Sky sport + matches tonight

Thanks for the reply. I did and it misses out today … the 22nd. 
Any idea where this is listed please?

Hi mewappollo, thanks I am aware. Just found out the Fleetwood match isn’t being shown. A disappointed grand father again. 
poor service IMHO. Why can’t the games be listed?

The Forum ModTeam do update the pinned thread with details of the upcoming live Championship feeds that will be available on the tivo and V6 boxes. It will have been an oversight that the details of tonight's games weren't published there.

why can’t all the games be available via red button and/or laptop?

Sky's own customers with Sky+ or Sky HD+ (and VM's tivo and V6 customers) that have a full sports subscription receive the new Sky Sports+ Channel, but do not have access to the live streams as the boxes are not compatible with the Sky Sports App which runs on those boxes. 

VM have indicated that they are working with Sky to bring the full red button feeds to the V6 boxes at some future point, however no date has been given.  The older tivo boxes will never get that update. 

So it's basically either make do with the cut down SD feeds that the legacy tivo and V6 boxes can show, (the legacy Sky+ boxes can't even get those feeds) and wait for the app feed to become available on the V6, or switch to VM's 360/Stream box or to Sky Q, Sky Glass, Sky Stream or NowTV.

As to showing the additional red button feeds on computers/laptops, that is a Sky decision and they aren't even available to direct Sky customers by that method either.

Thanks again newappollo,

Is it possible the VM team also consider non-championship games in what is chosen to be aired?

The service is sold as showing so many games from L1 & L2 and I suspect the reality is these team will rarely be shown on o V6 boxes on busy match days as it’s all about viewing figures rather than providing the full service being advertised. Mis-selling is a strong term but I’d be really annoyed if I’d upgraded to Sky via VM and this was the poor service actually received. 
I’ll consider getting a 360 upgrade but this won’t help my 90 year old family manger who simply won’t want to learn how to operate a new box or fiddly remote. 
It simplifies the choice for me long term and it’s not VM. 
Cheers

Bryan

You have to bear in mind that you do not have the Sky Sports + app on TiVO /V6 & never will. What you do have is a basic extension service that uses a highly compressed satellite feed to give access to up to maximum 5 games. The more games carried the worse the quality of the feed. This is purely aimed at EFL Championship matches & a few others. All the other content is internet delivered by an app that is only available on the Horizon platform boxes (V360 & Flex). Sky want to turn off the satellite facility eventually, so are developing an app that will pull the content now provided by satellite from the internet in HD. That is the only modification Sky are giving us on the older platform boxes.

I would also point out as stated in previous posts that Sky’s own customers with older technology boxes are being treated the same. You are paying for the broadcast channels. The additional content is seen as a “perk” of having more modern equipment. For example, anyone that still has a 2G talk & text mobile phone is paying for data services even if they don’t use them now. To access them you need to buy the appropriate modern 4G phone.

Hi padlew,

Maybe, the feeds worked OK for me, I just wasn’t interested in the content. 
maybe a separate call to tech support for yourself would get a quicker response from VM?

cheers, Bryan
