Same here, everybody has had this problem. I was also told on here where to find them, just seems stupid not to put things where you expect to find them.

AussieOwl16 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've never really had a problem with the stream itself. My biggest complaint is the baffling decision to stop users running audio/video streams on the same device. I e-mailed their tech support and they shifted blame to the club - although if iFollow are providing the interface then it's their job to overlay the commentary stream that the club provides. The number of blacked-out matches is annoying too. It wasn't advertised before purchase that the FA Cup streams were unavailable - and Sky takes more league games than I would like. If we were playing better, we'd be getting barely half our matches. Not all that cheap either. I'd only recommend the season-long subscription if you're watching nearly every available match.

I bought one last night at 6.45pm UK time as i wanted to avoid the problems with Barnsley game. No f@kin use though! You'll still be fine for watching the live feed of course, but yeah, these full match replay shenanigans seem bizarrely restrictive. I saw nothing in the FAQs about this either. If you go on the iFollow website and click on the speech bubble icon, bottom right, you can chat with their helpdesk online and maybe sort something out.

This^^^^^^ Great value at less than €3 a game. Not missed seeing a game this season. Will be the first thing I sort out for next season Only problems come with patchy internet over in Lanzarote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owl4528 Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 (edited) Does anyone experience problems with the audio from the game being out of sync with video?? It just cannot seem to work in sync, always a lag of 5-20 seconds. So easier just to mute it. Edited February 13, 2018 by owl4528 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darra Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I've been told by somebody who knows about stuff like this that the profit margins for running a service like this are low. That's why the other lot didn't renew. Part of the problem is that clubs like us the blades Leeds etc will have a decent take up probably in the 1000s where as clubs in the lower divisions the take up would be in the 100s.

MotherGoose Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 Not massively impressed. The quality is pretty poor. I can watch MLB network in 1080p. This is something like 480p (SD). I get that it’s new but it’s pretty rubbish to be transmitting in that quality in 2017. We do an in-house stream at work for in house events to everyone’s computer. It’s 1080p and if we wanted to it would be 4K (nobody has a 4K monitor) On the service as a whole we’re playing Derby tonight. They do their own. I watched theirs for the away game. It’s much better. Commentary. Replays and pre, half and full time analysis. They’re making a proper job of it. And it’s £1 cheaper per game. If we’re serious we should bring it in house. This iFollow off the shelf thing is average at very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussianDave Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I missed the boat at the beginning of the season so I have to buy a match pass each time it is available. When you get it, the video is OK, a bit jittery but quality is tolerable. And it does not stop to buffer as some other stream services do. Support service chat is useful and the people on there try to be helpful, except they can't always solve the problem. My main beef is about the web interface which is absolute rubbish. Very confusing, sending you back and forth. The video option on match centre is not always there. For the Barnsley game it never appeared at all, nor did the audio. By the way the chat girl said that it was the decision of the club not to integrate commentary with video. I can hardly believe that. All in all, for us overseas fans , it is what we have been crying out for. All you UK VPN users, watch out! Naughty people. It wasn't designed for you lot. Gettootmatch!

My PC is hardwired to my router, the dongle is wireless and just connects via USB to your TV. Works fine. @Kagoshimaowl "The stream is a bit jumpy and it's nowhere near HD. " It can stream in 720p HD? You may not have this selected in the settings? Click the gear icon on the bottom right of the stream window and make sure you have 720p HD selected. There are about 4 streaming options, I think it defaults to a lower setting (or one selected to match closest to your connection speed) so check that for the next game! Overall, I think it's been great. Very rarely stutters on my desktop, sometimes a little on my TV, but I think it's a Chromecast/wireless issue. I like not having any commentary, but that's just a personal opinion. No replays are a bit annoying, but Sky generally have them pretty soon after. A solid 7/10. You are a star my friend. Thanks!!
