@Andymc2000  after you click on the reply button you need to type @ and you will see a drop down menu of people who have contributed to the thread.  The author of the post you are replying to will be at the top of the list, you then just need to click on it 😀

Alternatively if you want to reproduce the post you are replying to (as I have done above) just select the quote (") button above the message box.

Since when was the red button on Sky HD removed? I've not seen or heard any announcements.

I'm no good with tec, so can I clarify, with an old sky HD box, can I no longer watch or record red button on my box? If I can, could someone please advise how please,in simple terms please

No you can't. 

Customers with Sky+ (with the full sports subscription) will receive the Sky Sports+ Channel (412), but will not have access to the live streams as Sky+ is not compatible with the Sky Sports App.

See the article in the News section at the top of the page

Even though the SKY box doesn't support the new Sky Sports app that is showing the alternative games you can use the app on a mobile device such as iphone/ipad or Android mobile or tablet (but unfortunately not on a desktop)

@Tmik The red button service for Sky+HD boxes was withdrawn a while ago. I don't think Sky made any specific announcement but Sky+ is increasingly a legacy system.

When did this happen? I've seen,heard or read anything about it.  This is all about forcing us to stream,ahead of removal of Ariel based services. What happens to those without internet?

When and where was it announced?

Given internet access of some kind is required for voice telephony once PSTN is switched off, all technology is heading that way.

Past a certain point, providers cannot cater for a diminishing minority of users without losing money, and commercial operations like Sky have no obligation to do so.

Dish-based service, in the case of Sky, but digital terrestrial television received by aerial has a limited remaining lifespan too.

It's been this way all season.

The new system allows for far more games to be shown but, unfortunately, Sky+HD boxes can't show them. They are delivered via the internet to Sky Q boxes and Sky Glass/Stream.

Just haven't been told. The very moment I can't record anything anymore,it's bye bye sky,I've only kept them now because of the reception I get in my area

[Tmik]

You do realise this is not for our benefit don't you?, this is yet another area where it will be "you shall own nothing and be happy" you won't be able to record and store your favourite programme,you will have to keep paying for internet to lease "borrow" from the elites. Me,I'm stock piling old dvds , keep my old TV with HDMI at least,and a few players, for when they stop being sold. Mind,you,I was told 2030, but looking at it, it says by 2040.,I will be too old to care but it also might be that I could not afford to keep a broadband service,so like the current report says,this will impact,older,lower income, disabled (as I am) and rural communities.  It's disgusting and you have all been sucked in by how easy streaming is. What do you think will happen to free streaming services once we have no choice?

Hardly: but personally I can't afford to run my own television broadcast satellite either, which leaves a bit of a gap when the current Astra trio aren't up there any more...

Digital terrestrial has never worked particularly well around here on account of there being a few mountains in the way.

Unfortunately, I have a Sky HD+ box and locked into a SkySports contract until 2027. I can't find on the website how to cancel Sky Sports as I'm thinking NOW TV Sports is the best option for Sky Sports + on my Smart TV. I can't have SkyQ in my flat, nor do I want Sky Glass as I've recently bought a new Smart TV. Nothing on the webside either how to get Sky Stream. Am I stumped?
