Fair comment @willia you can record the Rugby League but not every match.

Correct me if I'm wrong Rugby Super League season starts February to September with 27 Rounds with the Final taking place in October 

Even the SuperLeagueplus app @£19:99 per month doesn't have a recordable option as it is streamed Live like the SkySportsplus app

I was told categorically by Sky, their cancellation dept, that nothing would change with the new system. Based on that I renewed my contract. It's simply not a better service than before. I will watch the rest of the season but then cancel as I was misold the package.

Have just emailed this to customer services at Betfred:

I don't know whether you are aware of the furore that is going on with Sky Super League viewers about the ruination of watching Super League on Sky.

Prior to the introduction of Sky Sports + streaming, Sky Q viewers could record all six matches. Since streaming was introduced, only two matches are available for recording. 

The Sky strapline was to the effect of "every match screened live". This is fundamentally true but you cannot watch 3 matches streamed live at the same time and now cannot record those missed matches.

This has diminished the experience of watching the BetFred Super League and also ensured that match attending supporters cannot see any of the other matches played at that time. The only highlights available are of six or so minutes duration with the score shown on the initiating screen.

Many RL viewers are contemplating ditching their Sky subscriptions.

Communication with Sky viewers help site by e-mail elicits a standard, platitudinous response.

@graceland22 I totally agree - in fact commentators still say "watch every game" which is not possible since they hide a number on sky sports+

And this doesn't work because

a. You only have an household with one tv?

b. You have literally no other devices that you can install the SkySports/SkySports+/Sky Go app on to

Strange cause SuperLeague+ which is a streaming app claim that you can watch up to three games at once🤔

I don't have a superleague+ subscription only TNT Sports and Sky Sports Complete

Sky Q in storage at the moment 

Last nights viewing all streamed through different apps and devices

Salford v Leigh  SkySports+ app Samsung Z3 Fold

Bristol Bears v Gloucester TNT Sports Ultimate Firetvstick 

Dortmund v Bochum Sky Sports Mix Firetablet Sky Go

I have cancelled  my sky sports and I was in contract .told them not happy with what they have done to rugby league fans.its a joke.never got charged as they know what they have done is wrong

I am off at the end of the RL season also, never watch football and the RL deal has dropped 50% without the same cut in my subs

[Raider999]

I have been watching the N Zealand NPC rugby union games, competition has reached the quarter finals this weekend. 

Only 1 of the 4 games is recordable - 1 that can't be recorded is a 2.30 am kick-off.

Who is going to get up to watch that live?

[Lexie22]

This is a rubbish service for RL fans if SKY dont want to cover the sport properly and do it justice they should let other broadcasters buy the rights to the sport.sky show the exact same sport on 2 channels at the same time Football Tennis Golf  yet cant or wont let us watch RL without having to view this second rate offering on Sky+. It should be called more Sky minus.

[OldGrumpy]

What's the betting coverage improves soon as the football season ends?

[OldGrumpy]

Sky service really is going downhill rapidly!

Now it seems we can no-longer email them directly but have to raise everything through their website.

Can't help wondering what service they will cut next?

[Lexie22]

I agree with all thats been said today sky are not interested in RL viewers compaints as i have tried to speak to a human being for several years to complain about the far too many replays of non important instances during live play, ive sent several e-mails but never get a proper reply. I have signed up with TNT now and although ime a RL fan first and foremost i me sick of being treated shabbily when it comes to all this rubbish they tell us about watch every game live, its impossible as we all know for the reasons stated by other RL viewers.

[OldGrumpy]

For all the good it will do I've submitted this:

Looking back at last season Super League was shown on Sports Action, Arena, Mix and at times on Main Event. All of which could be recorded.
Now it seems to be consigned to Sports+ with no ability to record the games.
Looking at your listing on Sunday 16/2/25 you have 2 channels showing the same Premiership football, 2 showing the same Bundesliga football, 2 showing the same tennis tournament with Super League hidden away on Sky+.
It's almost as though you're paying lip service to the sport which in previous years and during the summer months, you promote heavily.
Please stop treating us like we don't matter and get at least one game back onto one of the main channels so we at least have the option of recording it when unable to be home to watch it live.

I hjave ditched TNT -£30 per month, as there is a huge vacuum of rugby union to watch during the 6 nations and the Champions Cup

( which they lost to Premier Sports) with no reduction in cost.

I have gone to Premier Sports - £10.99 per month on Sky and the app for Win PC and android phone - all recordable on Sky.

Loads of matches to watch.  Leinster schools Cup ( the standard is exceptional for schoolboys), RU Champions Cup, URC and Top 14, Repeats and a highlights package for each. 

Having to juggle the matches to watch for the Super Leaague on SKY is a pain. Thank goodness the NRL is firing up and I hope SKY still get the SuperRugby etc.
