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.

Sometimes I use big words I don't always fully understand in an effort to make myself sound more photosynthesis.

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.

Women sevens are:

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