Sky Sports Tennis UHD

[gszab1]

Does someone know how to jump to Sky Sports Tennis UHD? Can't find the switch button on the HD channel, only the watch from start option shows up, red button also useless.

Could be that the available UHD channels are showing football?

There is a dedicated Sky Sports Tennis UHD channel for the duration of the US Open. It's actually one of the 2 UHD pop-up channels. Just can't find a way to access it on Stream, which is a shame...and maybe another bug.

Tennis is on channel 922 now.

Yeah, Main Event has switched to tennis. But sky must be aware that it is not okay at all not to be able to access the Tennis UHD channel.

Channel 901 is often used for UHD sports, the Main Event Channel always gives priority to Football, Ive just looked through the sports channels on the UI and there is no Tennis UHD channel listed unlike F1 UHD.

The 2 pop-up channels are still on ch 903 and 904, but unfortunately sky have decided to hide them for some strange reason. So basically they are still there, just not present in EPG. The only way to access them is through the "Watch in Ultra HD" button, which is missing on Stream.

The way this can be done on Sky Glass/Stream is you will need to go onto the Home page and select category Sport. There under Live sport this week you should see Live US Open in UHD.

However, if you are referring to the traditional way of accessing this via live viewing then there is one longer way. If the pop-up doesn't appear and the Main Event channel switches to the football is to use the Watch From Start option on channel 408.

You will then need to hold down the right key and scroll the time bar to as near-live as you can. It will mean watching live pause delay for around one minute if this doesn't bother you.

I know it's only a quick fix and not ideal as it is a pain doing it each time. Until Sky recognises it needs to have a second option to toggle between the 2 options of Watch From Start and Watch in UHD.

Thanks, somehow I totally forgot about the possibility of accessing it through the Home page. Found the channel, hugely appreciate your advice!
