Are we on tv (red button) today?

Cooclaret · Post by **Cooclaret** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 10:30 am

Strange question, and I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but I’ve been confused by all the games saying ‘sky sports football’ underneath them, but the Coventry one not.

Today and Stoke away are both red button matches.

Is there a way to watch todays game on Sky Go? Or only on a TV via the red button? Anyone know?

Got me.confused too - has something changed with the TV laws or whatever?

It is a bit strange TBH but enjoy it. It's a very basic commentary and you don't get replays of major incidents but who cares. I'll be sat, sitting down watching via the red button

Use the Sky Sports App , won't be on Sky Go.

Thanks all for the info. Wife is less happy with the sudden change of plans.

Clarets + apparently streaming it live too, for £10.

Anyone know how to access Sky Red Button on NOW? I understand they call it Bonus or something, but I've not found any bonus sport on there yet.

Yes, otherwise I'll pay my £10 and I'm on Clarets+.

And I've found it. NOW Home page and scroll down to the very bottom. A number of Championship games are listed, programmes starting at 2:55pm.

NOW subscription at £20/month is great value, especially with these bonus games.

I don’t suppose you can record from the red button?

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 12:40 pm

Unfortunately, it's like watching a game with vaseline on the camera lens.

Cirrus_Minor · Post by **Cirrus_Minor** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 1:06 pm

I am unable to attend today, still recovering from surgery so was hoping to use this. I phoned Sky yesterday to check and was assured it will work using one of the coloured buttons above the number buttons. Just tested and only getting BBC Traitors rubbish. Hopefully will work nearer 3 pm.

Tricky Trevor · Post by **Tricky Trevor** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 1:09 pm

Seen a few complaining about the poor quality on red button games but sky are saying on the Q box it is in HD with a commentator.

distortiondave · Post by **distortiondave** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 1:26 pm

There's a commentator but no replays.

You can’t on SkyGo, doesn’t have the facility for red button options

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 2:51 pm

Should be channel 403 and the red button enters the app, in effect. At 3pm it should switch to our game being an option. App available on mobile I’m assuming instead of Go (I’m watching on TV).

NL Claret · Post by **NL Claret** » Sat Dec 17, 2022 2:52 pm

Just opened Sky Sports App, go to Live and now appearing is Watch Live and a list of games.

The red button, aka better than nothing.

Coverage starts at 2.55

I've been trying on the Now site and Clarests+ site for ages but no go. Someone please tell me how to find the 'Bonus Channel' on Now.

I went to the Home page, scrolled to the bottom and I find nothing.

It's the bottom of the main page for me - Now TV app on Google Chromecast

I’m the same. I’m on my iMac and tried Firefox and Safari browsers. Just cannot see Bonus content.

I have found a page that says Bonus Streams is not available with Sports Day membership.

Looks like we've been shafted by both official outlets today.

I'm sticking with the 'unofficial' streams in future.
Been fine the one I'm on.

Thanks for this. I had a bit of a crisis within the family to attend to this afternoon. So was distracted for a while. Only just seen this.
