Thanks for your reply, that doesnt list Sky + HD boxes so assume that means we wont get it, which they didnt tell us when we added the Sky Sports package last week .

Guess we will cancel under the 30 day cooling off period

@Diane+555

Sky Sports+ will only be available to subscribers on Sky Q, Sky Glass or Stream. It's mentioned about 2/3 of the way down this article on the Community News page

Yes thats what i just posted before you replied Daniel, doesnt look like we'll get it which defeats the reason to get the package. We can cancel as theres a 30 day cooling off period

I wouldn't necessarily make that assumption. Sky+HD boxes may not be specifically mentioned simply because Sky+is a legacy platform which Sky no longer markets. You might want to check,with Sky.

No, it's not solely a streaming service. There's a linear channel too.

The channel probably yes but as already advised @Diane+555 you will not be able to view the streaming part of the new service.

@Diane+555 an example follows

there could be 12 championship games on at the same time but you will only be able to watch the one being shown on the linear channel on your sky plus box but none of the others (unless you watch via the sky sports app on a mobile device)
