I'm wondering whether to fork out for a subscription to watch a bit more of LIHS than is on the BBC and maybe to watch some other competitions through the year but I am not sure which has most or which offers the best experience.

I don't want to be restricted to live only, I would like to be able to catch up on the action later.

I know Badminton and Burghley have their own service these days so I won't get those but what about everything else?

Any advice?

Horse & Country is great, lots of extra stuff to watch on there as well as the live streams - masterclasses, training, interviews, yard tours etc. And all the lives are usually available on demand afterwards as well. If your main interest is eventing then they livesteam a lot - I think this year I've watched Luhmulen, Pau, Maryland, Blenheim, Hartpury, Osberton, Burgham etc.

Eventing is my main interest but I like a bit of dressage and could do with following the SJ a bit more to see what my young relative is up to!

I like the fact you can watch H&C on Amazon though

Watching on Amazon is very hit and miss though, and don't think anything live goes through there either.

I've had both, but never for longer than a month. CMH is more Europe based for sure with limited eventning, H&C has had some good three day events at 4* and 5* level, but have seen people moan about quality.

H&C is a terrible service with a million glitches, but it is probably better for eventing. The supporting content is pretty awful, with the occasional little gem
I much, much prefer CMH and there is a tonne more to watch, but it is pricey and doesn’t get the big 5*s. It does get the championships (Euros and worlds) and things like Aachen.

H&C is very glitchy, but I do subscribe as my main interest is in eventing. I swear at it a lot, though, due to the glitches.

Based on my free trial CMH is excellent, but it is more for the dedicated watcher of multiple disciplines than for the occasional viewer, which is what I am. It’s not worth the annual subscription for me.

CMH is definitely a higher class service. H&C drives me potty sometimes but is probably the better one for number of relative events to watch.
