Have to agree about the Sky comms, they're the best out there by far for me.
Its just the rest of the coverage (Except Teds Notebook) i find to be dog shit.
I only watch on C4 for the HD, as i don't have access to SS HD channels anymore.

Do you any more updates. Wondering if we'll get any PL also if Red zone is a regular fixture or one off.

I notice the Saturday La Liga game features Barcelona

Always much appreciated, thank you.

Are any ratings for mix shows out there? Would be interesting to see how many are watching. I wouldn't think a great deal of sky tv customers who don't have sports are that interested but i might be wrong

Thanks again.

Some great content.

Leicester v Chelsea ......... so who was saying earlier that there was no premium content and levels of live sport would decrease?

Will Barcelona v Real Madrid be on SSMix this season? I don't think so.

Most of La Liga's live games are niche.

I didn't think you'd admit it hurts, I'll at least give you credit for that.

Not many own up to their bs, let alone admit it hurts when called out on it

You are just actively baiting people now!
It is truly pathetic and ruining this forum as a whole!!

I was hoping the channel might show re-runs of live games from the Dutch and Chinese Superleague but alas that seems not to be the case. Last season Sky made a habit of repeating all their Dutch games which they had either shown live or via the red button on at least one occasions sometimes more often than that. But this season they haven't. It's a real bind for me as I love football and having the chance to catch a re-run eases the pressure on trying to catch live games...

Sat 10th La Liga. Barcelona v Deportivo Alaves
Sat 10th MLS listed as Sun 11th 1am New England v New York City
Fri 16th La Liga Real Betis v Granada

Sat 17th Rugby Championship New Zealand v South Africa

Sorry for the delay – here is the next week:

Sat 24 Sep:
11am – Live Ladies golf – Spanish Open
6.35pm – Live Eredivisie – Ajax v Zwolle

Sun 25 Sep:
11am – Live Ladies golf – Spanish Open
5.30pm – Live NFL Redzone

Thur 29 Sep:
6pm – Live Ryder Cup – Captains Match
8pm – Live Ryder Cup – Preview
9pm – Live Ryder Cup – Opening Ceremony

Fri 30 Sep:
7.40pm – Live La Liga – Real Sociedad v Real Betis

So less live sport in the above week – with nothing live on Mon, Tue or Wed.

The reason is that the channel is largely a promotion for the Ryder Cup – Mon, Tue, Wed and Thur have lots of highlights of previous Ryder Cups shown by Sky since 1995 (How the 1995 Ryder Cup Was Won etc) plus other related programming – Ryder Cup Report and Ryder Cup Countdown.

Yes - just to confirm the above is now listed on the SPI website.

I'm conscious that I didn't include it in my post last week - whether that's because I accidentally missed it last week or whether it has in fact been added to the listings more recently I don't know.

But anyway it's listed now.

Live NFL Redzone Sunday 11th September 6pm to 1am ?

I assume this is not seven hours of highlights and must be two live NFL games ?

It's seven hours of live coverage but it's not two live games in full.

It's continuous live action jumping around between all the games showing the most important action at any particular moment (and if anything important in any game is missed it's shown as quickly as possible - generally within a minute or two).

Ok, so it's sort of live football for people with ADD....

Redzone is a terrific programme. Really looking forward to seeing it in HD for the first time
