t work, downloaded it on both my mobile and tablet, and worked on neither on my phone just kept getting a message saying sorry there is an error at our end try again.
Then on my tablet i was just about to watch the game I’d been given permission for as a season ticket holder and had a message out if region called by sport number and they couldn’t help so missed the game
Nicky said:
Hi,
Can you help me with something regarding EE – now the BT Sport App is available on TVs (i.e playstation & Now TV boxes) – if we were to sign up to EE BT Sport deal, would we be required to cast to the TV always from the phone or can we log into the app directly without casting?
Thanks
Ken replied:
Hi Nicky,
Thanks for your comment. I believe EE only gives you access to the BT Sport app on your mobile. You’ll need to add Big Screen Access if you want to use it on a PlayStation or Now TV box – this is £5/month if you have the Swappable Benefit or £15/month otherwise if you don’t.

you just need the app on your TV/Set top box or now tv box and you can get it on big screen without casting

Hi, I have btsports and haven’t had a reduction in my monthly fee whilst there is no football or sport. There is a message on the telephone saying you are aware of the situation & that customers will be refunded accordingly but as yet there is no difference to my monthly premium. Sky tv have already re-immersed there customers. When are you doing the same.

Do you have a similar article for Sky Sports?
Ken replied:
Hi R99,
Sadly, not at the moment! It’s a great idea, however and something I’ll definitely take a look into for the future!

Kelly said:
Hi Ken
Can you add the BT Sport App to the flexible EE sim only contracts (I.e the pay as you go or rolling contracts)? Or does it need to be a 12 month contract?
Ken replied:
Hi Kelly,
Thanks for your comment. Sadly, the BT Sport app is only available on Pay Monthly contracts – it isn’t available on EE Flex or Pay As You Go 🙁

Marcus Molloy said:
Hi Ken,
Regarding the BT sports app via BT mobile, does the access work for Smart TV BT Sports app as well, or is it only for mobile devices? I cannot set up a monthly pass on the app without an BT ID.
Thanks
Ken replied:
Hi Marcus,
Sadly, the BT Sport app on BT Mobile only allows you to watch from your mobile phone. It doesn’t include casting to other devices or access through other devices like your smart TV.
Ken
Nat replied:
how about an iPad- i.e mobile contract but using the login to view on an iPad?
Ken replied:
Hi Nat,
Thanks for your comment. Sadly, I believe the app is restricted so that you can only use it to watch BT Sport on a mobile phone.
Ken
Andy said:
The EE site states that the app is £5/month and casting £10/ month – one of you have it the wrong way round…..
Ken replied:
Hi Andy,
Thanks for the feedback! Can you let me know where you saw this on the EE website? I just double checked this information now and it definitely says £10/month for BT Sport, and an additional £5/month to get casting as well.
Thanks,
Ken

I pay my subs every month for bt sport £27.99,can get bt sport on tv and ipad but not laptop,why.
Ken replied:
Hi John,
Thanks for your comment. This is something you’ll need to check with BT Customer Support I’m afraid, as it probably relates to the price plan you’re on or other compatibility reasons.
Sorry I couldn’t be of my help!
