How To Get Sky Sports Red Button On Now Tv

Alright folks, gather 'round! You're a NOW TV devotee, a champion of streaming, and you're itching to catch some extra sporting action via the glorious Sky Sports Red Button. I get it, the FOMO is real.

Let's cut to the chase: you want that Red Button goodness on your NOW TV device. It's like finding a secret level in your favorite video game – pure, unadulterated win!

The Truth About NOW TV and Red Button

Okay, before we get too carried away with fantasies of endless Red Button streams, let's have a teeny tiny reality check. NOW TV and the traditional Sky Sports Red Button aren't exactly best buddies.

Think of it like this: NOW TV is like a carefully curated art gallery of sports, while the Red Button is more like a sprawling, slightly chaotic sports bazaar. They operate on slightly different wavelengths.

The standard, old-school Sky Sports Red Button functionality, the kind you get directly through a Sky box, sadly isn't directly integrated into the NOW TV platform. Bummer, right?

But Don't Despair! There's Still Hope!

Hold your horses, sports fans! Just because the Red Button isn't front and center doesn't mean all hope is lost. We just need to get a bit creative (and maybe use a little tech wizardry!).

Think of this as a sporting treasure hunt. The treasure? More sports content! The map? This very article!

Your Red Button Rescue Mission: Device Matters!

This is where things get interesting. The ability to access Red Button content on NOW TV depends heavily on the device you're using to stream.

Some devices are more Red Button-friendly than others. It's like some gadgets were born with a sporting advantage!

The Web Browser Workaround

Here's a trick that can sometimes work wonders. If you're using a laptop or desktop computer to watch NOW TV, try accessing the Sky Sports website directly through your web browser.

Navigate to the relevant sports section on the Sky Sports website (e.g., football, F1). Keep your eyes peeled! Sometimes, embedded within the website, you'll find links or buttons that provide access to the extra Red Button streams.

It's not a guaranteed solution, but it's definitely worth a shot. Consider it a cheeky attempt to sneak through the back door!

The Casting Caper

Another option, depending on your device and setup, is to use casting. Let's say you can access Red Button content on the Sky Sports website on your phone or tablet.

You could then cast that content to your TV using Chromecast or a similar casting device. It's like using your phone as a super-powered remote control.

It might not be the most seamless experience, but it's a way to get that Red Button action onto your big screen. Plus, you get to feel like a tech genius!

The App Advantage (Sometimes!)

Keep an eye on the official Sky Sports app for your phone or tablet. Occasionally, Sky will stream extra Red Button content directly through the app.

If you spot some Red Button action there, you might be able to cast it to your TV. So, stay vigilant and keep that app updated!

Remember the Golden Rule

Availability of Red Button content on NOW TV, even through these workarounds, can change at any time. This is the nature of the streaming beast, my friends.

It's always worth checking the Sky Sports website or app for the most up-to-date information. Consider it your pre-game research!

So, while a direct Red Button button on NOW TV might be a distant dream (for now!), these sneaky strategies can sometimes help you unlock extra sporting delights. Good luck on your quest for more sports!
