Sky Sports+ missing fixtures

Tuning in

Anyone know how to watch all the available matches on Sky Sports+ on Virgin? I'm not seeing the Newcastle vs AFC Wimbledon EFL Cup 3rd round fixture in the list (see attachment).

As a result I'm forced to use my subscription link to the Sky Sports mobile app and watch on mobile but would very much prefer to watch on the TV (screen streaming is blocked by app too...)

Hi @matthalion 

There's only a small selection of the additional streams available via red button on the V6 box.  Sky and VM are working on updating the V6 red button app at some point in the future (no date given)

If you want to see the full range of additional streams before then you need to migrate to the TV360 box.

There's a pinned post at the top of this forum <here> which currently advises which additional red button games are available on the V6.

If you sign into the Sky Sports mobile app using your VM credentials then you can watch all of the additional red button feeds. If you have an android tablet or phone you might be able to miracast the stream.

The current arrangement with Sky for V6 boxes uses a highly compressed satellite feed to provide the Red Button games. As a result the capacity is restricted to a maximum of 6 streams at less than "standard" SD quality. An app to pull these streams from Sky via the internet in HD is in development, but with no timeframe for release.
