Has anyone just watched her tonight at the US Open? What an amazing talent and through to the last eight.

TillyTrotter Sat 11-Sept-21 09:12:58

I’ll be watching ? ? Thank goodness Amazon prime are showing it live.
Good Luck Emma,

Unfortunately we are out this evening but I'm hoping we may be home before the match ends.

I'm originally from the Bromley area so she is a local girl who has done remarkably well.

Come on Emma we are all behind you.

Hello
You can get a 30 day free trial for Prime Video (and watch Jeremy Clarkson’s Farm while you’re at it smile)

A. After reading about what ckarkson is doing in local village I definitely won’t watch him (wouldn’t anyway tbh)

B. I’m very pathetic about TV technology…I ve just signed up for prime free trial so how do I actually watch it …..does it appear on my TV ?

Channel 4 have just announced that they've struck a deal with Amazon and will be showing the match live. There will be ad breaks though so I'll still be watching on Prime.

Lucca if you've got a smart TV then Prime should be one of the apps. You'll need to check your manual but it's usually found in the main menu.
Otherwise you can watch it on a computer or tablet.

If you have a Smart TV, then the icon for Prime app may already be pre-installed along with others along the bottom or side of you sceen depending on how you have it see up. If not, look in the apps menu and add it to your list.

First time you use Prime you will be asked to authorise it which will also synchronise it to your computer or other device, so have that handy. It tends to be easier to do this on a device keyboard. TV input screens are apt to be laborious having to tab from one letter and number to another.

That's all you have to do. Then you can watch on whichever device you chose. You can even switch between them for the same programme and the app will track where to resume.

Thanks !
But now I can watch on 4 !

Zoejory Sat 11-Sept-21 09:37:56

Good on Amazon Prime and Channel 4. Excellent news for all. I'll stick with Prime as well as I can do without the adverts!

Silverbridge, you forgot to mention that Prime is a subscription service. Anyone who uses Amazon Prime for parcel delivery will be able to use the video channels, though some films will incur an extra charge.

Thanks !

Oh! It’s on 4 is it! Excellent news

MayBee70 Sat 11-Sept-21 10:07:45

Thanks for that! I wouldn’t have known.

Amazon Prime for me as they have excellent presenters such as Jim Courier, Martina N and Tim Henman gives his 6th penneth worth.

I think both contestants will be nervous. I believe they are friends and have known each other for a few years.

TillyTrotter Sat 11-Sept-21 20:00:32

I’m in my seat in front of the TV now, and let nobody disturb me ?

Jaxjacky Sat 11-Sept-21 21:12:50

I can’t believe her name was/is spelt incorrectly court side! Radacanu, unbelievable….

Lucca Sat 11-Sept-21 21:20:42

I like both their outfits . Feminine but practical

MayBee70 Sat 11-Sept-21 21:43:12

I’m going to have to go for a walk. Nerves getting to me…

I'll join you!

TillyTrotter Sat 11-Sept-21 21:45:00

The pace is phenomenal. They both have the hunger to win and it’s a very special match on a very poignant day.

Take your time…. This looks like it’s going to be a long hard fight!

Grandmadinosaur Sat 11-Sept-21 22:19:08

Phew! Hard fought but she made the first set.

Pittcity Sat 11-Sept-21 22:21:37

I'm exhausted just watching!?

ixion Sat 11-Sept-21 22:22:41

Here am I

MayBee70 Sat 11-Sept-21 22:24:37

I’m back. If things look dodgy again I’ll go for another walk. It seems like a winning formula.

Lucca Sat 11-Sept-21 22:25:53

Apologies if I already posted this

NotAGran55 Sat 11-Sept-21 22:52:42

Go Emma!
