This week is qualifying week and only one screen is available - but when the competition proper starts next week you should be able to access all courts on SkyQ.

How do I access the other tennis courts coverage. I pressed the red button but it doesn't go anywhere

As discussed in another thread on here;

From red button you are as you say taken to the ranking page (no idea why),, hit the sky remote backup key.

That puts you on the court choice line, scroll left for the 17 or so courts.

Choose the court with select.

Use select when it shows watch live.

To return to the stream choice, while watching a stream, choose select and back button and scroll either left or right for other streams.

hi @croftwoman

Do you get the rankings list when you press the Red button or just nothing

If nothing try a reboot of your SKy Q Box (place in Standby, then unplug & wait >15s before re-applying power)

If you get the rankings then press the back/duismiss button which should then bring up various courts and other options which you may hev to scroll through

Edit : @lettice has probably described the action needed better

How do we watch the matches on demand? Given that we are based in the UK and the US Open is a different time zone, how can you choose a match to watch On Demand the following day? You need a proper player like Eurosport and Prime. Otherwise it will be incredibly disappointing...

Yes hope they sort this out very poor service for the extra cost sky charges than prime which was a must better service and had a watch list and you could watch things back , this is rubbish they say you can use now tv but not paying anymore if sky can not get it put right.

I know. I can't find a way to watch on demand. Surely they have this facility? I want to come in from work and be able to look for the match I want that was on earlier in day. Or watch the Coco Gauff match that starts at midnight UK time tomorrow during the day.

Am I missing something? can't see anything on demand. Can't pause stream, FF or view from start of match.

I just upgraded to SkyQ from an old box specifically to upgrade to SkySports for the US Open. the tech isnt coming for 2 weeks! Can I install it myself? Can I only watch it on my phone on the app?? Do I have 14 days cooling-off period to cancel?

Re: u s open tennis

Shashie — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 21:46:51 GMT

Have a look in My Sky app to see if sooner appts - cancellations come up.

When I switched from Sky + HDbox to Sky Q in 2020 I recall it needed the chap to come with the new Sky Q 1TB box plus you need different ports on the satellite dish fitted. Annoyingly the Sky + box recordings can't be transferred over either so make sure you watch all saved recordings that you don't want lost!

hope that helos

You should be able to record the night sessions from tv menu on arena or active just not ones on red button

Re: u s open tennis

Snoopy2 — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 22:31:07 GMT

Omg, you can't transfer any saved recordings???!😔

Re: u s open tennis

Snoopy2 — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 22:33:08 GMT

Do you mean record the entire program and fast forward through to the ones I want? I don't think they're showing all.😔

Re: u s open tennis

Shashie — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 23:02:33 GMT

Unfortunately no. It's ridiculous. Why can't they save your recordings on viewing card but instead they save on box so once changed to Sky Q you can't use Sky +HD box

Re: u s open tennis

Shashie — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 23:06:08 GMT

On Sky Arena channel & Sky Tennis channel they show matches all day from Louis Armstrong & Arthur Ashe Courts. If you want to watch from start then I guess you'd have to set a recording for the channel (not great when my box is almost full). The other 13 or so courts are streamed live & can't be paused or watched from start - so annoying. So missing prime.

Snoopy2 — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 00:20:29 GMT

Me, too. Work is so stressful now, tennis is my one joy and relaxation. Prime had its faults but was amazing compared to this. I can't believe the sales agent didn't tell me I'd lose all my programs.

Does anyone know if I can cancel the upgrade within 14 days?

Re: u s open tennis

Sally+Forth — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 12:26:35 GMT

Me too. I miss the tennis on Prime. Easy to navigate live and upcoming matches. Equally easy to find completed matches to stream. Sky Sports now have tennis until 2027

Re: u s open tennis

Shashie — Tue, 29 Aug 2023 14:27:30 GMT

You can cancel within cooling off period or you can push back the installation of Sky Q via my Sky app. I did that a few times so I could watch impt things on Sky+HD box that i had saved.

Such a poorly delivered US Open Tennis service:

1) No on demand viewing service. Why are there no matches being shown on catch up once the live stream finished? I want to come in from work and be able to select a match that was on earlier in the day. On Prime this was easy. It listed all the matches played thus far &, once you selected your desired match, you could watch either from start or live if match still ongoing.

2) Can't pause, FF or RW matches when using Red Button

3) Why can't I watch a tennis stream from the start like I have done for years when watching tennis on Prime? Instead, when pressing the match option for one of the tennis streams shown on Red Button, it just takes you live to wherever it is in the Match. Why would I want that? I want to see a match from the start and FF/rewind/pause as I need.

4) Clunky poorly designed Red Button service. Bizarrely pressing the Red Button takes you to this small window on R on the screen displaying tennis player rankings. After many trial & error attempts, it was only here in Sky threads that I learned you have to press Backup to get the courts option. If watching a stream, then to return to the courts option you press Select then Backup.

5) The current live match scores are shown on the tiles when browsing the court stream options on the Red Button. Thanks Sky for spoiling the entire match for me. Maybe I've recorded on my Sky Q box, the night matches shown overnight on the Sky Arena & Tennis channels & not watched the recordings yet!!

6) The Sky Action Channel on 407 was of very poor picture quality last night. The Fritz vs Johnson match picture was fuzzy and sort of "Sizzling". Atrocious quality.

7) The Sky Tennis Channel on 408 had poor sound. When watching Coco Gauff vs Laura Siegmaund last night, I could barely hear the commentators as the background noise was so loud. It sounded like they were playing with a high speed train constantly zipping through!!

Sky - please urgently amend the above issues.
