In the UK, the broadcasting rights for tennis are moving from Amazon prime/discovery+ to sky-sports. The price is increasing from ~£6 a month to ~£35 p/m. I know there’s plenty of live streaming sites available to watch live matches, but when the tournaments are in the US or Australia the time difference doesn’t work. Are there any sites that allow you to watch tennis matches on demand?

I've been looking for the same thing. The stremio add-on is broken.

Isn’t that live tv only? No on demand?

I just checked and the basic plan has 19K VODs. Maybe report back if you like it?

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I will. If it does work it’ll make a lot of British tennis fans happy!

Have you found an answer if it plays sports on demand? Thinking of signing up for this to watch the premier league matches in the US.

[–] nomadic@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The site says the VODs are movies. I wouldn't sign up.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

That’s how I read it too. But I’ll update if I hear back from them.

[–] SomeoneElse@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No, but I have emailed them to ask. I’ll let you know if I get an answer/try it to see.

Hey! I had no luck finding sports replays on demand from an IPTV. But I did find a work around for this event - ESPN via YouTubeTV. It’s an American service so you need a VPN and US zip code - 11108 worked for me. It has a 21 day free trial and has all the EPSN channels (except plus) live and on demand. It wouldn’t let me sign up with my UK based PayPal, but it happily accepted my UK debit card with the American zip code.

What a legend! Follows up 3 weeks later with an answer and a work around solution! Love it! Thanks brother, you deserve all the best in this world.

You’re welcome! I forgot to say, if it helps in future I did find some decent live coverage on IPTV, much better than sky sports and ESPN imo. The Australian channel Stan had a dedicated channel for every court (Stan sports 1-19), commentary on every main draw match and no adverts. It was better than the live sports streaming websites. Have a good one 👍🏼

[–] CeleryFC@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

Yes, thank you. I think I’ll be making the switch. Too many streaming services for sub par results when I can do just 1 for a cheaper total cost and get a similar result.

[–] nomadic@lemmy.one 1 points 1 year ago

This is my dream but I doubt it'll ever materialize.

I use https://tm.fbstream.tv/ several times a week. (But you definitely need an adblocker)
