Does anyone know if SSM actually showed the Germany-Czech Republic match? I was intending to watch the fixture but on Saturday evening at about 19.00 I checked the EPG and noted that Sky Sports Classics had replaced the entire schedule. The game also wasn't listed on the interactive options on SS2.
This made me suspect the game had been cancelled and what with world events and especially the climate in Germany currently that potentially made sense. Checking news coverage at the time I couldn't see anything and I checked this morning to find out the match had been played after all. All very odd - does anyone know why Sky pulled the coverage of the match entirely? ![]() |

Red Zone continues on Sky Sports Mix after initially being just for the first 4 weeks.
![]() Now listed for weeks 5 & 6, 9th Oct and 16th Oct according to the Virgin Media TV guide. mlt11 can you see it listed for 23rd? However that could change - it wasn't originally listed for 9th and 16th Oct. |

The game was on SSM live (as well as the red button Match Choice multiscreen interactive along with goal alerts) as scheduled. It was just an EPG glitch.

I didn’t even know Sky had the rights to Euroleague Basketball, I thought Eurosport had the rights.

Nah, it was BT, although they only ever showed one match per week so we're never fussed about it. Eurosport show/showed the secondary competition, the Euro Cup I think it's called.
It’s just a shame there are no British teams at the standard required to be a serious competitor in the competition. Oh well, the British Basketball League comes to the BBC Red Button/BBC Sport App from November or December. |

I was quite looking forward to the launch of this channel, as a non-sports Sky subscriber.
Must say I am disappointed overall with most sports being more akin to being shown on Eurosport........basketball, foreign football etc etc. This should be Sky's opportunity to use the channel to entice more people to subscribe to the full sports package but showing them what they are missing, but they won't do that with this selection. No EPL or EFL matches to date. Limited rugby (union or league). Poor show. The intention or purpose of the channel may not be to entice people to subscribe to sports and that's just as well with the quality of what they decide to show. I know they are not going to put the best of the best of this channel (eg Man U v Man City) but they can do better than the current output that's for sure. |

bournemouth v spurs is live on SSM on saturday week
SSM is a teaser TV channel like pick TV I know that. But if you read what I said, they will need to up their game if they want to "tease" more people to subscribe to sports. And hardly the most exciting football match either to show. |

No EPL or EFL matches to date. Limited rugby (union or league). I think your expectations may have been a little high. It's more or less in line with what I expected although with considerably more exclusive content than I thought. Surely if it was too good then a lot of people would not subscribe to the full package. I remember seeing a PL ratings survey which suggested a large percentage subscribe to Sky Sport usually watch one match per weekend for most rounds. I guess SKY don't want people to get in a habit of thinking there will be an EPL or EFL game on Mix every weekend. Personally as a supplement to my BT Sports package (I have Virgin Media XL) , MIx is a nice little addition but on it's own it would definitely not be enough. As far as being a tease I would say it does the job. After watching the England one day cricket recently I have to say I was keen to see more. |
