Star Sports Complaints & Reviews

Kindly do not provide ads in middle for an f1 grand prix!! Nothing wrong with the ads, but f1 as a sport cannot be interrupted in between by nonsensical chocolate and biscuit, etc advertisements. It breaks the intensity of the sport! Pre and post ads are fine, but once the race is started do not show any ads!!

In every Star sports channel they were only telecasting ipl highlights, not cricket is been played Indian players, football also.So I need you to telecast some of the football highlights today, tomorrow and every day.

Sir/Ma'am

I really feel pleasure to thank Starts Sports for covering all games of India in this difficult times where the whole world is witnessing the tough pandemic. Your great efforts are worthy of appreciation which is really making us feel good and also gives us a space of entertainment. I am really a huge of fan of cricket and really like the type of commentary presented to us by the Stars Sports. I have discovered in my recent past that Start Sports have never compromised with its brand of commentary with the quality of the game, whether India plays with the strong team or weak, the brand of commentary was always the best. However, in the recent few games of this Ind vs Eng series, I found your channel loosing the quality of the commentary. Most of the commentators like (special mentions) Akash Chopra, Parthiv Patel and Sanjay Bangar emphasised in speaking negative against the India team which is really the worst part of any commentator. They are just required to do the description of the present scenario which the spectators are watching at their home. Moreover, we don't want the captaincy from Akash Chopra because we are aware of his cricketing career. Your channel is bringing those players as experts who have already failed in their cricketing career. I feel really sad in looking at this, there remains plenty of good commentators and experts in our country, please try and fetch them before the ODI series (IND vs ENG) starts.
It is my earnest request to you to please look into the matter properly and I am sure that we (as a whole spectator community) can expect speedy and quick improvement with regards to commentary from your end. I will be really thankful to you for having ear to my words.

Most Telugu commentators, mainly Sasi is commentating 95% in English. They are not trying to talk in Telugu words. Very annoying.

Please don't let akash chopra commentate it ruins the whole match i swear to god i will unsubscribe

This is being observed since last 2-3 months that audio of commentators is extremely poor. Audio is extremely low & surrounding sound is more from ground.
On same volume (keeping everything same) the advertise being shown in between, Audio is quite ok & normal.
May be commentators speaking from ground, the mike is not proper. Or may be commentators speaking from studio is not proper, whatever may be the case.

My observation is that this is happening since Covid issue.

Not expected from technically high channel like Star Sports.

Sir plz add this star sports 1 on dd free dish plz sir

The 2 hosts for the EPL man utd vs southampton match are good soccer players.. I love wright as both soccer player and commentator..but the other guy (not sure his name) was totally bias and emotional in his comments particularly against man united. He accused martial as diving and was overly critical on referees decisions.. as a man utd fair such bias and one sided comments were unprofessional and unnecessary. I have seen many commentators incl wright who remained professional regardless on team affiliation eg ex players of a particular team. Kudos to wright and all others who have remained professional and non bias.
This commentator (star sports shd highlight their names periodically on screen) must be removed and let him instead share his comments and personal opinions with his bar mates! Disappointing and angry!

Why there is no dedicated channel for badminton especially for live matches. You keep on showing old cricket matches on other channels but we are unable to watch the badminton tournaments till the end. Why the coverage is stopped and replaced with some other sports. You have so many other channels where you can show other sports as well. Badminton matches might be continued on hotstar but do you expect us to buy each and every available subscription. I am not interested in watching stupid meaningless cricket matches. We pay a lot of money and we surely deserve good content.

Knowing the popularity and keenness to watch Badminton Tournament
Alreast ensure to telecast the tournament in one channel. Now BWF semi finals going on. And you have changed to Football matches now. Star Sports 2’HD and Star Sports 3 all football matches. Why can’t you people telecast Badminton Tournament at least in one Channel. Consider going forward.

Sir/ Madam,
I know that it is common to show advertisement in between the over gap. But they failed to keep a particular time on it. Most of the time their ad end when the bowler's run reach near umpire. This is not allowed as per rule. Also, if there is a gap happened other than over change they show unauthorised ad, which we will lose our continuation or we are unable to know what happened there. Please a make a restriction to this....

Hi team, hope you doing well.
I really enjoy watching your channels the only thing that hurts me is that I watch tv with DishTV which has that weird logo thing on the bottom of my screen which blocks the left side score while watching any match I would really appreciate if you could have them move the logo to the top right corner or have them remove the DishTV logo on start channels I tired to contact them as well but they were not so helpful, I would very much appreciate if you can get them remove that DishTV logo on my screen on all start sports channels.
Thank you so much I would wait for your response.
Have a lovely year.

Star sports 1 Tamil not coming even if i recharge the channel is blank

Please reduce your add in between over in ipl2020. Because today kkr vs csk after russel out we missed 2 balls, why your are put the more add. This is very worst

Kindly please reduce the add....

All the channels of star sports everyday show almost the same matches every single day. 2014 world cup, 2011 world cup, 1983 world cup. I know india won, but it's boring to see jatin sapru on video call every day. Show other great cricket matches too. Show 2005 ashes, 2009 ashes, 2015 world cup. Show 2003 and 2007 world cups. The content quality is really low.
I'm a patriot and a big fan of indian cricket team. But there is no use showing the same few matches where india keeps winning. It's boring. My money is being wasted.

Please provide kabaddi matches also atleast on one channel as it is also the second most popular sport in india...in this period of lock down we are eagerly waiting for kabaddi fun... Please look into this as this can be an important step towards entertainment of viewers of india... Only ipl and cricket stories are not enough to satisfy all type of audience...

Pls play all ipl teams highlates in star sports telugu channel

They were only playing srh wins
And ind vs nz t20 highlates

Same highlates will play more than 3 times in a day

Bored with that

Same highlates every day

Pls consider my request

And play all ipl team matches highlates

This is third time i was requesting

Pls sir
Thank you

Mr. Srikanth may be a senior cricketer but he speaks without respect about the cricketers.. He even calls them by names.. How can he say a indian player as scooter again and again.. He always address to the viewers but his job is to do a commentary on the match.. They have to analyse and say strategic plans like english commentators do rather than criticize individual players.. Calling then "enna panran avan" like that is not so good... Introduction o[censored]nnecessary terms is unnecessary like "arai koli ball" for a half volley is there a term like that... Stupid terms are not good when there is a exact terms for that... Commentators should be neutral rather than supporting a team... But they talk like street cricketers.. And if india lose then that's it all under performed indians are badly spoken without a bit of respect.. Mr. Srikanth is the worst of all.. Please comment with respect to all the players who are top of indian team now.. Star sports may lose viewers if kirsnamachary srikanth continues like this... When he is there his co commentators also does that.. No one can ask me even if i speak wrongly or give nick names to players is what his attitude is rather than a expert opinion... Send him off commetary ll be commentary.. It's creating so much hate on the channel...

I want to complaint regarding the false practice by the channel. The basic difference between sd and hd channel will be picture quality but i witnessed change of content. Currently us open is telecasting on star sports select 2 but not on star sports select 2 hd. Why?

Its conspiracy by the star sport to push as to subscribe its all sd and hd channels.

I wanted to register a complaint regarding the telecast on star sports.

As of 2nd july 2019, 8.20 p. M. Ist, the following is the order of telecast on star sports channels:

Star sports 1 hd - ind v/s ban world cup cricket match

Star sports 2 hd - ind v/s ban world cup cricket match

Star sports select 1 hd - ind v/s ban world cup cricket match

Star sports select 2 hd - wimbledon round 1 telecast (Centre court - r. Federer v/s l. Harris)

3 of the 4 star sports english hd channels are telecasting the same cricket match, while wimbledon is being telecasted on only one.

There are a number of different matches going on in wimbledon and like everytime, 2 channels should telecast wimbledon.

As of this moment, there are 2 important matches going on:
1. Centre court - r. Federer v/s l. Harris
2. Court no. 2 - m. Sharapova v/s p. Parmentier

Now, this is highly unacceptable that cricket is being telecasted on 3 channels, and that too the same match, with commentary in the same language.

I request someone to look into the matter.

Thank you.

Kindly do not show one cricket match on 2 different channels. The new zealand sri lanka game is being shown on ss 1&2 while australia afghanistan match is being shown on ss 3 which is a non hd channel. This is a complete waste of money and no common sense from your network. Kindly look into this and show 2 different cricket matches on 2 channels which both provide hd service. Thank you.

I am always watching cricket in star sports1. But, i used mute on in my tv while watching cricket because of very worst commentary. It is not relevant to the match and not professional. Very high standard television not concentrate this kind of commentary especially r j balaji comments it is not common and relevant to the match, he doesn't know about the cricket. Also, i really shocked how srikanth also joined with conversation....

A couple of years back star sports launched star sports select hd channels saying that football would now only be broadcasted on these hd channels. Select hd 1 mainly for epl and select hd 2 mainly for bundesliga. This forced football viewers to subscribe to these 2 hd channels. A year later star sports introduced star sports select sd channels to broadcast football, going back on their word which they gave just a year prior. Today, select hd 2 which is mainly for bundesliga, is not broadcasting live bundesliga matches whereas the sd channel is broadcasting the match. They have played with the viewers, fooling them to subscribe to hd channels when they had no intention of continuing on their promise

The select channels are meant for foreign sports but ipl is on ss select1 everytime while there are 5 other cricket channels. I want to watch more matches of football but time clash with ipl means no footbal or f1. Very poor content distribution.

Please fix this asap. Or there will be many unhappy customers who will switch online streaming services. Not good. India is not only about cricket. At least telecast some meaningful programmes

I love your channels and i like to watch all the sports. But now starsport1, starsport3 and ss select1 you are telecasting only cricket. Don't you think that its bit too much. I don't mean that i don't like cricket but we also want to watch epl

I love watching f1 also, as i cannot effort hd channel i can't watch anymore

So please, provide f1 and epl at sd channel.

My complaint is regarding to Star Sports.
What a total waste. I am football fan, and expecting to watch some decent football after recharging my package with almost all HD channels and of course normal channels. Now they are keeping on increasing number of channels, and adding to the already big list for us to subscribe to their multiple ######## products. I don't wish to watch much of cricket, kabaddi, tennis, badminton, etc. I don't have any complaints with these sports at all. It's that, my taste is football. Waiting a weekend and expecting to see one decent match of a good team and then you get to see that they are showing match of other teams and to get my match, I have to further add, maybe 5 more channels, whereas there are already multiple channels available showing tons of ########S and no live contents, is just good business for star, but mind you, you are just useless telecasting group. Keep your channels to yourself and maybe start showing Saas Bahu serials on the all the bunch of channels, instead of showing some worthy sport contents.
They already have so many channels, and still they want you to buy more. Sometimes, showing matches only in HD. So, I took HD. Now, in HD also they are showing crap, and want us to add select channels. I mean, what is this? Why don't you just stop pretending to be the face of sports channels, and just show tons of worthless old cricket matches, because that is all you guys are worth it, even after adding select HD and all that ######## channels to your list of already 4 star sport channels and what not. Total cheap bunch of group.

Why is it that you are advertising live formula 1 races, but when they are live, all 4 normal & 2 select sports channels are just showing old cricket replay matches.
As it is there is too much cricket on tv in the country. Why are you advertising f1, when you don't have no intentions of showing it, your are just ripping other sport's lover's of their sport's. Don't you know that there is a force india team in formula1, which has a huge following in the country & abroad. So don't rip &fool people with your false advertising.

I am footabll lover and football in india is now an best shining game ever as like an Indian Super League. Due to off season of isl we like to watch EPL English Premier League. BIGGEST league in world and try to become as a footballer as them but the main problem is we cant watch him due to the broadcast. I am MANCHESTER UNITED CLUB FANS i like to watch his watches in TV but least due to hd channels i cant see any of the matches also more than 70% of indian cant watch the EPL SEASON due to not having HD SET UP BOX, HD CHANNELS, ETC . reason but its is very to difficult to change in another set of hd channels. It is a humble request to broadcast the epl season in SD channels or both SD AND HD channels.

Star sports india is fooling there viewers by not showing international sports like f1 on sd channels, even when i upgraded to hd channels they star fooling peoples again by moving f1 races to there select hd channels .this is hilarious that star broadcast isl on there 4 channels. Being an indian company fooling indians is really bad, they are taking advantage on change in broadcasting laws by making people to pay more and more for even free services.

Dear team,

English premier League has a huge fan following in India. But star sports decision to switch it to only on its Select HD channel is depriving us of it. Subscribing to hd is expensive and moreover a lcd led tv will have to be bought. They have enough SD channels but they keep broadcasting old matches instead of the english premier League. This is nothing but an arm twisting tactic employed by the Star network. Please look into the matter and persuade them to broadcast the English premier League on Star sports 4 as before. Thanking in anticipation
