Lack of replays/catch up on Sky ports +

[jo999]

I was under the impression that Sky Sports + would give viewers more choice.

The only choice I have is to watch sport live or not at all.  Useful only if the match is in Europe! - and then with no recording ability I can still only watch 1 match.

Does anyone view this as an improvement and/or better value for money?     Grrrrrr...........

It's an improvement in that there are now vastly more games that can be watched live.

Could it be better? Absolutely.

Yes - I see your point.  There are obvous benefits for football fans, for instance.

From my point of view I only watch tennis on Sky Sports, two thirds of matches over the year being outside Europe.  So with no replays/catch up  available, I would often need to be watching in the middle of the night, just to see one match.  I can record channel 520, but often matches are not shown in full, and not my choice.

The lack of replays or on-demand content for the + bonus streams was certainly I complained about alot on this forum when the service first launched. To be fair Sky didn't promote that the service would have this functionality however with the amount of promotion of this "new service" they did do it certainly completely underwhelming when compared with other sporting streaming services like Discovery +. I've always felt the launch of the service was rushed as it needed to be in place for the start of the new football season and the new EFL and League Cup deals Sky had starting.
