Essential Sky Sports TV boost for Premier League 2025/26 including new multiview & hidden button for faster goals
THE Premier League has returned and Sky Sports is showing 215 live games this season. If you're a subscriber, don't miss out on new and existing essential features to take viewing to the next level - including a forgotten button that delivers goals much faster. 5 Sky recently announced a slew of new TV perks specifically for football fans. Top of the list for those who hate to miss out on the action is Multiview. #1 Multiview 5 This is particularly handy when several games are on at the same time - and it will eliminate the need to constantly flick from channel to channel. It moves from ground to ground covering all the goals and big moments, complete with dedicated commentary and half-time analysis. #2 Picture quality boost 5 Sky Glass has a number of picture settings fit for different programmes, including a vivid and movie option. But there's also a sport picture quality setting too. Sky describes this as feeling "like you're right there in the stadium with an electrifying explosion of sound and vivid, sharp colours". You can activate it by pressing the three dot button on your remote. Slide along to Viewing mode and set Sport. #3 Enhanced audio 5 If you find yourself struggling to hear the commentator amid all the action there is a setting to help you out. This cleverly boosts the sound of voices. Press the three dot button on your remote and scroll to Enhance speech quality. Sky expert reveals seven hidden tricks to boost your TV instantly #4 Faster goals 5 One of the big set backs with streaming is the delay for live coverage. There's nothing worse than hearing everyone cheer a goal down the street and you've not seen it yet. To help, there is a feature called Live sync, which improves the lag. This will cut it down to approximately 22 seconds. You can find this button on the Sky Sports Main Event UHD channel. Press the right key on your remote, then tap the Live sync button.

King Charles takes the wheel as he drives beaming Queen Camilla to church in Balmoral - after both appeared emotional at VJ Day service
The King proved he's happy to be in the driving seat as he journeyed to a church service in Balmoral on Sunday. Charles, 76, looked relaxed as he was snapped driving himself and Queen Camilla to Crathie Kirk, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, where the pair are enjoying their summer holiday. The King's wife, 78, appeared in equally good spirits, beaming and waving at those waiting to spot a glimpse of the royal couple as they travelled to the weekly service. Both Charles and Camilla opted for smart outfits, with the monarch sporting a camel coat, while the Queen donned a statement hat featuring a green and black feather, which appeared to match the rest of her attire. On Friday, the royal couple were moved to tears by the powerful first-hand testimony of VJ veterans as they spoke at a service of remembrance marking 80 years since the end of the Second World War. Charles and Camilla were attending the Service of Remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire organised by the Royal British Legion in what made for a moving tribute to war heroes, where they were joined by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. It included two Fly Pasts, a two-minute silence, musical interludes and testimony from survivors of the so-called Forgotten War. The Prince and Princess of Wales also shared a powerful message on social media, but were not present at Friday's events - after the King addressed the nation to tell how the sacrifice of heroes would never be forgotten. Their Majesties led the nation's commemorations as they watched the moving memorial alongside veterans, members of VJ associations, military personnel and senior politicians at the event, which was held in 25C sunshine this afternoon. They listened to the The Last Post before the silence at 12pm, and the nation heard from 101-year-old former RAF Pilot Ron Gumbley, who read the poem 'For The Fallen' by Laurence Binyon. The ceremony resumed with readings from veterans, and music from military bands and choirs - as well as a tribute from actress Celia Imrie - which all appeared to spur an emotional response from their Majesties. But it was Captain Yavar Abbas who stole the show, after he went 'briefly off-script' to salute 'my brave King' for attending despite ongoing cancer treatment. The 104-year-old said that he himself had been 'rid of it for 25 years and counting', before reading an except from his war diary, which he wrote while serving in the 11th Sikh regiment of the British Indian Army. 'Before I read the excerpt, I make an apology for briefly going off the script to salute my brave King,' he said, as the camera panned to show Charles and Camilla. Captain Abbas continued: 'Who is here with his beloved Queen, in spite of the fact he's under treatment for cancer, which I share with him, and if it provides comfort, of which I have been rid for the past 25 years and counting. 'And I salute him, for gracing this occasion because by his presence here, he has gone a long way to make sure that his grandad's 14th army is never given the sobriquet again of a Forgotten Army.' Following applause, and reading from a diary entry dated February 8, 1945, he said: 'Tomorrow, I hope I will live to do better things. 'I could have been dead twice before, but I'm still living. I would be surprised if I get a life for a third time. May god spare me.' His comments were met with applause from the guests, while Camilla's eyes were red from crying. As he returned to the Royal Box, Mr Abbas saluted the King once more, who stood to chat to the veteran, clasping his hands. They spoke for almost a minute before saluting each other and returning to their seats. When they were reunited at a reception for veterans later that afternoon, they greeted each other like old friends.

Iconic Sky Sports football show makes return to TV after five years off screen but fans blast ‘jarring' new detail
SKY SPORTS have welcomed back an iconic football show to its lineup, but fans have been left unhappy with one "jarring" new detail. This morning, the broadcasting juggernaut welcomed back Sunday Supplement to its programming schedule. 4 4 The show previously ran for 20 years before it was axed in 2020. Sunday Supplement saw industry insiders and journalists talk through the weekend's drama and chat about the major stories set for the papers too. And this weekend it has returned to viewers' TV screens ahead of the season's first Super Sunday, including a mouth-watering clash between Manchester United and Arsenal. Mark Alford, the director of Sky Sports News took to social media to welcome the show back after a five-year "holiday", and introduced its new host. He said: "The croissants are back… it can only mean one thing: Sunday Supplement IS BACK! "After a 5-year 'holiday' the iconic show is back with @skysports_sheth (Dharmesh Sheth) at the helm." However, while many fans were delighted to see it back, some were upset about changes made to the format of the show, including new faces and a new venue. One fan said: "You should not do Sunday supplement from the Sky Sports news studio!! It misses the point and the ambience of the old days. At least call it something else!" A second said: "Used to enjoy Sunday Supplement when I was younger. Have turned on this 'new' edition out of intrigue. It's not terrible, but the SSN studio is jarring. Could've predicted the clubs they've discussed so far, some 80 mins in. A third added: "Well done for bringing Sunday Supplement back @SkySports. But it isn't Sunday Supplement with no @henrywinter or Martin Samuels." Match of the Day in huge blunder as Shearer blasts Kerkez for Semenyo goal... despite Liverpool star not being on pitch Another said: "Such a shame Sky Sports have butchered the return of Sunday Supplement. Almost unwatchable." A fifth said: "Great to see Sunday Supplement back." While a sixth said: "Sky Sports may as well have not bothered bringing back Sunday Supplement." As Sky welcomed back an old favourite, Match of the Day was also under the microscope as a new era dawned for the juggernaut highlights show. Mark Chapman was on presenting duties for the first show since Gary Lineker 's departure, while Wayne Rooney made his first appearance as a regular pundit after signing an £800,000 deal with the BBC. 4
