I am paying for Sky Sports Action but the channel has disappeared!

I am paying for Sky Sports Action but the channel has disappeared!
I've called sky and taking to a call centre in India and they do not know the answer, said they will call me back!!
Trying to watch the Wigan v HULL KR game tonight (Fri 6th Sept @ 20:00) which is advertised on Sky Sports news as being on Sky Sports Action as well as the new SkySports+ chanell which I cannot get as only have the Sky+ box and cannot get the red buttons programs without broadband connection.
But what has happened to Sky Sports Action which I am paying extra for as part of my signature package!?
Sky Chat is unavailble for some reason and the call centre in India has no clue either!!??

hi @costablanca 

 

SKY Sports Actin is no longer and has been replaced by SKY Sports+

 

If you subscribed to SKY SPorts Action as a single sports channel then I believe you should have received an email detailing what would be happening and options going forward.. 

 

Are you able to check if you received such an email ?

 

SKY Sports + is a mixture of a single Linear channel and the use of the SKY Sports app to stream alternative games but to use it you need the full Sports pack and, as they are streamed, a suitable internet connection.

I though Sky Sports Arena changed to Sky Sports+ HD and Sky Sports Action recently changed to Sky Sports NFL HD? 

edit:

Tuesday 3rd September 2024

  • Sky Sports Action (Satellite 408/865 – Sky Glass/Stream 408) rebrands to SkySp NFL/SkySp NFL HD (temporary change)

Re: I am paying for Sky Sports Action but the channel has disappeared!

Thanks for your reply... No email has been received.
Thanks and what a shame they want extra 22 pounds a month just for me to watch the odd rugby league game which was shown as part of my signature package a few weeks ago!
I have no interest in other sports.
I cannot take advantage of the SKYSPORTS+ channel as the red button (where the majority of rugby league matches are shown) is only an option if you have broadband, which I do not.
What askame we cannot have a dedicated Rugby channel for League and Union, like other sports, now that would be worth paying extra for!

Oops sorry to many 'A's

 

Although @costablanca I think that the Rugby is now limited with the changes mantioned regarding the launch of SKY Sports +  - there have been a few discussions regarding Rugby coverage

 

Edit : the Wigan / Hull Game is on the new SPorts+ linear channel but I am not sure you will be able to access it

I believe that the email contained a very favourable offer price to upgrade to the full Sports Package so that you could still watch the content on the new linear channel.
