@Fatali 

Are you a Sky+ box customer or do you have Sky Q ?

[Oddie2004]

I t was and has been made clear that it would not be available for HD+customers ever since they announced the launch so you obviously could not be bothered to read it or just like to moan.Why not address your issues directly to Sky.

The move to newer services is fine. However, my angst is about Sky's complete lack of transparency about the new service not being available to over 3 million loyal Sky customers who as a consequence also lost access to the ability to follow their football team live as iFollow has been jettisoned by the EFL.

I don't remember Sky+ being mentioned at all in the pre-launch advertising. Which would be expected as it's a legacy platform.

Sky have been reducing their DSat capacity requirements .... they will continue to do this until DSat closure is completed🤔

Streaming allows greater control over content to broadcasters😉

I can't get the Middlesborough match on, is this because my sky box is quite old? 

[Deborah45]

So annoyed, subscribed to a rolling contract last week, so my boys can watch NFL live games  this weekend. Only to find we can not access it as we have a Sky +HD box. At no time did they say we would not be able to view the game of our choice. So now have to have a Sky Q box but that cannot be installed until September.

So frustrated.🤨😟

Iff go you have a Sky+ box @Brian253 then you are correct as you box doesn't do the streaming of these additional

matches.

They can be viewed in a phone or tablet via the Sky Sports app.

[Mark39]

Sky will assume you know what you're subscribing to uinless you ask questions specific to your requirements.

Whilst I can access the Sky Sports App and therefore Sky Sports Plus on a phone and tablet, although I have the Sky Sports App on my Windows PC, when I try to log in it says Access Denied.  Does this mean I can't get Sky Sports Plus on my PC?

@PR3 correct unfortunately the Sky sports+ app is not available for PC or Laptop

Indeed  - in fact this Community news story does  specifically highlight the limitations on SKY +

hi @Deborah45 

I know this may not be the same as on a TV but, assuming this on SKY SPorts + live streams then you can watch them on an ipad or andorid tablet (or phones) using the SKY sports app

Can’t get red button option on sky +hd box. On sky sports + channel

[SKY1992bf]

@Andy+Oldhan  because the functionality is not available via sky plus boxes 

you can still watch via the Sky Sports mobile app via mobile devices (phone and tablet ) but not pc laptop or Mac

hi @Andy+Oldhan 

Unfortunately the red button on SKY Sports + relies on the SKY SPorts app that SKY HD can't host.

If you want to watch an alternate  game you should be able to watch on a iphone/ipad or android phone/tablet  using the SKY Sports app (unfortunately not on a desktop)
