Sandie Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 It's not the first time Sky have done this - I seem to remember missing a GP some years ago because we were taping it while we were on holiday and weren't aware that it had change to the red button. Also, they have swapped to Sports Xtra mid-meeting before now. Unfortunately, much as we can winge and gripe that they are cutting a live event, it remains that Sky don't value speedway supporters as much as tennis or football supporters. It may have been a different matter if we had a recognisable and successful British rider (the speedway equivalent of Andy Murray, if you will), but who knows? So IF and it is a VERY BIG IF, Chris (or Scott ) make it through to the semis and possible final will they stay with it. The tennis will only just be starting and it wont be the crucial sets, so maybe?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinny Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 But its on again at 10.30pm (the whole GP), right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srbramble Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) I agree its not an idea situation, but if you are a subscriber to another provider, probably because its cheaper, its hardly fair to bleat about it, is it? As a sky customer, I will enjoy the whole meeting live, but thats what I pay for, isn't it? I'm sure Sky are really bothered about the Virgin customers.

Well bully for you I am a virgin customer and chose to be one because i think i get a better allround service,plus Virgin does not go down or cut out in bad weather like Sky sometimes does, virgin is much more stable. Plus Sky are getting there money for us to watch it as Virgin pay them for these channels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, why should SKY worry about Virgin customers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ipswich Jules Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 Will Sky plus still work and record the whole meeting? No, I phoned Sky today to enquire this as I'm out for a meal until about 8pm, my choices were to Sky+ the first half and miss the end, or watch the end live when I get in and miss the first 2 hours! Great choice and Sky will be getting a stinky email from me on Monday..... For what it's worth it's repeated at 10.30pm on SS2 and again at 8am tomorrow So I'll watch it at 10.30pm for 3 hours (assuming no delays) - great when I'm up at 4.30am tomorrow for work!!
