    Saturday, 21 March on Sky Sport 1:

    A similar programme as today, with a series of classic games between two teams or a replay of one game. They're clearly picking the games based on the 2020 SR schedule and broadcast them, more or less, at the times the games were meant to be played.

    5.00pm: classic Highlanders v Lions/Cats
    7.00pm: classic Blues v Brumbies
    9.00pm: replay of the 2012 Super Rugby game between the Waratahs and the Bulls (Sydney Football Stadium, Sydney)

    Sunday, 22 March
    12.58am: replay of the 2004 Super 12 game between the Coastal Sharks and Chiefs (ABSA Park, Durban)
    12.10pm: replay of the 2018 Super Rugby game between the Jaguares and Stormers (Velez Sarsfield, Buenos Aires)

    And, of course, a lot of repeats of these programmes.

    I put this in the NFL thread too, but NFL Game Pass is free until 31 July. Has a massive archive of games and assocaited content in high definition.

    Well worth checking out; the pandemic will be done by the time you can watch all the stuff on there!

    Yeah I've been offered the NEON as part of my SkySportNow subscription. It's a nice gesture, this whole situation is really out of their control.

    Don’t.

    If you have to rely on using an app on your phone to access Neon don’t bother.
    I’d like to say it’s shit but in truth it’s way worse then that.

    I haven't tried it extensively but have put the app on my iPad and it seems to work OK. Haven't tried Airplay yet, is that where the issue is?

    Interview with Sky TV Boss Martin Stewart.

    The title of the article is misleading. There's very little info about a possible domestic SR comp. It's mainly about the situation Sky is currently in.

    For the interview (audio), click on the picture:

    As seems to be the case with Sky apps it's pretty inconsistent depending on device. I had a free year a while back and it worked really well for me so am happy enough to have it for a few months to keep the family entertained.

    I had free Neon for a year as well. I airplayed to the ATV via my iPad without any problems.

    installed Neon on my PS4. No issues so far

    I've been torn on my subscription to Kayo, I'm not watching any more..but at the same time I'm one of the extremely lucky ones and have had my job guaranteed for at least 6 months so I'm thinking I will let the subscription keep going, same too with gym. The math might change when the Mrs is completely sidelined from work but will run it as long as I can.

    I'm using a mates Kayo that he gets as a member of Manly - I think giving me free sports watching (until now) is an appropriate punishment for being a member of Manly.

    You can get a payment holiday on Sports ($31.99/month I think it is) until July 1. They aren't advertising it though. I just initiated it then with them through their 'Chat' facility as their call centre is not in operation until next week.

    Just like last week, Sky Sport 1 will again broadcast some classic Super Rugby encounters.

    Friday, 27 March
    7.00pm: classic Hurricanes v Bulls
    9.00pm: replacy of a Super 12 game between the Brumbies and Reds (Bruce Stadium, Canberra). Don't know which year.

    Saturday, 28 March
    7.00pm: Highlanders v Crusaders. TV guide is unclear whether this again 4 classic encounters or the replay of one game (I assume it will be classic encounters).
    9.00pm: replacy of the game between the Waratahs and Sunwolves from 2019

    Sunday, 29 March
    1.00am: replay of the Super 14 game of 2010 between the Lions and the Chiefs (Ellis Park, Johannesburg)
    3.00am: replay of the 2012 Super Rugby between the Stormers and Rebels (Newlands Stadium, Cape Town)

    And a lot of repeats of these programmes (at more civilized hours).

    Yep, we've now taken a sport holiday and also burned one decoder. They were dicks about it, but to be fair, 10 days ago I made some suggestions re reduced fees, extra content etc and they didn't rise to the challenge so bye bye sports.
