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.

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 ;)

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 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.

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

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).

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.

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

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.
