This weekend - yes. I don't know what future plans are but it looks a pointless exercise when RL is on several channels. Might as well just keep the whole Sky sports package.

Looking at the whole mess I think it is time for the sport to bin sky & hope the RFL can get Premiere sports to broadcast our game. Or go down the route of online by the clubs themselves. I got fed up with Sky two seasons ago & only use now TV for the odd game I want to see. I just hope it will not stop me watching the NRL on Premiere as you had to have a sky card number to get the online service? I got mine set up using my old card number just hope it will stay valid.

The fact that despite the amount of money Sky has spent on Premier League football you only need to pay for one channel to watch it seems ludicrous, especially considering to watch Rugby League you need to pay for two.

Just an advertising gimmick IMO. Don't think there'll be any real change to the cost for anyone wanting to keep their current level of RL coverage.

You'll be fine all premier need is a sky viewing card number to send their signal down. I have sky and premier but I did get rid of sky for two years and premier worked fine. I did have to contact premier when I renewed my sky to sky q as it came with a new viewing card, simple phone call sorted that out.

It was a stream of the Fox (?) coverage. It had exactly the same production values as Sky and I remember Andrew Voss at least commentating.

the game that's on main events is leeds/wigan which is also on arena at same time. The main event version is just the game without the talking before. Afaik all the main event games are just simulcasts of the regular SL games on arena/mix used to fill up main event channel when they don't have anything else to put on.

Has anybody else got problems with series links for the games since the channel changes? All of my series links disappeared, and now Super League won't series link at all, I've had to set all 3 to record separately.

I noticed this, very annoying

Thanks for that. The reason I binned sky was not mainly the cost but in protest at missing so many games because they kept moving my clubs games to evening kick offs. (not a problem this year as we were relegated) at my age I am off to bed at 9 30pm not travelling 10 miles to watch a game.

So it's a channel that only shows simulcasts, which is only available if you already have all the other channels? Eh? Doesn't that make it completely redundant?

Just spoke to Sky and was extremely disappointed to hear that if I keep Cricket and RL ( the 'Action and arena' package ) my Sky Sports subcription cost goes down from £22.50 to £22! Even though I've ditched the super-expensive soccer. Fantastic saving of 50p per month!

I think, from what I can figure out, the difference is that on the Main Event channel it only shows the game and not all of the build up, after match interviews etc..

that's strange I had the full pack and when I changed it it went down to £18 for the action and arena channels and today I got a email to confirm it
