When I try to watch Chess.com TV, it says I need Diamond Membership.

I currently have Platinum, and on the Membership list it says Platinum has unlimited access to Chess.com TV.

It would be quite unfair if I was required to have Diamond Membership.

Well I like to watch Chess.com TV, and according to the Membership page, I should be able to watch it. If they want to change things, they better let me have the same features as before at least until my membership ends.

Schachkaempfer

No, what part of "it is only for Diamond members" do you not understand?

@Schachkaempfer Chess TV is currently listed as a benefit for both platinum and diamond members. http://www.chess.com/membership?c=icon

SOMETIMES, it says that it's only available to Diamond members but most of the time, it's available to both Platinium and Diamond.

The membership pages describes the plantinum member's use of chess.com tv as "unlimited." It would be nice if we could hear from a staff member the offical status of platinum members' access to chess.com tv. If we no longer have access to the feature, I will downgrade to gold or simply cancel my subscription. I am a big fan of chess.com tv.

CSBFXE

It looks like it might be a glitch since the Chess.com TV screen says the feature is limited to "Diamond Members and above." Seeing as how a diamond membership is the highest membership offered, the statement doesn't seem to make sense.

I don't understand this either. I would like to add my support to the other platinum members here. It is clearly listed as 'unlimited' on the membership page. I hope it is just a bug but it would be nice to know for sure.

Hey guys, sorry about that. I've fixed it now and it should be showing properly again.

CSBFXE

Thanks!

Thank you

         I think the TV benefit is for paying members, but sometimes certain SHOWS are only avalable to diamond. This is true with Dan Heisman.
