When will the commentators start commentating on the match we're watching instead of chatting about everything but. ?
I've turned the sound off yet again .

@Hilary45

They probably have lots of time to fill between points as some players tend to bounce the ball about 25 times before throwing it in the air.

You could email your thoughts to the Viewer Relations Team at viewerR@sky.uk

@Daniel0210 I know the link you gave is a useful service for certain issues to do with Sky, but I'm curious. What exactly do you think they are going to be able to do to help the OP in this case?

It's a quick and low friction method of getting in contact with Sky, which stands at least some chance of making a point of view known to the appropriate editor or production team. Whether that has any actual impact is of course an entirely different matter: multiple instances of such feedback would hopefully carry more weight.

@Mr+Ripley

They can potentially pass the thoughts of the OP to the relevant commentating team. That's not to say that will happen on the back of one customers view.

@Daniel0210 Okay, fair enough. I didn't realise they did things like that as well, I thought they only dealt with programme issues, such as missing episodes & downloads not working, that sort of stuff.

@TimmyBGood "It's a quick and low friction method of getting in contact with Sky ". That's a new one on me, not heard that phrase before, what does it mean?

@Mr+Ripley

Compared to, say, writing a letter.

I did write to viewer relations about a series I particularly enjoyed (as well as 2 or 3 series linked to it) and sky history and as part of their response, they said

your feedback has been sent to the Sky History channel for their information.
