I thought that SSM always simulcast something that was on one of the various Sky Sports channels.
Is this not the case? |

http://www.skysports.com/watch/football-on-sky Keep clicking load more until you get to 30th Nov.
Although they might change their mind before then, they did do over Leicester v Chelsea. EFL game is 30th not the 26th as the other contributor wrote. |

Watched this a couple of times. Really lives up to the "Sport no-one would pay for" tag.

I'm glad the Mosconi Cup is on. Probably one of the few things I actually am missing since I cancelled my Sky SPorts.

Cheers GD.
![]() - NFL Redzone (7 hours every Sunday evening) is not on any of the normal SS channels - The various highlights shows that are in the schedules are just on SS Mix. - The occasional live event is only on SS Mix, for example, the other week a Dutch game featuring Ajax wasnt on any of the other channels. |

Rest of the time: kabbadi, keepy-uppy footbal touranmets (wtf?) and women's golf. Oh and since they started showing NFL Redzone on this new channel, Sky have now stppoed showing full live NFL games on other FTA channels like Sky Two which they did last season. Total bait and switch job from Sky as suspected. |

Yup, I got slagged off for criticizing it early on. But as I predicted, after an early burst of some live cricket and formula one. Now there is a Spanish League football match and a Football League match once a week.

I presume they only keep this on air as it's produced by Matchroom Sports so they want to keep the Hearns happy to get their darts and boxing. |

Quite. Also, if you have Sky Two, surely you have Sky Sports Mix by default as well?

Anyway I think the other clue is in the name MIX I'm not surprised they keep changing focus as to which sports they cover each month, i.e. from Cricket, to Netball to Tennis to Basketball etc.Obviously they were going to open strong but overall the channel is meeting my expectations, in fact as far as exclusive live content is concerned it's far exceeded them. I think that many SKY Sports subscribers will actually be pleasantly surprised how the channel has in effect become a way of seeing additional content rather than it being just a rehash of what they already get. Personally Redzone every week as made it for me. |

Bit in bold is incorrect. Check the Pick TV schedule for Thanksgiving.

And thirdly, phew!, all you Sky brainwashees are tiring me out, NFL RedZone is all very well for NFL experts, but how many of us viewers in Europe are aficionado ? I'll be humble and say I find all the game switching bewildering. |

Would just point out that by this time last year, at least four or five full live games had been shown on Sky Two or Pick and to the person who said Sky Two is not FTA, somewhat nit-picking as is available on all basic cable packages.
Sky2 is not FTA anywhere. That's a point of fact, not nitpicking

Cable is subscription. It costs money to avail of the service, even at basic level.

In what world is a handful of (irregular) 3 hour games on a very random channel that broadcasts in the worst quality available, better than regular 7 hour Redzone shows in HD on a channel people would check to see if there's sport available.
I see a lot of stupidity on these forums but that's up there. |

Latest update from the Sky Sports listings site:
Football: PSV V Heerenveen (22nd January) Ajax V ADO Den Haag (29th January) NFL: NFL Pro Bowl (30th January) These are the first updates for 2017 so the above may change. |

In replacement for F1:
Heerenveen V Ajax (Next Sunday, 1:30pm) Utrecht V Feyenoord (Next Sunday, 3:30pm) The GP2 Feature race on Saturday has also been removed from Mix despite the Sky listing's claiming it on Mix. |

With one hand they give with the other they take away.
Next weeks Man U v West Ham Cup game is no longer listed Mix. However they are now listing another EPL match on 17th Dec, Chelsea V Crystal Palace |

Another wasted opportunity to show an EFL Cup game. A decent PL game in exchange though.
