Robin1988 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 2 hours ago, Private Cider(cider army) said: Slightly old news... "The English Football League (EFL) has named the two companies which it has enlisted to design and develop its new digital platforms after announcing that Realise and NeuLion as its new long-term digital partners. Both Realise and NeuLion have been awarded the contract that runs until the end of the 2022/23 season. The news follows one of the most comprehensive procurement processes in the EFL’s history which saw over 175 of the world’s leading digital agencies jostling for the contracts. UK based digital agency Realise will design and develop the web and mobile sites for the EFL Digital’s clubs. It will also be tasked with the implementation of the Episerver content management system (CMS). The streaming, merchandising, and payment services will be provided by US company NeuLion, which already has experience in delivering live football streams with the MLS. NeuLion also has experience in delivering online video through its other clients which include the NFL, NBA, and the UFC. Shaun Harvey, EFL chief executive, described Realise and NeuLion as “two of the world’s leading digital companies” and said the partnership would “drive additional value for our clubs and produce a series of digital products we can all be proud of. He added: “The end user, the fans of our clubs, are very much where their collective focus lies and a proven track record, a flexible approach to platform delivery and significant experience in video streaming means we are not only confident in the proposed technical solution but also how it will perform commercially.” NeuLion’s chief executive, Roy Reichbach, promised to bring fans of the EFL’s clubs the “same level of experience we provide fans of the NFL, NBA, UFC, and others.” He said NeuLion’s experience in the broadcasting, distribution and monetisation of live video would “enable this next generation fan experience”. Fiona Proudler, managing director of Realise, added: “Football ignites passion and we feel privileged and delighted at the prospect of working together to deliver digital best of breed solutions with the EFL, its member clubs, sponsors and key partners." EFL Digital manages and develops the internet and mobile rights of the EFL plus 89 participating clubs - including nine from the Premier League, 71 from the EFL and nine non-league clubs: AFC Bournemouth AFC Wimbledon Barnet Barnsley Birmingham City Blackburn Rovers Blackpool Bolton Wanderers Bradford City Brentford Brighton & Hove Albion Bristol City Burnley Burton Albion Bury Cambridge United Cardiff City Carlisle United Charlton Athletic Cheltenham Town Chesterfield Colchester United Coventry City Crawley Town Crewe Alexandra Crystal Palace Dagenham & Redbridge Derby County Doncaster Rovers Exeter City FC Halifax Fleetwood Town Gillingham Grimsby Town Hartlepool United Huddersfield Town Hull City Ipswich Town Kidderminster Harriers Leicester City Leyton Orient Lincoln City Luton Town Macclesfield Town Mansfield Town Middlesbrough Millwall Milton Keynes Dons Morecambe Newport County Northampton Town Norwich City Nottingham Forest Notts County Oldham Athletic Oxford United Peterborough United Plymouth Argyle Port Vale Portsmouth Preston North End Queens Park Rangers Reading Rochdale Rotherham United Scunthorpe United Sheffield United Sheffield Wednesday Shrewsbury Town Southampton Southend United Stevenage Stoke City Swansea City Swindon Town Torquay United Tranmere Rovers Walsall Watford West Bromwich Albion Wigan Athletic Wolverhampton Wanderers Wrexham Wycombe Wanderers Yeovil Town York City Read more at http://www.efl.com/global/flinteractive.aspx#oHgGg4f7HpFOMECA.99 Old... but not about Bristol City.

I'd be very interesting in this not living in Bristol. I'm sure a VPN could easily address the overseas issue. You can guarantee that VPNs will be blacklisted.

Also on a side note; hope we perhaps appear once or twice more on TV that we've managed this season - four times (Brighton x2, Cardiff and Huddersfield, if I'm not wrong) seems on the low side for a team in this league - pretty sure several have been on more than that in one month. Steady on , you can't play Newcastle more than twice in the League . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Ferret Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I would certainly not advocate the use of a VPN to get around the foreign IP issues. guv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we suffered by having Newcastle and Villa early doors - if it had been later in the season one or both would have been on I reckon. We may well be on v Brum too once Sky make their minds up.

For the VPN issue if they block that just make it easy on yourself and use an unlocator - easily allows you to switch between various Geo's in the world.

bristolcitysweden Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 The risk is that Adam Baker will not be in charge of this meaning we will get clueless Bristol Sports people involved.

nebristolred Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 I actually work very closely with the agency Realise, have worked from their offices a few times. I have mixed feelings for them, but the City content guys should find the new system better than the old one for sure. However, Episerver's support is pretty poor in my experience, which certainly won't bode well given City's patchy service so far already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how you've come to the conclusion that would change. In terms of game streaming, using a VPN so your IP appears as overseas and then subscribing would be very frowned upon, and no one should do it.

IP technology is moving so fast that it's impossible to blacklist all VPNs. For example, Golden Frog's Vypr service uses scrambled VPN data so it can't be identified. As a London exile I'll be signing up for this new service, but only if the streams are in a decent output (1080p or higher) so they can be watched on a TV.

Using a VPN is bad, all those naughty expats in the States watch OUR BBC iPlayer and can watch in perfect HD on their big televisions. It's shocking how easy it is to set up a VPN and pretend your in other country whilst being untraceable, if you use a quality recommended VPN provider. Some don't keep logs and are based in countries where they do not need to, some cost as little as £3 a month! Shocking I say! Tut tut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd also be foolish to do it as many exiles would pay for the service and the club have kept their end of the bargain, if they don't then the club earn no money and Kodi will be used with no benefit to the club.

RumRed Posted April 27, 2017 Report Share Posted April 27, 2017 I don't know why we're worrying to be honest, the clubs IT is shocking, the idea that they will be able to live stream in HD when they can't even put up the names of the subs on the big screen inside the ****ing ground is laughable. And the game will be unwatchable due to the quality of the camera work.. *Crash Zoom* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
