    Cool, these are the sorts of things I wanted to know. Thanks!

    I'm going to trial it in case Sky isn't installed tomorrow (weather is preventing the dish installation at the new place).

    Will be using an Apple TV (was going to use the xBox but don't see an app on that platform.)

      @No-Quarter the lack of 'play from start' is spectactularly annoying.

      I find the app crashes regularly on my (new) Neo QLED as well. Frustrating - but when I complained, I got generic responses that I just gave up.

      That said, I still prefer it to the dish, starting programmes within 24 hours is really nice

      Can you seriously not play from the start? That seems like pretty basic functionality you'd expect from a sports streamer.

        I came up with some new swear words when it plonked me straight to 30 minutes into the first half without warning. That sort of shit is the most "Sky" thing ever, which is why I'd be perfectly happy for them to just die as a company and be (hopefully) replaced by someone halfway competent.

          uh, you don't interact much with Sky NZ do you.

          Yes, it's basic.
          No they don't offer it.

            Not in the last 7 years. 🙂

            Although I would say that when using Stan it took me a game to figure out where the watch from the start was.

              I thought you could go back 2 hours on the Sky Sports Now app?? True that at the start it plonks you right up to date.

                  Spark Sport's watch from start functionality is so good. Makes Sky look prehistoric

                    Well I’m having to try it out as I couldn’t get the install done today.

                    Sign up was good, basics are ok. I’ll try to not touch it during the game to avoid issues described above.

                      True. Didn't realise that.

                      Tried it through the PS5 last night and the same issue. You can only watch live.

                      Also note I can't cast it from my Mac. Not sure what's up there but what a shit streaming service.

                        Experience was not good. Stuttered several times and it skipped 20 seconds.

                          5 sec pauses a few times during the game? That was on the regular sky coverage.

                                    I jumped in now, just ditched sky as I'm only watching rugby

                                    Rugbypass, when it was streaming for non rugby Nations, basically had thrle entire year of all decent rugby on demand. It was such a good deal, VPN via Mongolia and you had so much rugby

                                      The big problem is the lack of investment by Sky in SkySport Now. It is a pig of an app and has been for a long time with seemingly no inclination by them to improve.

                                          The big problem is the lack of investment by Sky in SkySport Now. It is a pig of an app and has been for a long time with seemingly no inclination by them to improve.

                                          Kayo is the same here in Oz, luckily for me the rugby is on Stan and it's generally top notch.
