In my opinion the best review show is the 90 min The weekend wrap it’s live at 8am every Monday Morning,

My only hope is that once the new Sky Box comes out we’re able to record 4 channels at the same time, a real buggar at present on a Sunday morning meaning you’re only able to record 3 of the 4 live games

On SkySportNow - I think Sky have lifted their game, at 700 this morning, they had their 10-12 min highlight package of each game available. I assume the full replays were too, although they can always be accessed via the 'Live TV' guide, so not so much of an issue. Picture quality looked pretty good.

 

One thing I noted on Sunday morning, when I clicked and watch the uploaded replay was they have cut out the halftime show and the game ends pretty abruptly, about 2-3mins after the final whistle.

 

I didn't realise the halftime was cut out and did what I usually do and scrolled forward 15mins. But instead of the players coming back out on the field, I joined in the 59th minute...

arnies: Does anyone know how to watch the weekly review shows on Sky Go? I can’t find it anywhere


Search "Matchday Extra" and it will let you watch the show that aired at 6.30pm as Skygo can go 2 hours in the past.

I can't see it as its own "on demand" option though

Edit: nope, I could only watch the show that was airing at 6.30pm as the show was still going.



Seems like an oversight by Sky since they have it available on SSN. Trouble is finding someone to talk to who understands how to fix it

This show looks great, cheers. On the other thread a screenshot indicates you can record 5 at once https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=106&topicid=293960&page_no=14#2956449

So this morning I woke up at 545 ish and thought I'd watch the Spurs v Forest game which had started at 4am. I couldn't see any mention of it on the front page of SSN, so looked at the new 'TV Guide' section where you're supposed to be able to watch it from I think. Clicked on it, was expecting to see 'Watch Live' or 'Watch from the beginning' as SparkSport did, and saw a black screen with 'Watch Live' at the bottom, so waited 3-4 seconds expecting as there was no 'Watch from the beginning' link it would automatically start at the beginning of the game, but no, the first thing I saw was the post match in studio discussion with the score displayed on the screen.

 

Did I do anything wrong, have others had better experiences when trying to watch something in this manner? I should add I was using an Apple TV.

 

I then tried watching anything from their TV Guide in the last 24hrs and everything starts live. This has really been a major cock up.

I don’t have sky sport now but have read the thread on the update and there seems to be issues with it. Could be with a read.

I wonder how big the Sky development team is.

 

Sky own Neon who still can't get the 'new' Apple TV (released about 18 months ago) remote working correctly (has no Skip 10 sec forward ability), and when they finally replied to me, said 'We are a small NZ based development team, working as hard as we can', or something to that effect.

 

Sometimes I wonder if Sky actually remembers we pay for these services, they're not 'doing us a favour'

At least two, three tops.

Probably consisting of an intern developer, a graphic artist and a project manager 🚱

 

In all seriousness, my best bet is that they are focusing all of their effort on the 'new box' coming out shortly, and everything else is sucking hind tit.  
Potentially also with a mix of nobody wants to (or is capable to?) "maintain an old platform that got bought from our competitor"

Why does Sky Go and SSN have such different videos available at any given time?

 

I have a Sky box, but want to watch the extended highlights rather than a full game replay. I don't seem to have that option without subscribing to SSN. Very frustrating.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Sky Go down the bottom only about half the games have 10 min highlights, and it seems to be random which ones are (West Ham game is there but Newcastle which was earlier is not)
