SKY Coverage

As an avid watcher of The Crowd Goes Wild. It is again frustrating that they fail to even mention the A League. They had highlights of about 6 EPL games and Killen in the Scottish Premier League as well. But failed to mention the Nix, or show any coverage of any games.

I cannot find a contact email for them to vent my frustrations. If someone knows one, it would be appreciated.

Still an awesome show.

Try www.primetv.co.nz its a prime tv programme attached to sky

Not really - it's been clear since the start of the season that their original stance was to only show Nix games. When they got complaints about that, they revised the decision and added the non-Nix matches.

playing schedule and broadcasting schedule are two differant issues. if you accept that sky were never intending to show anything but the nix games live then you have to concede putting the other games into the schedule was a last minute decision.

They did a "Shane Smeltz vs The Phoenix" segment a little while ago. Don't know if they continued with it or not.

Just saw the September issue of the Sky magazine and flicked through the A-League listings. It's August all over again. We get two live games a week. Of the remainder, one game during the whole month is delayed by less than 12 hours. The rest are delayed two, three or four days.

I bitch and complain to Sky at least once a week...keeps on em on their toes

Sky are full of it! That's what I think. They should be renamed "Maximus Bullsh*tus"

Well I think other broadcasting networks should take notice of this and perhaps bid for the rights in the near future. Whats the point of SKY securing rights and promising the promotion of A-league then turn around and play only a couple of live games and delayed for the rest. OTHER NETWORKS HERE OUR CALL lolz

if TVNZ or TV3 got the coverage. we would see even less fooball i think.

Ok Junior 82 I will do my best.
A data cap is the amount of information you are allowed to download and upload to and from the internet.  For example, if you watch a Phoenix game on your computer you are downloading from the internet the picture and the sound.  With the two plans that you quoted from Telstra, you would be able to watch 3 games a month with a 1GB data cap and 15 games a month with a 5GB data cap, assuming you did nothing else on the internet.  Of course the problem is once you start doing this stuff, you find more and more things and you need a larger data cap.
A stream is just the tv programme that you are watching on your computer.
If you are going to watch a couple of A league games a week, 5GB should be fine.  Telstra have a meter service which shows how much of your data cap you use over the month, it is worth keeping an eye on this to see what you use.  One warning would be the quality will not be as good as on tv.  However as it isn't usually on tv until days after.......Feel free to PM me if you want any more info.

Domestic Dictatorship in this abode mate!.....

**ducks to avoid flying cushion from "She Who Must Be Obeyed" **

Just joking, heh heh...

Watching Deaker on Sport. They were talking about the phoenix. Simon Doul, Murray and The Pom bloke from Radio Sport called the Nix fans "The best Supporters in the country" Said how the team was sh*t, but the fans were awsome.

A bit of positive news.

We've known that since 2007.

Don't know about Rumpole!!.I was thinking more Alan Shore,... or Denny Crane at worst
anyway, enough legal-ese,  tort i might get back to topic.. and good luck with your broadband decisions.

This NBR article last month on Tivo ..didn't realise TVNZ were behind it...and also
 Sky's MySky customers can now remote access and set their players.

www.nbr.co.nz/article/sky-tv-gazumps-tivo-with-remote-recording-107225

No excuse if we aren't home or away on holiday.We can do it all on mobile or via a website.
Don't forget to set your decoders to record tonight's game... and the highlights too.
Be positive, of course there'll be highlights!

Surely Sky's coverage will improve now that the NRL round robin is over.......

Friday night game and the Nix game live this weekend.

It's the Sunday that really takes the piss. Live sports gets preference, yet SS1 has nothing but fillers - not to mention SS3 has a delayed football match.

Yeah sunday is rubbish,there is no way that should be happening ever. The fact the games are delayed by 3 days again is almost just as shocking.

According to the Sky Magazine in the hotel I'm in, we are getting two live games each weekend for the rest of the month. The remaining games are mostly given three day delays, sometimes two and sometimes four.

especially as they put the highlights show out before you get to actually see the game 

Not really the same thing but it's still SKY related.  Thanks to Dougie Rydall for finding the site:

what f**k is up with sky....some of the programming adverts are all wrong.

You may have noticed SKY have introduced remote recording. Which means if you have MySky, you can set your decoders from your PC, and coming soon from your mobile.

Go to their site to set it up.

So in terms of viewning figures,  no excuse now if you forget to set the Thursday morning Perth v Fury (for example)

UK Sky is different from NZ Sky -



- but I get your point.

Sky Sport 1, scheduled for Premier League Preview at 10 AM. Once again, shafted by golf. f**k yourself sideways Sky.

Just come on now. Still hate Sky.

Just confirmation that the three remaining A-League games this weekend (not including the Phoenix game) will be shown on Tuesday at 6am, 9am and 2.30pm on various channels.

Fantastic. It's not like people work or have school on Tuesday.

 

I notice that there is only one live EPL game on tonight as well?? Even Spurs v Man Utd is delayed for some reason!?
