[More Bladier than thou]

No, games are only on red button when there is a full round of championship fixtures on the tues/weds. Starts on 21st as there’s a full round of midweek games. Its available on ifollow in the uk though.

[T-Blade]

[Harry's Game]

[diode_blade]

But there is alot more than 8 midweek league games for us this season. Ive taken it the way its worded. Also on leeds match yesterday they said it starts next week. Either Somebody’s wrong at sky or skybet. Since skybet are listing it id say maybe. Which isn’t helpful. Iam gonna tweet sky now and il update thread when i get a response.

 

[TJB.]

I'm guessing this means it'll be on at pubs, yeah?

 

[GrayBlade]

It starts tomorrow - Boro game will be on Sky access through red button.

According the the Sky Ad yesterday, it starts on from August 21st but nowt wrong with trying it out.

 

[Berkshire Blade]

If you press red button it shows up.

This game is rearranged so that's why it's the one random game.

 

[Bladesman]

Its all about the red button.

We have 8 midweek League games this season including the Boro game. Do not include Boxing Day and New Years Day as these are not regarded as midweek games. We have four at home and four away. All the games are split between Tuesday's and Wednesdays. You will see our game against Birmingham at home has been moved to Wednesday. All the games that are classed within these 8 will be shown on Sky Red Button.

Bit contradictory though that as it says we're on iFollow but it also shows as being broadcast by Sky Sports ??!!?!

 

[More Bladier than thou]

Ive pressed red. Its on the upcoming list so games definitely on !

 

[chesblade]

Is this just on sky Q. Tried red button and nothing coming up

Yeah me too, I've got Sky Sports added via a talktalk package and red button does bugger all for me.

Red button service not available through NowTV unfortunately.

 

[zablade]

Is it accessible through Sky Go app?

Accessible through the Sky Sports app - same thing right?

There are eight rounds of midweek Sky Bet Championship matches this season and Sky Sports Football will broadcast matches live on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

And as part of a brand new service, Sky Sports viewers will be able to press the red button and watch live coverage of ANY of the matches being played.

That means you'll be able to watch YOUR team live when they play in midweek, no matter which Sky Bet Championship club you support.

Subscribers will also be able to access the live matches via the Sky Sports app - and Soccer Special will also show the best moments from all of the games live on Sky Sports News.

Thanks. That’s a bit shit.

 

[Tom Bott]

It's disgusting that they record and broadcast in HD/UHD/4K but if you don't pay for it they rip the hell out of it to make it a very poor SD. I don't know how they get away with it.

Maybe they are advised by the Dolphin Killer - call them family, then fleece them for every last penny they have..

 

[Brian Blessed]

I've got a 4k TV, pay for Sky Q with the sports and HD packages, but these red button things are always in shitty SD and unbearable to watch. Still better than a dodgy Internet stream like, but still annoying.

 

[sufcboy95]

Can you watch the boro game on virgin??

 

[Berkshire Blade]

Red button works on virgin.

Wait until you find out its only 4 cameras in the ground.

Definitely not on iFollow in the UK as I've just phoned them as the club website says it's available to UK customers. Red button counts as being broadcast apparently. Waiting for my Sky to be installed so can't access the red button or app either. Guess it'll be Giddings and Edwards for me tomorrow night then to take me through our battering of Boro to prove the doubters wrong

Thats strange - the facility to pay £10 to watch is on iFollow, as I signed in and went through to that page - didn't actually pay though - was going to do that tomorrow.

Oh really ! When I looked it just said no live game. I haven’t subscribed though, so I’ll try that and see if it gives me the option. I phoned iFollow about 15 mins ago and they said the game was blacked out. Odd as it isn’t really live coverage

Seems to let me - hopefully you can see this screen shot
