Is Sky Sports+ a downgrade?

Now it appears that I must choose a game to watch and have no way to record the other games. Is that correct?

This is correct @JohnH39 as there have been plenty of people on here discussing this. If you want to let Sky know what you think about this new service then you can do so via this email address - viewerR@sky.uk

Fully agree..the same situation.

When matches were on the live platform channel every game could be watched later...this is a poor retrograde step that needs addressing asap.

[Raider999]

Friday's matches weren't 

[Jonhailsham]

Should have said recorded games to watch later on Arena but cannot behind the red button.Fuming.

[Raider999]

@JohnH39  correct, not only that the full matches are not available to stream after they have finished.

So much for the much vaunted new service!

I read somewhere that the BBC had bought the rugby League rights for the next 3 years as this is the only sport my husband follows there will be no games on sky does anyone know if this is correct?

No, the BBC have the rights to show 15 matches (10 on TV, 5 on iPlayer) similar to the limited rights Channel 4 had for the last few years. The deal is already in place and includes this season and the next two.

@xenon81 just tried this but only have 1 row titled 'Latest news and highlights'

Nothing else and no sight of any catch-up at all let alone full game replays

[Raider999]

@Yog62 agree with the super league but don't want NRL games on the stream - who wants to get up really early in the morning to watch live?

The whole thing is a shambles and a retrograde step.

If this is what happens on Glass etc I will never move to it. If and when Q stops working I will cancel my whole subscription

I'm not at home at the moment so can't check on the Sky Q box but the full catch ups are all still listed on the Sky Go app on my phone, so they should be available on the box too. I'll check later and let you know. 

Download gives the option to "Download to Box".

I've checked now and they're still available. Press the Home button, scroll down to Sport, select Rugby League, then scroll down to Catch-Up (it's the third row down, under Upcoming Matches, and Latest News). 

This is on the main Sky menu and not within Sky Sports+.

 I'm a F1 fan so not impacted by SkySports+ I also like to follow my PL football team they are playing this Saturday like other PL teams but unlike Rugby League no matches are available via Skysports PL or Skysports football as they are all on at 3pm

Apart from one match at 5:30pm 

I'll watch rugby but it's not my first choice.

Hi

as rugby league fan sky sports + has made a balls of it, I watched a game yesterday I had to go on the red button,

* can't record any of the other matches 

* as soon as the game had ended so did the program no feed back on the game from coaches or man of the match 

there's one thing for sure live premier football won't be on this channel football fans won't stand for it

I requested a cancelation as they changed the terms and conditions, they accepted and no penalty.
