BCFC11 Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Think I am right in saying that the red button option only works on the sky sports football channel, and not on the main event one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilksi Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Red button is not for comerical use as far as I understand. If if you have a comerical sky licence then sky block it. Their broadcast deal says they can stream to homes only and not commercial premises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this a new ruling because he told me he had screened a game the night before and could not understand why it would not come on, maybe local games can't be shown?

Up The City! Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Maybe they are trying to press it on the hd channels? It only works on the non hd channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whites Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I know landlords that have shown all the City games on red button so far, but for at least one of them, it didn't work tonight. Same interactive message kept coming up apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whites Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 I've just had a little look online. It was to do with the deal that the EFL signed recently with Sky. Sky wanted to be able to supply commercial customers (mainly pubs) with red button games but the football league said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torpey'sBigToe Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 Landlord of The Oak in Nailsea told us that pubs and other commercial premises were sent a letters/emails on the day of the Hull game, saying red button services were being withdrawn immediately.

InCyder Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 That's interesting. I wonder if there's anything stopping me going into a pub with my tablet, loading a red button game up on there and sending it to the pub TV screen.

There isn’t anything to stop you, but you would be breaking the licensing laws for the pub and they could be open to prosecution by sky etc. It would be no different to streaming games from an iptv source etc, or a pub trying to use a home sky sub instead of a pub one.

You can't send the sky picture to another device, cast or anything like that as far as I know from a tablet. Again it's blocked by sky so that you have to buy an extra box. If you find a way let me know! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was a technical fault where I went then- but then again, said it was showing it and someone did point out in this thread Not saying it's anything dodgy but it flies in the face of this though...not allowed to show it in pubs anymore. Quote No matter which Championship team you support, you can see your team live, in full and with commentary, on every midweek round, either via your television or on your mobile. For Sky Q customers, the matches on the red button will be available in HD quality and the service comes at no extra cost. Midweek matches are only available through these channels and cannot be watched with a NOW TV pass and are also not available in Sky pubs. This too... Was a decision taken in the last month or so.

Yeah I've just seen that, like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, it worked Tuesday, but not yesterday. Probably won't work next time I'm up there then if they've put a block on it.

BTRFTG Posted November 29, 2018 Report Share Posted November 29, 2018 EFL withdrew rights when concluding the new deal the other week. Sky didn't like it as it's an incentive for commercial premises to go back to using domestic subscriptions but that was what clubs demanded to protect attendances.

foghornred Posted November 30, 2018 Report Share Posted November 30, 2018 Red button is a poor way of watching football no replays,no build up or half time talking,but if that's the only way that we can watch it then it's a lot better than the old days watching it on teletext !
