@CHUCKY1 You might get the linear channel (this is yet to be confirmed though) but not the extra streams and additional features without using the sky sports mobile app

Sky+ isn't included in Sky's article here: https://www.skygroup.sky/en-gb/article/introducing-sky-sports-giving-more-choice-to-sports-fans-via-live-streams-and-a-new-dedicated-channel-at-no-extra-cost

"Once live, customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won’t need to do a thing; Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW."

But that might simply be because Sky+ is a legacy platform which doesn't feature in Sky's news articles....

It's because Sky+ boxes are not capable of receiving the streams for the new sports service.

The article says there will be a linear channel too.

@theredhouse55555 Only the linear channel 412 from Thursday

for the additional streams you need to use the sky sports app for mobile devices only

@theredhouse55555 That's correct it won't be on smart TVs (the only exception being sky glass or sky stream linked to a standard smart tv or now tv box linked to a standard smart tv)

the other alternative is to upgrade to sky Q

According to this "Once live, customers with a full Sky Sports subscription won’t need to do a thing; Sky Sports+ will simply drop into the existing Sky experience, across Sky Glass, Sky Stream, Sky Q, and NOW" ... any device with the NOWTV app wil be supported NOT only now tv boxes🤔

@saint83 no it doesn't, all additional streams are accessible through the app only

Re: sky sports +

saint83 — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:38:40 GMT

Ok thanks, That's rather annoying as I just use the SkyHD box set up.

Re: sky sports +

caesarome — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:41:54 GMT

Do you have a phone or a tablet as you can install the Sky Sports app on it which will allow you to access these extra streams.

Re: sky sports +

saint83 — Sun, 04 Aug 2024 18:47:07 GMT

Oh yes I have the Sky Go so can watch through that, just it be more convenient to watch through the tv channel if the was a red button option.

It is the Sky Sports app you need to install and use for this as you will only get access to the Sky Sports+ channel via the Sky Go app.
