    Hi all,

    Trying to sort for my dad and I know that flash won't work so no interviews or highlights etc, but will the live commentary work through the iPad does anyone know?

    Cheers

    The only way I have found is to download an App called Photon which is a web browser that allows you to play Flash media. If you sign in to Player using the Photon browser and then press on the lightning bolt icon at the top right of your screen you should be in business. Good luck! Let me know how you get on.

    If you want live commentary use the bbc radio app. You should be able to get solent on it.

    I can't. I think it only gives the national networks.

    Solent's own website says live games not online, I guess that is the agreement with the clubs so they can charge for it. Never a problem for me as I'm either there or can listen to 96.1 at home or in car

    Has local stations, but only the one nearest you. Don't know of it does the sports coverage as there are maybe rights issues there. Worth a try though, has to be a better option than trying to run flash.

    I'm away with work this week, so am having to try this out for this first time. All downloaded, and so far, so good.

    Thanks Chilco!

    Perhaps you can pass on the info to me as well, because I know two people who were sucked in by Apple's reputation and are repenting at leisure. Cheers.
