Norn Iron Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 You can pause on Sky Q red button feed (plus+ and Sky football channel). This means you can sync with Radio Brizz. I was able to use the new BCFC app and for the first time ever, was able to pause their Radio Brizz feed. Normally it would bounce straight back to live-time and syncing was unavailable through RTV. Not now, whichever is ahead in proper live-time, you can now pause and sync. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could only hear the Cov fans, apart from a couple of bursts from us, so just be grateful on whichever platform you were watching that it was silent.

Out of interest what is the picture like on Now? Do you need to pay for the boost or is it ok without that and does it buffer at all? I’ve had Sky for decades but feel I’m never far away from cancelling, to get a new good deal they want me to sign a two year contract which I’m not keen on doing as they usually whack the price up within months of signing it.

Taz Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 Bit late now, but I had it on 508 (Virgin) and then the red button gave a list of northern and southern section games. I tried to talk my mum through it for my dad, but they said they couldn't find it and gave up (although quite possibly user error there...) When I was there at the weekend, I had to use the info button to bring up a list of live games for Hull. They do have an older box than me so don't know if that's the difference, but does seem to me (at the moment anyway) that it's either the red button or info button to get match selection.

If there isn't a timeline you can call up and then select or ffwd to 'live', maybe exit the stream and then go back in to it to force 'live' (it's always gonna be 30s-a minute or so behind true live).

Using the info button (same box I am guessing), it only listed 8 games on Virgin, 3 on the first page and then click on "more" and another 5 games were options. It just wasn't an option to have the City game whatsoever on the box I have. My Dad had exactly the same issue and he has the same box as far as I'm aware. There was no links to North and South games. I will assume there will be issues with Virgin all season as there has been previously with red button games. A stick is more reliable than Virgin red button in my experience. Edited August 14 by TheReds Addition 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheReds Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 With Virgin the issue seems to be the box you have. You need to have a 360 box for this to work fully or it will be a limited service (I assume this is why the option of only 8 games showed up). https://community.virginmedia.com/t5/Virgin-TV-360/Sky-Sports/td-p/5519825/page/3 To avoid any further confusion; Sky Sports+ will only be available on Virgin TV 360 and Stream at launch.

I have virgin and so I have “on the go” but I also have sky sports app and that is so much better for sports channels than “on the go” and the latest update works just like sky/virgin 360 with every game easy to find on the “watch” screen from about 10/15 mins prior to kick off.
