OwlsfaninNorway Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 Quality of the video stream last year was an immense increase in quality from the first year. It is now a very decent stream.A shame it doesn't sync with Chromecast. But can easily use a (long) HTML to HTML cable. Also be aware of what the first poster said about games not being video streamed when on Sky or equivalent, but you do get the audio stream then.

Only 50quid I've lived overseas and its very good now. It started with no commentary but now its the full shabang! Can you record using a firestick? My beef with iFollow is that I want to record games and watch next morning but pretty impossible. Any Viz top tips greatly received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando_Trustful Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Great if you live abroad. The video and commentary are pretty much perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Havin-a-hoot Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I only use it when I am visiting the in-laws in Sweden, but it has been superb recently. Good commentary, good quality stream. A couple of years back I had issues with it losing the stream occasionally but nothing like that last season for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It works with Chromecast if you use the Chrome browser and cast your whole desktop. 7 hours ago, DuttyTeabags said: Can you record using a firestick?

I've recorded the odd game before via Shadow Play, a free tool from Nvidia. I'm sure there are other solutions though. https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce/geforce-experience/shadowplay/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cast my screen with html to html cable, but that doesn't let me do anything else on the computer. Do you know a different way to cast my computer screen? If you had a cable free method it would be good to know. Edited August 2, 2019 by OwlsfaninNorway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had a cable free method it would be good to know. You should be able to change the projection output on your computer. If you change it to extend then drag the webpage/video on to the TV, you should be able to use your computer normally. You will need the hdmi(?) cable to be attached throughout the game though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game on the telly cable free and still free to use the computer as you please. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-Sole14 Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 For anyone interested. The iFollow video player isn’t ChromeCast supported (Well as of last year, as it has improved year on year so that support may happen in the future) which is what you normally expect from any other video player eg YouTube, Netflix and any FTA TV Channel. Given the issue raised by our Norwegian friend. But Chrome/Google supports casting through to ChromeCast. Which means you can cast your desktop/laptop through ChromeCast with no problems and using the Chrome browser down to a specific tab. I’d like to think that Apple TV and Safari/Apple OS so something similar also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basically is it good or not, is it worth spending or is it a rip off? Let me know of your opinions please. UTO!!! Had it first year it came in as I spent more time abroad than I did in Blighty. It's about a decade and a half behind the times, but still a million times better than radio/online commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
