US open coverage petition

I made a post a few days ago complaining about the coverage, but seeing how frustrated and angry people are, I decided to write an open letter to the ATP/WTA/LTA and create a petition. I intend to send the letter in the morning, once I have a few signatures to back it up.

If, like me, you're not happy with the converge of the US open from Sky, please sign.

I know I haven't address every issue in the letter, but I felt like Sky need to address the elephants in the room with all court coverage and replays

In case it’s relevant to anyone else, the “confirmation required“ email from Change went to my Junk Mail folder after I signed the petition.

@Etienne_Sharkey 

Now will probably say they aren’t Sky, which they aren’t quite (e,g. you can’t complain about Now only being HD at most, just because you saw Sky advertising 4K) 

So have you got screenshots of Now’s original promises, or are you complaining about Sky in general? Which of course many of us here wouldn’t be able to endorse, as we only have Now 😢

Set a Payment PIN on your account so that no-one but you can buy memberships on it.
Check your bank accounts monthly for any other unexpected payments to Now.
That way you can at least nip them in the bud, while you and Now figure out whose fault they are.

Thank you, Etienne, and well written. I have written independently to the US Open, but the petition is a great idea.

Well done. I signed and shared your petition and also wrote to THE US OPEN to complain and am STILL trying to get some positive response from NOW ...

I wrote to the US OPEN to complain and received an immediate response. They included this link to their website where they show videos and highlights: https://www.usopen.org/en_US/video/index.html

Yes, it's actually the US Open who made the mistake of selling the rights to the highest bidder. So you need to address the petition to them as well as ATP/WTA/LTA.   I have signed the petition but the number didn't go up. 

Also, I'm asking Sky for my money back. I assume everyone else is doing this.

Brilliant job Etienne and thanks.
