Sorry if a dumb question but any reason why the club couldn’t do a beam back?

I'd imagine as it's available on sky there would be very little demand - anyone with an Internet connection will be able to get a stream 

Are beam backs even a thing any more?

That was exactly my first thought!!

Have we ever won a beam back game? I'm thinking Stockport away...maybe? But can't remember if it was beamed back.

Yes. We had to sit in the East End to watch it. 

A few decent sized Cinema screens were placed in front of the first row of seats. Black curtains were in-between the screens so that we could see a better picture from the projectors at the back of the stand.

There was a technical issue as there was no audio for several minutes. IIRC, the commentary was provided by Stato from the original Fantasy Football League TV show.

 

There was also a beam back of the Liverpool game which was shown at the Colsunall.

I guess we must have won somewhere along the line but personally i can't remember any. 

I was at the Colston Hall for the Liverpool game as I had done my back in and couldn't go, but don't count that as it wasn't Ashton Gate.

I feel like I need an eye test after watching a game on red button.

Why is the picture so bad?

It's a really low SD bit-rate, probably as low as they can get away with. I haven't got SKY Q yet, but Red Button games I believe are in HD with SKY Q.

How do you get a full match screen on Sky Q - mine is split in two with the game and the other side text commentary of the main game with updated league tables!

Don`t blame me if this goes wrong but I THINK you press the home button and that gets rid of it.

I had it last time and ended up watching the whole game with it there for fear of doing something wrong but when it finished I pressed that button to go back to main TV and when I did, it went.

It’s frustrating- never used to happen on Sky plus !

As per the title, according to the sky sports website, just in case anyone is wondering :) 

 

Thank you Dolly. But get my sky sports through BT and red button rarely gives me anything .

 

Okies why no option on Robins TV this morning for video coverage of Cardiff game ?

But offers monthly pass will that include Cardiff game

You need to go via the NowTV app on your BT/Youview box and the red button games are normally at the bottom of the NowTV app home screen.

That's sounds complicated 

Surely I need to have paid for Now TV  to go in that way

Push the back button - bit like trying to watch something from a channel you don't subscribe to when you get the message at the top of the screen saying press red to upgrade - just push back and it goes to full screen.

Can someone talk me through Sky Red Button on Virgin please ? It just used to pop up with all the games you can watch and you just used to go up, down and then click. Now it seems you have to push another button on the handset...........but I don't know which !

Can't see any game options. Mine just says Currently no interactive options, Is it too early ? 


Anyone know is it on Robins TV as well ?

is it a specific sky sports channel that only gives the red button option 

On sky itself, usually either main event or football.

If it's Virgin, there used to be a separate channel specifically for it, but not sure if that's still the case or what the number was.

Might still pop up - see extract from the Now TV FAQs:
 

When a Bonus Stream is available, you'll find the option at the bottom of your NOW app homepage. Don't worry if you can't see any Bonus Streams right now – they'll appear automatically by the time the event starts.
