Same issue as last week the audio gradually runs faster than the game. Refreshing the page seems to bring the audio back in sync.

I'm not tekky, but get the picture up on a laptop, using iFollow, and then connect your laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable.

I'm a techie and this is exactly what I do.

Yes even at it's best it's about 45 seconds behind non internet radio coverage.

I've had no issues at all except for the first game against Blues, but everyone had problems then

I never bother with the sound anyway

I had loads of issues but itâ€™s been fine since Iâ€™ve started running it through the app

Me too. Only works on modern smart TVs though. Have an older set upstairs.sound was fine but no picture.

Worst one so far for me lots of stuttering and completely lost the first five minutes of the second half with a frozen image and a lot of weird Cybermen voice overs!

Against sheff Wednesday it was near perfect.

Against Hull, it was just about acceptable. Kept pausing every so often. Picture would go fuzzy. Meaning in the end i was two minutes behind the live action.

Glad the next one is on Sky, wonâ€™t have the worries of hoping it works.

Both times I watched through laptop.

Paid the Â£10 for the match but was unable to watch the game real time. Seems all you get made available afterwards is the 10 minute 'extended' highlights. Would have thought in this day and age they could make the whole game available.

Sorry I thought you were referring to a live stream.

i suppose there will be more opportunity to find a stream in this league. i do normally listen to albion radio though. its says the club does have an alternative so i am sure we will get to know what this is in august

gazberg · « **Reply #115 on:** July 27, 2020, 03:53:43 PM »

Yeah there will be a dodgy stream for every game in the PL mate which is a bonus when it's behind closed doors.

The plan is to have our own streaming platform and tv channel. I doubt it will be done by September but that is the plan for next season.

Where have you heard that from? Is it official? Would mean I can still continue my boycott of Sky and their outrageous rip-offs.

I've just had an email from ifollow to say that the club are doing their own thing next season.

Yes I had the same email

Thereâ€™s going to have to be a solution if they want to be able to make any money from matchdays whilst weâ€™re not allowed to attend the game. I canâ€™t see the club missing out on an opportunity to get some cash in to watch games online.

Every Premier League game has been televised since Lockdown, don't expect that to change.

I'd have less of a problem if it's the club's own service. Can't believe they would make the subscription similar to Sky levels, for which you're also paying for all the 95% c@ap that goes with watching the matches you want to see. And anyway, if the money is going to the Albion, that's ok with me.

So were most of our post lockdown Championship games but the club still streamed them on ifollow as an alternative to refunding season tickets. Iâ€™d have thought theyâ€™d try to do the same next season too unless there are different TV rights rules in the prem prohibiting us from doing so.

Don't Man U, Chelsea stream their own matches?
