How dumb is SKY?

[Cleve]

This Sunday at 4pm on SKY Sport 1 is NZ Motorcycle racing from Ruapuna and at EXACTLY the same time on SKY Sport 3 is MotoGP live !!!??
I despair...

Yeah I noticed that when I was scanning through skywatch trying to find which days the NZSBK coverage was on. They certainly aren't the sharpest knifes in the drawer when it comes to that. All they needed to do was bring the coverage of the NZSBK forward one hour and everyone could have a great sunday afternoon watching bikes!!!

P.S. There is a replay on the Monday around midday sometime iirc.

My Sky is your friend

Not if you got Telstra buddy.

[What?]

My Sky is your friend

And that is quite possibly why this scenario exists - Sky want you to buy their latest bit of tech (for about ten times what it should cost, too)

You think you've got problems! I'm also a Warriors fan and the game's on at exactly the same time as BOTH motorcycling shows!

Me too and an all round petrol head so we also have the TV1 motorshow and the V8s on TV3.Then the rest of the week we get utter shite.

HAHA, The one that irritates me is when sky play golf on 3 channels at once. yd think if you were into golf you would rather watch them all at staggered times they love doing it with cricket too, 4 games on at one time and 3 of the 4 are delayed or replays.....monkeys!!!

Try finding out when AMA MX/SX is on! Paper guide says one thing, on screen another, while reality is something else. One of their best stunts so far was to swap mid race to cricket. No warning, explanation or change to live guide. Anyone found a decent on line guide? I get emails from an Aussie based website My TV? (Searches for keywords – MGP, Motocross, etc. After adding 2/3 hrs it’s the best I’ve come up with.

Also putting half of the WSBK/ MGP on one Skysport channel then the second half on another means changing the VCR/HDR at some hour when I’m usually asleep or at work. “My Sky” might fix this for $$. But I’m sure it wouldn’t be great with the confusion over what’s on when that seems to reign supreme at the traveling Circus known as Sky TV.

Perhaps we could get together with a concentrated campaign to be treated as well as other sports fans.

I think by not providing an accurate program guide they are close to a breach of consumer regulations – not providing what is paid for.

Just in case anyone reads this. Bike racing on at 10am (five mins) on sky sport from ruapuna.

Don't have Sky Sport. Have to get by with Cartoon Network.
