@Chloe-W22 I'll observe that sky sports are still currently advertising tonight's super league game as being on arena not sports plus linear channel just before 8am this morning, not sure if it's been updated since 

edit as of 10am still advertising as arena on the bottom on screen scroll

Yes its still showing on the main TV guide as the old channel, but if you click into it, then its the new channel. The other way you can see the new name, is when you go to the sports tab at the top of the home menu, and then to sport, and then to guide, it comes up with the new name. It has also swapped on Sky Go. It just hasnt changed the name on the main TV guide, but apparently it will do by 6pm

Yes mine too, the linear Sky Sports + channel, 410, appeared on Sky Stream just after 1pm for me, without doing any kind of puck device restart.

[Super+Anthony]

Exactly the same for me. There is only one question I would raise to Sky on those very help guides. When pressing the red button on any of the Sports channels, I think it will only work when there is an event in the background. It wont be all the time? @lettice

That maybe the case.

On stream being the four coloured buttons (aka red button term).

But then it may not always show, even when an event is available for that specific sports genre channel. The prompt is timed to go off from the screen after a time.

It will not harm hitting the button though, it will do it or not, if available.

You can always manually open the app on Sky Stream as well if the interactive button prompt isn't available at that time on a particular channel.

Thanks both of you. It just helps especially being neurodivergent having that logo on and knowing there is something on in the background, that's all

Another good way, is just say 'tennis', 'golf' 'football' '>your football team<' (like Leeds or Portsmouth), 'Championship', 'league one', 'league two' and the like into your sky remote. 

This will bring up a rail showing the live matches on now or upcomg (with start times) that will open the linear channel or open the stream within the Sky Sports + app.

Or to get same rail got to Sports and pan down for each Sports section.

Up to now I'm very disappointed with the new channel as there is no option to record Super League games now. Why isn't the pause/rewind available for these matches? I pay a fortune to Sky each month and have done for 25+ years and now feel like I'm getting less for my money.

[Neil18354]

Andrew, I agree it is a poor service, I can't even get either of tonight's matches.  The red button does nothing.

looks like I shall have to cancel my subscription
