Behodar: Well this is Geekzone so hopefully someone's done a bit-perfect digital dump of it :)

And that's what I've done 😉

@Krispkiwi Just doing some conversion for you but should have it your way soon.

Edit: it doesn’t look like they put the game on? I’ve got a female game recorded.

Weird, I checked it on Sky Go overnight which had it on 50. Is Sky select channel 50 for you?

This was done via Sky Go this round but didn't look like it aired.

I got up and recorded it via screen recording on sky go so it did play but I did wake up late at 3am and then scrolled back in the coverage to then start from the beginning so I'm not 100% sure on the exact time it started.

A direct stream pull probably has a better quality than screen recording though.

I got it recorded and looks like the correct game.

What would you like me to do with it @KrispKiwi ?

The raw file is 7.55GB.

Sure, will upload to OneDrive now and DM you the link.

You happy with it as is, the raw transport stream file? VLC and the video player in Windows seem to play it fine.

Different broadcasts on Sky Go vs the satellite, which is what I recorded it from. 😆
