    This is absolutely ridiculous imo. Ok I get the not on TV thing, but to not be able to stream such a massive game is crazy. So literally the only 2 games available on Saturday in the UK (obviously without a dodgy VPN) are Rotherham and MK dons!

    I have a firestick, but haven't got a scooby how to use it. What do I need to do to get the game on Saturday?

    Anyone know if the SAFC stream will be available for overseas supporters?

    It's a shame. During the season in the championship sky have had red button option whereby you could watch any game.

    sure there was a post either on here or 'the other one' and people were posting that they knew someone who could sort it, your standard stick wont do it, needs something added.

    On your app section, you will need to download, DOWNLOADER. You would need to have somebody load the TV package on that for you. Generally £40 - £50 per year.

    I'm sure your son will know somebody but if not, I can forward you the details of somebody in Durham who does it all.

    I remember when the only way to find out other results, as they came in after the match, was to find a TV shop that had Teletext on ...

    ... we're all spoiled now with instant access to virtually everything.

    On here type in iptv, also on twitter and Facebook. Shop about mate, there is plenty out there on offer.
    You get all the Netflix and Amazon films, most have a great selection of films and live TV from different countries

    Cheers, I will speak to him tonight and see what he says. His pal is an IT engineer with the NHS so fingers crossed he can sort me out

    Is it definatley not on SAFC. I thought it was only 3pm kick offs on Saturdays that weren't covered. I assume it'll still be available for overseas accounts

    I use a 4k and get a great reception. Over the years I have used 3 different types, all have been good receiver's but the later the version, the more is added to the remote

    There was always someone in the crowd walking to the Train Station at Seaburn who had a handheld radio with the footy results on

    the firestick is basically just something to put the iptv onto, bit like getting an empty shopping trolley and some bloke putting the shopping you want into it rather than what the shop is offering, if you get my meaning.
