eardun Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yes - already set to record. (I find it better to watch live from the recording as means can rewind to create your own replays, and then forward to catch up to live again in a break in play.)

The only problem with this approach is that you have to watch in SD, whereas the live footage is in HD (for Sky Q viewers anyway). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't considered the recording it option (I assume I can do that with VM). Replays of things I miss when I nip out for a smoke would be a real bonus! I tend to miss quite a bit.

Meh Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 VM is shite for red button unfortunately. Picture is like 1980s and there is no pause, record etc features. Half the time the commentary is not actually the game you are watching. Terrible service that needs improving or removing. I will still watch it though !!

If so, how? Thanks You can. Go into the Sky Sports App, and then select the City game (Either by going into the Main "Live Championship" news story or Footbll Scores at the top and selecting the match from there) and there will be an option to watch live. Hope that makes sense? Going into Football Scores and selecting from there is easiest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 Yep, it's only Standard Def on the red button when using the traditional Sky HD box. What can be done and indeed I do every time we are on the red button is to record it but then synchronise it to Radio Brizz via the £45 annual subscription fee. It's fairly easy to do! Go into Sky Football channel. Push Record button. You'll then get a list of all the red button games. Select ours and push enter. The box is now ready to record the game. Go into Planner around 7.43 pm and select your recording and to start layback from beginning. As the recording starts at 7.40 fast forward until you get to real time. You'll find that the Robins Radio broadcast can be anything from 30 seconds to a minute behind in real time (signal has to go from Ashton Gate to Radio Bristol and then via internet to London and then to you hence the delay) and then hit pause when the ref blows his whistle/ball moves from ko. When you hear the whistle on Radio Brizz, hit the pause button again to start your playback. All should now be in sync with the laptop providing the radio commentary and the TV (muted) providing the pictures, unless of course you want the Sky commentary! Rewind for the action replays of all our goals will mean re-syncing afterwards! Should you want slow motion..... rewind and then hold down the Play Button for about three seconds. You'll then get slow motion until you push another command button! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BS4 on Tour... Posted February 24, 2020 Share Posted February 24, 2020 I remember going up to watch City at Huddersfield’s original stadium - Leeds Road - in 1989. It was snowing and we lost 2-1, we had Andy Jones on loan from Charlton and in the latter stages he rounded the keeper but missed the open goal! My abiding memory though is the City fans suddenly bursting into an impromptu chant, spontaneously belting out Milli Vanilli’s “Girl I’m Gonna Miss You” - it was superb! Singing a shit song at top volume with the snow soaking us in the roof-less away end as we are losing miles away from home, all in it together, Brothers & Sisters in arms, defiant to the end, following the City.... happy days! ”It’s a tragedy for me to see, the dream is over ...and I never will forget the day we met ...girl I’m gonna miss you...” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can on Sky, but seemingly not on Virgin. On Sky you just click to record the main match on Sky Sports Football and it then gives you the choice of what game to record.
