Frank_Lucas Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Best method purchase an Amazon Firestick currently £19.99:they are a handy little device that plugs into the side of your TV via HDMI they will allow you to watch various apps from Netflix to BBC iPlayer you can then use this device to watch I-FOLLOW on the TV via their browser called SILK Other methods like a HDMI cable from the laptop to the TV will also work. Anyone with an iPhone iPad should go throw it in the bin and climb in with it! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@owlstalk Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 CHECK YOUR IFOLLOW IS WORKING Don't leave it and log on just before kickoff tomorrow because there will be niggles you'll need to sort out Check your setup, test your cables, test your streaming 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 CHECK YOUR I-FOLLOW IS WORKING The big Championship kick-off is coming up and we'll all be having to log in and use the I-Follow service to watch the match. This brings many challenges with it, as the service has never handled as many fans using the service all at once like it will tomorrow. This could bring technical issues that I-Follow will have to deal with BUT There will also be fans leaving it until tomorrow just before kick-off to start logging in, testing the stream, testing their HDMI cables, testing whether it works on their TV's or not and seeing if their firesticks can cope with the throughput of the video being sent by I-Follow. So - consider this your warning to CHECK YOUR IFOLLOW NOW and don't leave it till the last minute as there will no doubt be many fans coming a right cropper. This service has been flaky to say the least, but there are also a whole heap of fans who find that I-Follow doesn't work as smooth as they would like because they haven't bothered to set it up properly. If you're going to be watching on a phone or tablet then chances are you might be just fine if you're on a fast wi-fit internet service. TEST IT ANYWAY! If you're going to be doing something whacky like trying to watch it on your big TV then this is where you'll come into issues and all kinds of problems. If you're going to be connecting via HDMI cable from your laptop you need to test it If you're going to try streaming it from your phone/tablet/laptop then test it If you're thinking of using the TV in-built browser then definitely definitely test it as most TV's aren't compatible If you think you'll be ok - TEST IT ANYWAY Tomorrow is going to be maximum fun, and we want to be talking about the lads on the pitch, the goals we'll be scoring, the three points we'll be gettting. We don't want to be reading about fans who have tried logging on last minute and can't get the match working and blaming I-Follow TEST YOUR I-FOLLOW NOW *end of message* 1 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mark.flem Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm not the best with technology so was wondering if anyone can help. I wanted to stream through my TV if possible. It is an LG smart TV, with a browser, is it possible? Or can I stream using an X-Box or PS4? Failing that I have a Firestick I haven't a clue how to use & an ipad as back up. Any help appreciated.

passthepig Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have an iFollow audio account for the season and assumed that I would be able to listen to the match as normal. However, I can't see any reference to audio-only coverage in their pre-match blurb.....does anyone know if this will be working? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can log in to iFollow on any of them, and get to your account page then back to the SWFC site while still logged in, then you *should* be able to watch the game no problem. Chrome has always worked for me, while Firefox doesn’t because of the privacy/security settings I’ve got it set up with. iFollow pretty much makes you disable everything privacy-related to it can dribble cookies and trackers all over your system.

Mr. Tom Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I’ve used it on phone, iPad and PC with same login. You can’t watch on two at once IIRC, it won’t work on the second one. But one at a time is fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used the amazon silk internet browser on the firestick and it was sorted after entering my details. Checked it and looks fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littleowl74 Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere but when I try to register it says email address not available. Have tried different ones and emailed them so awaiting reply but just wondered if anyone had this and got it sorted. Why is nothing ever straight forward.
