I can confirm that I was able to watch the games last night using the Sky Sports App on my iPad. I'll try using my Windows laptop this afternoon but I've already checked to see that I can view other things on Sky Sports+.

I received several calls from my father last night to say that he was having problems getting it on his tv. I tried to talk him through the process / suggest a few things, but it ended up with him calling me back at 10pm to say that he'd been on to Sky and the outcome was that they were sending him a new remote control this week (his existing box should be ok).

Given that he's 92 (listeners to the 'What Would Brian Bevan Say?' podcast may know him by his pseudo name of Alan London but, despite what my brother may tell you, he isn't 103), and very deaf, I pity the poor woman in the call centre who had to deal with him.

Many have had moans about this me included because you can’t record games on the stream but you have to remember before this season there were only 2 games live. So if you can not attend a game only option was the radio.

We were told at start of season games later would go on to the stream when it started at beginning of new football season, up to this point we have been spoiled with all the games shown over all the normal channels and able to record them. I have come to accept it is what it is and at some point they upgrade the tech that you can record games on the stream.

My old man was on with sky for an hour he's got an old sky plus digital box, probably 15 years old if not more Thurs he eas told it was fine, last night he was told he needed a q box, as minimum, they were offering him two to placate him, but sept before it could be installed

How do you find out which sky streaming channel it's on?

Quote: ninearches "How do you find out which sky streaming channel it's on?'" It's all sky sports plus now. Red button on sky 412, red button on 508 on virgin. However if you mean listing, always use https://www.rugbyleagueontv.com/

Thanks chaps , i eventually stumbled across it.

So just to clarify this Sky Sports + isn’t on my normal package which is costing me £110 per month as Sky can well and truly eff off if they think I’m paying anymore?

What equipment have you got?

Am on virgin media with a dig box and I’ve just tried red button 508 and nothing.

You need to update it to 360 depending what type of set top box you've got.

Theyve issued new firmware and a new remote recently, you've got to update this and then you can get access to the red button.

It looks like it doesn't transfer existing recordings, so it's like a clean wipe

Jesus why don’t they just leave it as it is but cheers for the advice.

I think the crux of this, its a bug push to cut down on illegal streaming, so it's a tech change, also seems like sky are pushing their current gen tech

It’s cut down nothing people are still able to use dodgy sticks.

And this will proberbly push more people to get one, if i have to watch the games live now i may as well just get a dodgy box.
