pongo88 Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 I’m sure you can do the normal things such as rewind and pause on Sky, but not if you’re watching the match on Virgin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobBobSuperBob Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Had a reply back from Sky re tonight They are having problems with software their end and the games will be shown tonight but are likely to be on the GREEN button They are testing now and if it’s not on GREEN button they hope it will be on.BLUE button Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveybadger Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Ok even more technical question: you can record off red button, and watch those games on the sky sports app. However, can anybody confirm you CANNOT use Sky Go or the Sky Sports app to remote record red button games, like you can with normal televised games? I'm away all weekend so could be my only option for Sunday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason this one isn’t showing up yet. I’m hoping it’s a glitch and is fixed before the game. As I’m on the road all day and not home til 9pm, and tried at 5:30am this morning and it’s still not there, I’m gonna have to rely on the Mrs getting it right! Hope you have some friends who will let you watch later at theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rang the so called technical department at Sky this morning. The Indian girl I spoke to did not like football and wasn't sure about the red button. However she went off and took advice and said that my HD box needed re-configurating (I think). She then talked me through the process, which probably took about 5-10 minutes. She then said that would fix the problem and that I would be able re-wind and pause during the match. She told me that I could only record when the match had started and not before. Hope this works this evening and that it may be of help to those who, like me, have experienced a problem. Only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I just checked, tonight's game is now listed and therefore can be set to record before it starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you record it can you not rewind in game and do your own replays ? (Sounding all billy big b******x !!! as ) can (on Sky Q) but I jumped past the Sky Plus / HD boxes so not familiar with their functions The only reason I have it is I had to change my 20 yr old box and Q was all that was available ((Very good Tbf for anyone considering) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You probably can if you are recording while watching. I tried to do a pause and rewind on my hd box for recent away game that I wasn't recording and a message came up saying something like function not available. I will try this evening, as I've set it to record (while I watching) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No obvious red button option with the sky go app but anyone know if he’ll be able to get it ? It won’t work on the app on a laptop - only an iPad/tablet or phone. He’ll need to use the Sky Sports app rather than Sky Go - live sport can be viewed on here if you have access to Sky Go though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bristol Rob Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Right. I think I am about to do what I wasn't going to do, and subscribe to Sky Sports through Virgin Media. Do I have to get the HD option or the standard def? I only want it for the month, so trying to keep the cost to a minimum. Apologies if this has been answered already.

I’ve done it. Though I was watching it on playback so maybe it isn’t a function of watching live. Solution is to watch it on playback 2 seconds behind live time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eardun Posted October 3, 2018 Report Share Posted October 3, 2018 Was still not giving me the option to record. However I have just turned the sky box on and off at the wall and that has done the trick - now happily recording so can watch, pause and rewind for replays. So if anyone is still having a problem I recommend the age old solution of turning it off and on again! I’m guessing the problem may have been caused by channel 403 changing to HD this week, although that doesn’t explain why last night’s matches were OK.
