I get you now I was taking it you meant content repeated , I need to read properly :D

Still don't get your point what harm is it doing by being there so what if something is duplicated , at least on busy nights of sport like the one you initially quoted me on it allows for everything or nearly everything shown in HD.

What's the alternative remove it and when there's an overspill put the games behind the red button in SD for all those who do pay the HD fee ? That seems a little unfair. I don't see how it really impacts you.

I can't see them dropping my subscription by removing it , even if it's only there for helping busy live sporting times I'm all for it staying.

I did think maybe it cost Sky alot of money to run channels and having one that wasn`t needed or rarely needed now would save them some money. However a thought has occured to me,maybe sky make more than enough extra revenue through being able to carry additional adverts on 2 channels showing the same football match? I haven`t actual tried switching between sky sports 1 and 5 when adverts are on whilst the same match is being shown but I suspect there might well differ?

Anyway as you say it makes no difference to me whether they show the same game on 2 different channels. I also recall before sports 5 opened they sometimes put football matches on Sky 1,didn`t they?

Not really Den the days of paying stupid amounts for tech have long gone , still an interesting development however. Tech sites are suggesting a new box with others saying a product which sits alongside Sky+ so who knows.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

l am not sure it will be a new box but then again what do l know.

Will it tie in with their mobile phone/SIM offering?

Set your TV free suggests allowing you to view recordings on mobile devices with cloud bookmarking etc but I could be wrong.

Re: General Sky TV Discussion
 

Maybe not a set top box but SKY Mobile and a streaming stick? TeleTV on Digital SPY posted the following earlier today:

"Ive just had an email from sky asking me to take part in a survey for their ''exciting new service which is about to be launched'' SKY mobile.
Basically the questions all seemed to be about a new an improved version of sky go, Now tv a sky movies pack, sky sports pack and downloading your recordings to your phone to take with you to watch on the move, when your ready.
It also states that the new mobile service comes with a ''streaming stick'' so you can send anything on your phone to your tv, including your recordings that have been sent to your phone,
''Truly setting your TV free''
Everything thats in speech marks are what has been quoted during the survey.
Almost all of it, was would i use my mobile for these services, would that excite me watching sky one on the move, the latest films on the move yada yada yada.
the ''streaming stick'' can be plugged into almost any tv, meaning i can watch what i want when i want without the need for a sky box to be plugged into that TV,
The last part of the survey were so basic questions,
Do you think you will keep your sky TV subscription in the next 12 months?
Do you think you will keep your sky broadband and phone in the next 12 months?
Would you consider leaving sky for another service provider in the next 12 months?"

So from what I can gather there's going to be a new and improved SKY Go style app for mobile devices. You can get a streaming stick that will plug into any compatible TV. You can then send whatever your watching on your mobile device directly to the TV via the streaming stick. Programs you have recorded on your SKY+ box can also be accessed in someway, probably by transferring the recording to a cloud, via this new mobile app and streaming stick. This would fit in with the suggestion of a Netflix like interface.

If this is the big announcement next week there's going to be a lot of dissapointed people.
