In case anyone else had not spotted it, I went searching for coverage details and saw this. The link is to the SkyGo page, and you can register if you don't have the app. Good one Sky :)

Watch for free

I saw it mentioned on Cheapies earlier this week that Australia's Channel 9 coverage can be sourced gratis via a VPN; not sure how much more comprehensive this may be than Sky's free offerings and it's likely to be Aus-heavy, but it still may be worth checking out.

Anyone else getting a “No connection available” on SkySportsNow over WiFi - works fine on mobile?

I have had no issues. Do you have a VPN, or something that might affect it?

I paid the $30 with the discount posted here and am very pleased I did. Every time I try SkyOpen, it's ads or more ads. I also found what they are covering really odd. Yesterday's Breakfast briefing was all Aussie teams.

What is the best way to determine when a particular event is running in NZT. For example, when are the quarters of the Womens Rugby 7's?

@networkn Go here: https://olympics.com/en/paris-2024/schedule

Then clicking on let's you do some decent filtering. Use the 'All NOCs' dropdown to select you country of preference.

New Zealanders, on average, have one testicle.

Another possible reference https://www.sky.co.nz/discover/sky-sport/olympics#schedule

There is a PDF to download with an excellent summary/timetable.
And it definitely contains the info you were asking about.

Tue 30 Jul @ 5:50am
Final: Wed 31 Jul @ 12:20am
