Watching sport on demand or rewind

[Tomas]

Am I missing something or is it only possible to watch sport live only with sport membership? It is hard to believe that you can't rewind watch it on demand via official app.

Owned by Sky yes, however a completely different set of operations etc. 

If i had my way I would shove in profiles, make 1080p, 5.1 sound and 50fps the default. Make boost removal of adverts for on demand content.

We'll, my point is that as a company they have that same Sky skin the consumer with a big smile ethos. Anyway, just had an example, missed the goal as doing something else and can't rewind. To be able to rewind within, say, a 30 min windows would do. That could probably even be done with local memory. However it's done plenty of other apps do it on more or less any device, why not NOW?

@skystillcrap 

You can, just not on many devices 😐

Missed the third goal too..... Useless app.

@skystillcrap 

Can think of other ‘useless’ apps out there. Not saying NOW is perfect far from it!

@gavs82008 in a spirit of fairness I should say that the feature to rewind live sport now works and seems to rewind by up to 30 mins. Was it something I said? I still think the HD looks wooly compared to others (TNT Sport for example).

No, nothing you said. Now do not monitor this Community, except if we say #### or worse.

But they do quietly fix things in the background, sometimes.

Not the things we really want though, or not in any sensible timescale. I think persistent subtitles took about six years 😢
