Sky Red Button

[legoman]

The Bristol game is on the red button tomorrow and I'm trying to find out if it's possible to record it.

I've looked through the Sky forums but can't find anything helpful.

I have SkyQ if anyone knows the answer.

You can't record from red button and have never been able to, as far as I know.

Usually, when you press the record button while the programme is selected, a pop-up will appear allowing you to select the game you want to record Our game doesn’t seem to be available for selection yet. It should be there nearer the time.

I’ve recorded red button games in the past.

That's kind of what I thought but on the other hand (and as a few on the Sky forums have said) I'm sure there was a time when you could but I read that it's all changed now that the red button service is delivered over the internet connection rather than the dish

Interesting Lib, thank you. I'll have a gander tomorrow. Mrs L is working till 1.30 and is gutted to be missing the game. We have become quite adept at recording matches when we can, we just need to adopt radio silence during the live broadcast and watch the recording "as live" when we can.

You can’t rewind a red button game while watching it. So I set it to record and play the recording form about 5 seconds back from the end of the recording (to Stop it running into the end of the recording). Then you can rewind and see if anyone punches the ball out of the area, for example.

Probably didn’t explain that well

Can you watch it on a phone if you have Sky Go app?

Dicky, I think you need to download the Sky Sports app to your phone/tablet and then you can

You need to go on Sky Sports App not Sky Sports Score App.

A few minutes before the game starts it come up as an option to watch in a big red banner.
