Discovery+ and Sky TV apps not streaming on Xbox Series X.

Question

Discovery+ and Sky TV apps not streaming on Xbox Series X.

Firstly, only just noticed the MS/Xbox community/help forums were closed, like most Xbox services and features, and Xbox isn't even listed as a service here (or tag - had to select false ones!), so don't cry if I am on the wrong website, but, as explained in the title, today both Discovery+ and Sky TV (UK) apps are booting up but won't stream any video (well, apart from initial adverts 😸, followed by error codes).

There's no outage listed on the Xbox services status reports - although I can't see TV streaming specifically listed as a service. Both apps suddenly being broken suggests MS is responsible.

Obviously I've done the futile steps you're always instructed to do (even the weird deleting of 'Persistent Storage' for Blu-ray - secret fix for some stuff), when it's never actually a fault you can fix 😸.

Just wait till whenever? I've been watching all the best Winter Olympics events - Discovery+ has full replays, but I'll have hours of catch-up! 🏂😿
