I read that the Arena channel is replaced by Sports+ and that the red button function should direct to the additional streams.
I hope they are going to make the red button commentaries and games a hell of a lot better. Poor, fuzzy video, no replays. It's pretty unwatchable.
It launches on thursday at 6pm. The lack of communication is poor though granted
I only read on a forum or whatever that those Virgin customers like myself who have the older V6 boxes need a software update. I rang them up, had a moan and they are coming out to sort that. When they said the 16th, I moaned again and so they have up my broadband from 500MB to a gigabit connection due to the inconvenience. Result.
Im with Virgin too and i dont beleive that is the case. Check it out though
I work at Sky. Just launched a new viewing experience on NOW, 4k, better audio etc, anyone on the existing experience got a free upgrade and as long as they don't cancel, they pay the same amount as they did before infinitely. Not a peep about it though, no emails to existing customers to say we've given you this sweet deal, no advertising it for new customers. It's just there if you log in. It's bizarre
I have Now TV, needs updating on 14th August so sounds like great news.
Where did you read that? I read that v6 will stream but could buffer
My understanding, which may or may not be right, is as follows:
I have eero mesh wifi. It's brilliant as we live in an Edwardian terrace with thick walls, so this gives us 100MB even in the farthest corners of the house.
No, I rang up customer service. They said you just need a software upgrade on the V6 box to make it a 360 box. Our three boxes will be upgraded but not until 16th August.
I have opted to go with Now TV instead. Can install it on smart tv and can guarantee all streamed games will, be on there
That's the same as me. The Sky Sports channels are via Now TV. I am hoping this means all channels become available nearer the time but I am still not clear that they will. Might contact BT.
Keep us all updated, if you would, as I'm in the same situation as you 'Herts'.
All games are on Now TV. They only become live as bonus streams just before kick off
The channel doesnt officially exist yet thats why. Any live games this weekend are advertised on Now as Sky Arena
I did get the red button matches with this package. You had to go through the app.
Are you having a remote upgrade then? I have to have an engineer come round.
Ah, OK, that's worth knowing. It gave me an excuse to go up to the pub to watch them, anyways !!!
yes they said new remotes coming on Wednesday, and then there should be an app in the app store to do the upgrade
Mmm....I might see if I can do it myself. I'll give them another call.
