I wish I could rate it zero
I wish I could rate it zero. Even if you ignore that the nav doesn't update events itself and promotes old content, the IOS App constantly freezes with one error or another, (and no capability to buffer to prevent having to sign back into content when it happens) and drops out casting constantly on 150mb wifi. The clear worst of all streamer i use (try to use given their content is great)
Good streaming service for sports fans
Very good streaming platform: no technical issues, good HD quality of live stream, interesting commentary (even throughout the whole long Tour de France stages), works well through web, but also on old Android tablet. Recommended.

Still no commentary
"Hello Simon, thank you for sharing your review. Please note that Criterium du Dauphine is available on our platforms in ambient sound and 12 languages. If you need any further assistance, please let us know at: //help.eurosport.com we would be more than pleased to help. I wish you a pleasant day Simon".
Dear Eurosport, the answer you have provided to my last review is totally useless. On the days in question I could not find a single channel with commentary.
The Tour of Switzerland has the same problem. Some days the commentary is there, other days not. I don't do anything different.
Btw I did email Eurosport.com directly, but have had no answer.

Le Mans Disappointment.
Tried to watch practice and qualifying from Le Mans only to find constant buffering, so frustrating. For the race I used my VPN and watched successfully elsewhere. Watched Le Mans for years on Eurosport Player with no problems so why change to DiscoveryPlus? I won't be back.
Disappointment after disappointment
Disappointment after disappointment. First the French Open which was reduced to a farce as it buffered over and over and over again, interrupting ALL of the matches I watched. Having to watch that McEnroe barging in to Mats Wilander before the final over and over. He needs telling to behave, that gobby McEnroe lad. Now to learn that the Le Mans coverage is no longer 24 hours in the UK; WHY is this ? Are we not paying enough. I definitely feel I wasted my money and I will not be renewing. Absolute rubbish.

Still as frustrating as ever
After having been duped into another year's subscription (my fault - I forgot to cancel so it auto-renewed "for my convenience"), I thought I'd give it another go having abandoned it about a year ago through sheer frustration. I had hoped that a year's more development and listening to customers complaints might have changed things but I was wrong. Just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how and when I can watch the Dauphine bike race. The interface is horrendous. The programme I want is missing from the "schedule" but appears when I click on "view earlier" or search for it. When you do find it, there appear to be two versions of the same programme?! And then, just when you think you've found what you're looking for, you realise that it's highlights from last year's race : ) I haven't got the time or patience to unpick it all everytime I want to watch something - the race is usually over or I've heard the result from elsewhere by the time I've worked out how to watch it on Eurosport. Guess that's another £40 down the drain. Bah humbug.

Bad, bad, bad
Very poor coverage on the Discovery Plus channel. Have cancelled my subscription now the French Open is over. A dreadful move, as the current, soon-to-die Eurosport Player, was excellent. I have subscribed happily for many year.
Could not easily find French Open 2022 recorded matches Amazon Prime.
This is an updated review. Previously I gave one-star and wrote "Terrible. Very hard to find French Open 2022 games, and often was not able to watch previous games. A mess.".
Eurosport replied saying the videos were indexed by player name to make it easier, so out of sympathy I've upped my score to 3. I'd been using Amazon Prime, and had eventually worked out that searching for 'French Open' was futile, and I could not find many of the matches, and had to instead use player name and year. But I think someone should be able to find recorded matches by 'French Open 2022', not just player name!

Absolutely pathetic
Incompetent service in almost every way possible. Evidence of cost cutting at every corner. Awful commentary. Awful quality streaming despite super fast internet. How the hell does this tinpot operation get rights to cover a grandslam?! Just useless.

What a bad commentary on the match of…
What a bad commentary on the match of Djokovic versus Nadal. Just send John McEnroe back to the USA. He says one thing, the next second the players show something else. Just cannot listen to him anymore.?
Terrible service
Terrible service. Tonight's tennis match between Zverev and Alcaraz cut off at a vital point with a message that the event had ended when it clearly hadn't. What are they playing at?

Pathetic
Pathetic is the word I would use to sum up Eurosport's tennis coverage. It just isn't up to modern standards. It's mostly ad breaks interspersed with a bit of sport, though you never know which match you are going to get and when the next inexplicable mid-match switch is about to happen. Schett -- whose voice is simply unbearable and teeth are always in your face -- and Wilander are so far past their sell-by date it's not even funny anymore. Add to that thoroughly uninformative commentary by folks who (for the most part) have been doing this far too long and it makes for one insipid package. Truly awful.

Very flaky
Very flaky. Works for about 2 hours before it starts buffering every couple of minutes. Very frustrating when watching Roland Garros. They should not be allowed to charge for such a poor service.
Absolutely bizarre coverage.

Eurosport 1 showed the whole Djokovic v Schwartzman match then immediately switched to cover the last 3 points of Mertens v Gauff just as Djokovic was about to be interviewed post match. They then covered the whole of Gauff's post match interview. What did The world no 1 tennis player have to say? Thanks to Eurosport we may never know.
