Tennis Channel 4+

Tennis Channel is absolutely the worst streaming service available (while at the same time being the most expensive). The issues are too numerous to list, but I will certainly give it a try. First, we were just watching the W&S Open final, a nearly four hour thriller, and tennis channel cut off the streaming during the final set tiebreak. Are you kidding me? Streaming is consistently spotty (spotty would be the nice word for it) and the app either fails to open or closes unexpectedly multiple times every time we use it. We constantly have to re-log back in to TC+, often multiple times at once. Some matches towards the ends of tournaments are for some reason only available on their main channel, which is blocked out to TC+ subscribers and absolutely makes no sense. So after paying north of $100 per year that doesn’t get you access to all their matches. Cool. To even say that this app is “hit and miss” would be a drastic overstatement, as it is only “miss”. I will, at this point, happily pay more and piece together whatever streaming services I have to to be able to watch tennis apart from Tennis Channel because the infuriation it causes to not even be able to watch tennis half the time is not worth it.

I love tennis, and I was willing to pay for it. Unfortunately, this is more frustration than enjoyment. I think the pandemic showed Sinclair how much money they could make without actually sending broadcasters to matches so they decided to go the extra mile and not even have them broadcast from their homes/studio. Anyone who reads this, knows how boring it is to watch any kind of sporting event on mute. That’s what this is. As other posters have said, it will freeze and lag and kick you out at the most interesting point in the match and since there is no pause, rewind, or ff, you’ll never get to see what you missed. Do you wanna watch on demand? Don’t get booted out because you’ll have to watch the entire match all over again. I have had this app for several years, but this is the last year they are getting money from me and since you have to buy the Tennis Channel to get Tennis Channel plus, they’re gonna lose both of those subscriptions. We can all still enjoy the grand slams on ESPN where they DO have rewind, pause, fast forward and commentators for all their matches. Hopefully another company will come forward soon and bring us a better app so we can cheer on our favorites.

Ditto on the last reviewer. Loaded app and purchased a year subscription. Was happy to finally have a way since cutting cable to watch some tennis. Purchased during the Western and Southern tournament and had the same experience as other reviewers with it being cut off during the most exciting part of the end. Then, I trued to tune in to watch the US open, but app does not recognize my subscription account. The only way to get a hold of customer service rep is through their chat or email and they just disconnect when they can’t help you. They say they cannot find an email associated with your account, but they sure didn’t have any problem taking my money. I showed them a screen shot of proof of my purchase and they still couldn’t help saying they would get back to me by E-mail in up to 48 hours. Apple said they will put in request for a refund and I feel like that’s my only recourse. We’ll see what happens. Don’t waste your time or money on this stinker!!
