is sky sport now any good?

i'm considering ditching my (old) sky box and replacing it with sky sport now and a bein sub. savings would be about $30 a month.

i'm hearing it's not really 'on demand', which is not good for footy lovers because pretty much everything we do is on demand

i'm also considering ditching sky altogether, going with bein and subscribing to liverpool tv to get liverpool games. this will mean missing phoenix games, heaven forbid

App is a bit ordinary. Skip button is 30s which is too long for football. 10s skip would be great
not sure your ‘on demand’ question. It has the guide, you can go back 24 hours and watch anything. If you stop it half way through and won’t to come back it doesn’t remember where you were so you need to skip forward to where you were.
Lots of things have replays and highlights which might stay for a week or more though.
As an example, Premier league last year had 3-5 minute quick looks, 12-20 minute proper highlights, plus replay for each game, plus a 1hr Saturday review / weekend review, so pretty decent content wise right there. Although sometimes a bit tardy putting the highlight packages up. 3am games Monday morning I might try to watch a highlight package, but not all games might be up before work. 
I run it through appleTV, never any streaming problems. Works ok on my phone too.



Thanks for the info @ClubOranje
