Sky sports red button query

[Howardh]

Years and years ago when I had Sky Sports (I now use NOW which doesn't have this feature) when you pressed the red button for football or cricket - it gave you the option of watching the game through just one camera (ie behind the goal or side-on at the cricket) and I think also crowd-noise only (no commentator).

Are those options still available now, and if not, what does happen under the red button - I know that for tennis, for example, you get different courts.

If you can turn off the commentators it might persuade me to get a new sky box and sub!

Thanks for your help!

Stay with NowTV, best thing we ever did.
Ditched Sky (TV, Phone, Broadband) paying £110 a month
'Fibre' broadband guaranteeing 50Mb often only running at 35, not reaching the other end of the flat.

Switched to BT Infinity (£40pm, guaranteed 65Mb, getting it and STILL getting it after 6 months
NowTV with Sports and Entertainment Monthly pass (£42 a month)
Got a £125 pre paid credit card from BT for switching, spent that on a £179.99 Humax freesat recorder

Saving £28 a month over sky and not missing it, we get the channels we want, rather than hundreds of channels we'll never use.

On your original question, I do believe those options are still available.

just ditch the lot and listen to radio 5. Much cheaper and i find the sports commentary of a higher quality with less hyperbole. Apart from Steve Claridge.
