Not sure if anyone noticed this on the CMH site, but live events are now FREE. Membership allows you to watch replays on demand, but you can watch most events in real time for no fee.
I also got the notice that my Badminton membership was “renewed” but then it showed a discount next to the charge and a $0 payment? When I contacted CMH, it took days to get a response which said:
*As of this year, BadmintonTV has merged with ClipMyHorse.TV. We’ve previously tried to inform you of this change via email. [THEY DID NOT]
As part of this transition, we have also taken over responsibility for managing memberships, including contracts and payments.
We would like to let you know that your BadmintonTV pass was successfully renewed on 15-April-2025. This gives you full access to the Badminton Horse Trials event starting on May 7th 2025, as well as on-demand access to all related content for one year following the event.
There was no charge, because you already payed last year.
I’m not sure what that means that I already paid last year. As far as I’m aware I was charged when I signed up for the 2024 stream but didn’t see anything after that…
In any case, going forward I’m just going to plan on watching the livestream for free rather than give CMH my money.
