Watching television in 4K resolution is a delight that we cannot always do. There are not many operators’ television channels that broadcast in this image quality, so it is always good news to see that some like Movistar include one of them on their dial.
The new Movistar Plus+ channel in UHD resolution arrives just in time to be able to watch the Australian Open 2024 in the best possible image quality. We tell you how to watch this new 4K channel.
Eurosport 4K returns to Movistar
The first major tennis tournament of the year begins on January 14 and will conclude on the 28th of the same month. On this occasion, it is Eurosport that has the rights to the first Grand Slam of 2024, but the channel can be seen on some operators such as Movistar. Until now, the sports channel had two dials reserved on the blue operator: dial 72 (Eurosport 1) and dial 73 (Eurosport 2).
However, so that we can see the great Australian tennis competition, in which Rafa Nadal will unfortunately not be in what would be his return to elite tournaments, the dial 444 reserved for Eurosport 4K. At the moment, if this channel is selected in the Movistar UHD deco, it is not yet in official broadcast, but rather shows the broadcast in tests with promotional content for the Australian Open.
Although the preliminary phase of the competition has already begun, it will be next Sunday the 14th or shortly before when the broadcast of this channel will begin on Movistar television, whose programming is already available on the operator’s website. The channel and that same numbering is an old acquaintance of the blue operator’s television programming. Last year it also appeared just in time for the start of the ocean competition and could also be seen in 4K resolution Roland Garros in the month of May.
Watch the Australian Open without an operator
In addition to Movistar Plus+, Eurosport channels are also included in the programming of other operators such as Vodafone TV, Orange TV, Telecable, R and Euskaltel. However, if you are not a customer of any of those companies, you still have the option to watch it via streaming.
First of all, you have the Movistar Plus+ subscription that replaced Movistar Plus+ Lite. Do not be confused by the similarity of the names, as this is a service that can be contracted regardless of the operator you are from. In this case, it costs 14 euros per month and will broadcast the most notable matches of the tournament, including those of Carlos Alcaraz. In addition, this month you will be able to see the Spanish Super Cup, the Real Betis – Granada of LaLiga on January 13 and the most important Euroleague basketball matches.
The Eurosport channels are also part of the DAZN offer, so if you are customers of this streaming platform focused on sports content, you can use your subscription to watch the first Grand Slam of the tennis year. The content is included in all packages from DAZN Essential, so you don’t pay extra money if you only want the tennis.
Finally, you can subscribe directly to Eurosport to enjoy its sports offer. In this case, the price is 6.99 euros per monthso if you are only going to watch the Australian Open, you may be more interested in signing up and paying that price to follow the entire Oceanic tournament and later cancel your subscription.
