Anything's gonna be better than TigersTV supplied by Viking. For the 5th or 6th time this season I was unable to hear the audio commentary. Just another example of the Allam's incompetence in getting things right. Bring back Burnsy & Swanny !!
I don't need to mate I am overseas Annoyingly though I am now on a 4G router and my VPN no longer seems to work for unblocking iplayer
I think the issue is the 4G router. Its not using broadband but a SIM card so I think it picks up the Swedish network from that?!?
Why not Hola? Hola is free, unrestricted and doesn’t use ads. So why don’t we recommend it? The problem with Hola is that it uses a peer-to-peer system, meaning that you share your bandwidth with other users. That has two consequences. First, peer-to-peer slows down your connection, since you’re sharing it with someone else. Second, since you’re also sharing your IP address, you have no control over what it’s used for— leaving you open to having someone else’s creepy (or illegal!) online activity traced back to your IP address. Hola’s peer-to-peer system puts it at the top of our list of VPNs to avoid. To learn more about why you should steer clear of Hola, see our full Hola review.
Did Viking do a commentary today ? Because I couldn`t get it.Are tigerscanada and I the only subscribers.
Fantastic news for us internationals, really hope they go ahead as by and large the iFollow streams were great this season.
It is not going to happen if the club think our fans will get it for free. Which actually is fare enough I guess as any such deal has to pay for it's self. Any ideas how the club could achieve that? Not enough income means no ifollow.
It's subscription based (5 quid a month) with a pay per individual match option. There will be plenty of ex-pat supporters around who actually pay for it, but probably many who tap into illegal streams picked up by tech savvy middle-men. It may be subsidized to some extent by radio/tv broadcasters and perhaps even the FA - I'm not sure. Clubs will get some income from the services but it won't drive their bottom line. More of a marketing gesture I suspect.
There’s only three clubs in League One/Two who are not on iFollow, it can’t be costing much, if anything.
Even though I’ll watch streams (because I’m a hypocrite) and I realise it’s ideal for ex pat fans (but technology being what it is then everyone can get it)...I’m still uneasy about this I think the quantity of televised football is a big part of the slow death of good atmospheres in stadiums. When I started following City the only way to see them was to go to the games. And when you did the atmosphere was a big part of the enjoyment. I think part of that was that you had no real idea how teams divisions above played (apart from very occasional TV stuff which again if you missed it...that was it, you’d missed it) so no one was going to City expecting to be ‘entertained’...therefore it was entertaining! I live a very easy bus away from the Circle, but even paying £5 through a VPN would be about the same cost as just the bus journeys, let alone tickets and beer. Watching live football on TV is too easy, and when things are easy you don’t value them enough Yep...I’m a miserable old bastard
