Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

I don't (yet), but looking at @stevecase51 's post above, it looks like for this year all non-Sky picks are available to wacth live and then on demand shortly after broadcast. The Sky picks can be watched on demand in full after 10pm on the following Monday. So you should be able to watch all games in full, though not all live and not all matches on demand right away. It also seems that while you can pause live games, like Sports+, you can't continue to watch the live stream after the end of the game, but presumably if you had to pause a live game on Super League+ and didn't manage to finish watching before the end of the stream, you would be able to continue from where you got up to using on demand.

As I said, I personally don't have a subscription, but it does seem to be more comprehensive than what we are getting with Sky now, but not as comprehensive as what we had prior to Sports+ launching...

Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

I presume you mean sky sports plus,  yes, I have it and it doesn't replace what we've lost, there are now only 2 live games on linear (sky) channels, the other 4 are live streamed on SP+, this means you can only record the 2 games or watch them on catchup whereas we used to be able to do this with all 6 games, the other 4 must be watched live, a bit difficult when games share the same kick off time, also all my recorded games on arena have disappeared. There are now 1000 football matches on, good luck to them but it doesn't help us.

No he means SuperLeague + which is different.  Please read back some posts.  As a gent has asked SL+ a lot of good questions.

As a PL fan as well as F1 not all football matches are streamed live or televised especially matches played at 3pm on a Saturday you have heard of the 3pm football blackout @Leo 

So this coming Saturday and Sunday Magic Weekend all games for rugby League are on Sky Sports Action unlike the  football this Saturday I've counted 55 matches that are unavailable to stream or watch Live due to the 3pm blackout

This is the case for most Saturday's for matches scheduled at 3pm.

It doesn't help the football fans either

Unless my PL team is playing midweek or after 5:30pm on a Saturday only radio commentary for me 🤣🤣

Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

Magic weekend is a one off, all 6 games are played on the same ground, it wouldn't make sense for sky to split the games between linear and streaming, it's back to normal next week, whichever way you look at it, it's a much poorer service than a couple of weeks ago.

Superleague streamed games are not available on demand, to quote the supermarket ad "when it's gone, it's gone"

Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

Sorry, I'd never heard of superleague plus before, is it anything to do with sky or can it be purchased separately without a sky subscription  ?

Sky Sports + has done nothing for me too. I watch the super league and did have arena and action and could watch or record all 6 games. This weekend I can watch 0. Only option is pay more money and upgrade.  Ridiculous

None of the streamed games are available on catch up, live only.

The only highlights and catchup are sky linear channel games, magic weekend, none from SSplus streaming, we had all six games every  week previously, able to record them all, down to two now.

Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

Definitely won't be forgetting this.  I've been on the phone (again) to Sky having a good rant.  The guy promised to relay my concerns to the powers that be but basically nothing they can do.  I've just emailed them but not holding out for a positive response.   Not happy.  My team play on Friday,  on the useless app again!!

Re: Sky sports plus, rugby league .

What can you upgrade to in order to watch/record all superleague games?
