Does it matter if channels are available on 921/922?

@Neil+Essex Sky do jot appear to have made the switch as yet, I assume they are still testing.

I've noticed at times these channels can stutter a bit at times so I imagine they are definitely not 100% ready as yet to go on the main channels list

Not quite sure how you know that as Sky don't generally publicise release dates, they just release comms once things are live.

Again not sure how you know previously what any release intentions were for the Sky product roadmap, as they don't make any of that public.

@MarkGoldsmith , I have found that @Exiled-in-HH is a complete wind up merchant, using emoji's to troll. All he seems to post about is the benefit of NOW TV. Not sure what benefit he really brings to this message board.

@D+Hig @Yes see that 921 and 922 are now on the tv guide, my guess is that will now be linked to a red button facility that will be offered via the two sky sports main events channels. Good spot

I just got lucky to be honest with you 😆

Re: Sky Sports Main Event Low Latency

IWTD — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 20:28:13 GMT

921/922 have been on the tv guide for over a week if not closer to ten days.

Watching the match this evening I notice it still has no red button option, and when switching to 401 to get the recap up it now forces you into the + app to use it and hence no UHD option, a you know what( to get past the censors) and a brewery is what comes to mind with anything involving Comcast.

Sky frequently made press releases with release intentions in the past🤔

A bit of patience is required ... Sky often get there in the end😉

Must admit watching the Man Utd game tonight I was impressed with delay on 922 low latency uhd . I was no more than 7 seconds behind real time . Even satellite was roughly 10 secs when I was on sky q

Yeah completely agree- impressive latency on UHD 922 but the sound is out of sync at times and the quality of the picture simply isn't as sharp as UHD 901.

Really hope they nail it as the latency reduction is an absolute game changer for live sport streaming.

@SKYLJM The sound is in sync for me and the 4k sharpness is exactly the same on CH922
