These were readily available on demand for those who wanted their golf or f1 fix

Re: Football encroaching everywhere!!
Perhaps worth noting that F1 rights cost Sky around two hundred million pounds a season and the Premiership is around ten times that price at over two billion pounds....

I don't either, I tune it at whatever the kick off time is, channels surf at halftime then tune back in for the second half as I have no interest whatsoever of what these "experts" are saying. It goes without saying I don't watch the build up or the after match reaction.
Neither do I

Re: Football encroaching everywhere!!
Even when the Championship team I follow are on live I switch on/over 5-10 mins before kick off and off/over 5 or so mins after the final whistle.

Because it was live on demand is for content that has already been broadcast live

What about the red button then? That shows live stuff.

Agreed, Syk Sports+ with the red button gives at least parallel streams, so why the need to steal other channels.
The three or four football channels with red buttons would give at lease 12 football stream.

Then customers with sky plus hardware would miss out because the hardware doesn't support red button functionality anymore
