Tried both methods on both devices on dodgy streams and it’s worked everytime faultlessly. Use the iFollow app and it always blocks the casting. The only other way round I can see is an AppleTV box or an official Apple HDMi cable. Both of which cost a fortune and seem needless when I don’t struggle to cast anything else to the TV. Aside from this, like many others, I’ve got elderly relatives with season tickets who live alone. So the idea of being able to get them access to specifically the iFollow app, in the current climate, is an absolute minefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need one end of the cable to have a large TV connector, and the other end a midi for a lap top or a mini for a tablet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 Have I understood this wrong? If I forego a season ticket refund - I get to watch 30 Championship games on Sky 'for free'? Even though I have a Sky subscription, and midweek games in the Championship are free on red Button anyway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ignore the Sky bit it’s just an announcement about how many games they’re showing. The more important bit is that season ticket holders are getting free access to iFollow. That’s regardless of what your individual club decides to do re. refunds. . Edited June 5, 2020 by NeonLeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has Wednesday's refund (or not) policy been announced yet, can't see anything on the website and only see Derby's in this thread? Or are some individuals just assuming that Wednesday's will be the same as Derby's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an iFollow subscriber in Canada I can confirm that Apple TV box won't let you mirror from your laptop, or iPad, to your TV... I have tried and all you get is the commentary and a black screen... You can try connecting your computer to the TV but picture quality gets a bit dodgy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s exactly why I suggested YouTube in the other thread yesterday. We've used it before. It’s reliable. It’s widely available. Doesn’t rely people having specific bits of hardware. Works consistently across the board for all users. It’s easy to navigate and access. It works full stop. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Tube works well for MLS markets... somehow they are able to "regionalize" the broadcast (not sure how they do it but I have seen it in action in both Seattle and Portland)... I would guess that they would geofence it to broadcast in UK only... but who knows... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
