Watching sport in delay on Stream.

I'm about to move home, possibly from a v6 box to the stream service. My main concern about not being able to record is sport. Do both SKY and TNT allowed a delayed start to all sport? Could I start watching a final game, from the start, 30 minutes or hours after the real KO time?

    If your new property is in an old VM area, you should be able to take your kit with you, including the V6.  It should just be a "Move and Transfer" with no contract change.  If it's a new Nexfibre XGS-PON area, then it will have to be a stream box only.

  • Yes and it works very well on those sports channels. TNT has been expanded to cover all their sport as far as I can see this season which wasn't the case last season.

    The exceptions are the two part time Sky Sports UHD channels [albeit the sport on them is on another channel in HD], Sky Racing, and of course the channels / sport not on the EPG.

    If you going to use it, choose the channel from the EPG and you can go straight to the start, and it is quick then to go forward to kick-off if that is what you want to do. If you change to a live channel directly, of course you see the current score before going back to the start, so try to remember not to do that.

    The delayed start goes back as far as a week.

    If important to you, note that the UHD sports channels don't carry Dolby Atmos on Stream, unlike the V6.

    [Note you've posted in the TV on the Go section rather than the Stream section, but from what you have posted, I assume you are talking about the latter].

      Thank you, you've allayed some of my concerns, I frequently watch sport a few hours behind the real start and this could have been a stopper for me.

      Apologies for being in the wrong section, not sure how I ended up in the Go section, it was stream that I was asking about.
