Hi mate. I have a bouquet called 'Sky Sports Interactive' this contains the 18 red button channels. The channels you mention seem to be duplicates of these channels.

As for watching games that Sky have no license to broadcast, I am very interested in this. Could you expand a little please ?
Did you watch the game live at 3pm on sunday ?
If so, did it carry Sky graphics, EPL graphics or none ?
Did it have commentary ?
What happened at half time? was there adverts or pundits ?

My only explanation for this is these channels could be the Republic of Ireland versions of the ones I have included and this may explain the screening of 3pm games ???

I've now closed this thread as I've released version 2.7. Please use that thread. Thanks...

It was live, the Sunday 3pm game. Audio was there but I had to go to Bulgarian & choose that & it started, in English, not Bulgarian! There were two of each audio (english/bulgaria/german etc) but only one of the bulgarian worked. It sounded mono, very hollow, my mate said on his system it only came out of the right speaker, I have an amp so it came out of both as it's set like that.

My mate tipped me off. Weird thing is, on the freq dets he gave me I got nothing, so downloaded Likras pack & voila, it appeared on 1386, on 1385 everton's game was on too. The freq dets looked the same but as it was 5 mins to kick off I couldnt check them in dbedit to see if anything else was different.

It's clearly the foreign live feed & its raw. No graphics, ads or pundits, links or anything. Before the game just a shot of Turfmoor & at HT the same shot then the highlights reel you sometimes see when watching a foreign tv channels stream. You could hear the commentators throughout, asking how to pronounce players names at HT too.

My mate who told me about these said theres often games on these channels from Likras set, always the foreign feed.

I was made up, needless to say. I wanted to scan through them all next weekend but didnt wanna swap bouquets & dont know how to take from one bouquet & add to another. A simple guide on that would suffice for me if poss.

Oh, one more thing. It swapped to the Chelsea game, with full stereo sound dead on 90 mins, so had to watch the last two minutes (injury time) on a stream. Dunno if it always does that.

Hope this helps mate. If it gives us some more games on our boxes all is good. Though I just bought a motorised dish off Ebay for under £40. Bargain!

I know that this has happeneded at least once earlier in the season. It was midweek fixtures that time and every game was available. All it was was that Football First was broadcast live, though it would not be accessable to Sky digi box owners as the required red button choice would not have been there.

[FoxForceFive]

This is definitely the foreign tv feed. No graphics & that highlight reel at HT confirmed it for me.

If they do this every Sat 3pm I'll be in footy heaven.

[B16MCC]

Its not foreign mate, its the raw feed sent up by the EPL. Normally, it's then processed by the providers across europe who pay for it, then it's retransmitted with their own graphics, commentary,pundits and wot not attached.

The fact that it's available on 28e to Sky Sports subscribers is awesome. It will be interesting to see how many games actually appear. Just a shame we've only got a few weeks left. I'll certainly be looking out for it. Thanks a lot for the info, its very interesting. As mentioned these channels are now available in the 'Sky Sports Interactive' bouquet in v2.7 released at the top of this thread.

I've just been checking them out now, you can view two tennis matches & a tournament board also. That's two more feeds than you can get off Sky normally, as only one match is shown on SS2 at present.

Hopefully this is the case every week with the footy!

Shouldve made myself clearer, I did mean that by foreign feed, as in intended for foreign boardcasters.

[tomthebomb1968]

Honestly lads it does not happen every week. I checked a few times after I noticed the first one. Checked both midweek and on a Saturday. As far a I remember some were Sky-Bet and some were test cards and others were what was showing on the others SS channels.

[FoxForceFive]

Stop crushing my dreams!!

hahaha. Nah, fair enough, figured it was a long shot, otherwise it'd have been known about by now!

The fact it happens even occasionally is better than nothing though!

[B16MCC]

yeah I agree it's gotta be a cock up really, as it actually puts Sky in breach of contract. Something for the feed hunters to play with at least.

[spoook]

Thankyou for this B16MCC !

It's just what i needed, but i'm getting "service not found pat"on the 3D channel and this should be coming through as it is a full package including full HD package ??

Thanks in advance
