My view is that while it would be nice if there was free to air coverage of the Australian Open tennis, Discovery are under no obligation to provide free to air coverage. Tennis Australia sold them exclusive rights and if they feel that keeping them exclusive is a way of driving subscribers to their platform then that is their choice.
Discovery + is pricier then the Eurosport Player was but it’s much cheaper then BT or Sly Sports. It’ll be interesting to see what the pricing structure is when the BT-Eurosport merger is complete.
My main grumble with Discovery + is that none of the replays of the Eurosport TV coverage are playing properly for me. I’m just getting a black screen with sound. The live coverage and the replays of the online only coverage are working fine. I would also like at least some commentators to be onsite rather then the commentary coming from the UK.
