Sky did it again

This time and this happened twice in the same day Sky missed off the end of the tennis highlights with Britain Fery playing. It got to 5 games to 4 in the 2nd set and they missed the last two games and the critical tie break. So a mistake not a rights issue. They were trying to show Billie Jean King interview right after but when it hit the advert forgot to finish the Ferry match off. The BBC iplayer in all my years never makes this kind of mistake. I've come across alot of this type of thing with sky. Its unjust to keep doing this to customers without proper communication between parties albeit broadcasters probably being responsible to giving it over to sky. The buck has to stop somewhere. I moved to now tv as I wasn't going to pay for a base tv package and sky sports with this kind of service. Clearly this is why there putting up subscription costs as most who only really want sports are now probably going to now tv due to not wanting to pay for short comings. There is no answer to this by the way until they choose to do things correctly.

Are you watching Sky Sports Tennis or Sky Sports Main Event? It's just there doesn't seem to be any other complaints about this and quite often on here people complain about Sky Sports missing the end of an event, but then it turns out they were watching Main Event rather than the dedicated channel like Sky Sports Tennis or Golf etc where coverage continues until the end of the game.

My friend had the same problem on now tv. It was a replay. The live event was ok. They do it on and off. It's just poor checking on loading it on for people occasionally. Eirosport could do it on occasion as well. It won't obviously happen on live events no. Its a bit slack i find when it happens as the BBC never do that sort of thing. No complaints can often mean we are used to it happening now and then or a sense of helplessness as people no it's unlikely to change anything. I like your positivity though.

Sorry I need to get my facts right. It was highlights re-ran on live TV that had not been double checked as to where the feed should end. My complaints are to warn other people of a potential sky service you get so they see this and learn. If this causes them to be helped and they improve I can retract any ongoing comments.
