How to watch

On a phone or laptop screen, HD feeds already look sharp; 4K only pays off on a 4K display. Fast tennis rewards a wired connection more than a 4K badge. If it doesn't suit you, the 7-day money-back guarantee applies, and because plans are prepaid there's nothing to cancel later.

What you need for US Open on the MacBook

  • Player: IPTV Smarters Pro (free)
  • Plan on about 10 Mbps for each HD stream and 25 Mbps for each 4K stream
  • Channels to favorite: ESPN and ESPN2
  • Plan: from $10.42/month on the 12-month plan, or $24.99 for one month
  • Time: about five minutes, ideally the day before

The setup, in order

  • Pick a plan length, send the order on WhatsApp, and keep the reply open: it holds the server URL, username and password.
  • Get IPTV Smarters Pro from the Mac App Store or the developer's own site; if it arrives as a download, drag it into Applications.
  • Choose the Xtream Codes login in IPTV Smarters Pro and enter the server URL (including http:// and the port), the username and the password exactly as sent.
  • Open the Sports group and add ESPN and ESPN2 to favorites.
  • Play one of those channels for a few minutes well before the first serve to confirm the picture is steady.

Tips for US Open day

  • Overseas tournaments air overnight in the US, and catch-up absorbs the time difference.
  • Grand Slam days spread across several courts and channels; favorite them all at the start of the tournament.
  • Matches have no fixed end time; recordings need generous padding.
  • A serve crosses the court in under a second, so choose the 60fps feed when you have the option.

Dial in the MacBook for US Open

On a computer, use the player's full-screen mode and plug in to Ethernet if you can. If a serve that crosses the court in well under a second tears or stutters, turn on hardware decoding in the player settings.

When the picture misbehaves

  • Drop from the 4K to the HD version of the channel; it needs less than half the bandwidth.
  • Move to Ethernet or 5 GHz Wi-Fi before the next one.
  • Restart the player at a break in play; it clears most freezes in under a minute.
