MarcusX Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Any idea if or where you can watch the game back later on? Il miss it as I’m playing, but hoping with Sky there might be future showings or hosted on our site at a later date to watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was hoping for this option too (including the ability to record) - I can only see highlights from last night’s matches though and looks like you can only record the matches actually shown on the TV channels (eg the match showing on sky 412 which is the sports+ channel but not the others like ours that are streams only) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcusX Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Tbh all of this just convinces me to keep my fire stick, going to be better streams available now for the sky games and it shows robins tv when there isn’t. Seems easier than trying to navigate what is and isn’t on sky and how to watch it. Currently watching Robins TV stream, but I’ve got to go play at 1, more reason not to pay for sky tbh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
