If that is the case, you should raise this with discovery plus. I would suggest listing missing matches in any correspondence with discovery plus.

Australian Open Tennis on Discovery+

Has anyone else had issues watching the Australian Open through Discovery+?


For the first 5-days of the tournament there was an option on the Australian Open page to watch "all replays" where every match that had ended could be watched in full.

 

This option has now disappeared so it's pot luck if the match you want to watch is listed as a featured match......this is hugely frustrating as I'm missing matches.  It's not practical to try and watch them live during to the 11-hour tone difference!


Tried rebooting the puck on the off chance but clearly a Discovery+ issue/decision.

Ive moved your post from Stream to here.

The Discovery + app is not really specific to Sky Stream.

 

Agree though with you, the previous live matches today do seem to have gone from the app.

 

There are some there, but only the most recent, like under Matches of the Day and GB stars jumbled into those categories.

Rather than just using the promoted AO tile, have found you get more content by doing this:

Selecting Sports from the right menu, select other Sports at top, then 'painfully' scroll down to Tennis.

 

I think it  might be worth emailing Discovery +. I have done so this morning asking this very question.

 

Especially as they were promoting full replays.

@lettice  Thank you.  Yes, I'll be contacting Discovery+ directly as this isn't what was advertised.  It's curious that it was there for the first 5-days and then removed. 🧐

let's see what response, if any, we get!

Just had a reply.

 

They are there, but not categorised apparently it seems.

So, right hand menu, select search.

either type a name like 'Boulter', 'draper' or 'Sabalenka' or for a full list long listing just type in 'Australia'.

select Tennis on top, if it shows non sport.

It has all the content and the previous days full replays.

@lettice  That is wonderful, thank you!

I'll have a rummage around shortly for the matches I've not yet found. 😊👌

Just been on another TV app on a Hisense Smart TV I have, it shows the same as the Sky app.

The Android and iPad apps and on an Android TV the app shows the full rail replays banner.

 

So seems the TV app UI is slightly different to the mobile apps on some devices.

Re: watch aussie tennis during daytime in GB

 Ridiculous isn't it. In todays technology sky can't sort the matches by date for AO. What about the court side chat? What do you have to type into search function for that? Thanks Sharon

@Shashie  AO is on Eurosport which is neither owned or run by Sky.  It is a Warner Brothers/Discovery channel.

Like you I'm a customer here, Sky Employees are clearly identified as such.

The last few days or so, the AO section and rails have been well populated.

 

Just say 'Australian Open' into the Sky remote.

Or go to the Sports Tennis area and there is a large AO a section.

 

The main three rails are live, highlights and catch up.

All the live links are there for the Eurosport live matches.

All the tournament full match replays are there in the catch-up rail for links to the Discovery+app.
