You can really understand with every passing day why piracy is on the rise..

 

skys tactics to get people off Q is working.

 

the trouble for them is these customers are not going to Glass, Stream or NOW but to illegal means of obtaining live streans and archive content. 

if only sky had a way of connecting with and discussing what their customer base wants


@seandrews how is this a tactic to get you off Sky Q when Sky Q has the same channel as stream has the same app as stream and has the same access as Sky stream to  Sports+ in addition least channel 412 can be recorded on Sky Q which is more than can be said for stream they may be able to cloud record it 


I may be a Sky Superuser but I am still just a Sky customer

Re: Sky Sports + What a scam for rugby fans!!

Perhaps scam is not the right word. All season sky sports have been flogging the fact that you can watch every game on sky sports, now you can't. Tonight there are 2 games being shown, both on the red button, as I can only watch live, there is 1 game I will not see. In the past I could record it and watch it later. But worse is, if my team is being shown on the red button and I have to be away from home I have no way of seeing them.

Re: Sky Sports + on Sky Q

Well my fingers are crossed all the same, although I can see it as Sky yet again trying to re invent the wheel by making it squarer! It certainly seems to have been 80% created for the football market, but apart from F1, Rugby League and Darts I don't really watch any other sport so if it's going to be the case I can see me getting rid altogether.

 

Thanks for your response 👍

SkySports Action is a recordable channel

Re: Sky Sports + on Sky Q

I know, hence why I've set Leeds/Wigan to record, and recorded St Helens/Salford last night. Can't set to record the other four matches as they're on Sports+ and just say "upcoming". 20:00 tonight on Sky Sports Action is "Best Of NFL". 

 

Maybe I'm missing something but unless the matches are available on demand after the event I really can't see the plus side to it.

Re: Recording more than 1 live match through the red button

Just goes to show what SKY thinks of it's customers. OK if you're into football, they bend over backwards for you then. 

Rugby League? Nah! Minority sport so sod them! 

We'll show all games live on our channels!

So where are the Women's Super League games?

Taking us for mugs yet again!

Super league

I like to record other games that are on at the same time as the one I'm watching and watch them later, now unable to do this due to being on sky sports+, also games in red button are streamed so any interference with internet connection causes it to buffer, also no build up to majority of games, paid my subscription for the rugby league games really as I enjoy watching all which I am now unable to do, anyone agree with my comments?

If you have a Sky +HD box (where you've posted) I suspect you can't even watch tonight's games let alone record them. It is possible, though, that Super League games will be able to be downloaded from On Demand after they have ended.

Re: Super league

Sky advertise that Sky Sports + is free to full Sky Sports subscribers and you do not have to do anything.  So why can I not watch tonight's Super League matches.  Pressing the red button does nothing.

Re: Recording more than 1 live match through the red button

@OldGrumpy a totally agree...I was phone tonight asking about this stupid live crap and the guy kept insisting we could record and was doing everything he said and there is no option except "watch live"..I have sent an email to the complaints department but as we all know nothing will be done about it.

 

We are just RL fans so a minority compared to the football fans.Even though they are still quick enough to take our money every month.

Hi @MarkyFletcher27 

You may be aware that BBC will have the Broadcasting rights for Rugby League in the future.

ie

BBC Sport has secured a first of its kind three-season deal with Rugby League Commercial to broadcast live Super League matches. Super League fans across the UK can watch more live rugby league than ever before with 15 live matches set to be broadcast throughout the season across free-to-air platforms.
