DaveF Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 Streaming it from Cebu and the quality was amazing. Didn’t have sound on tho as I was out with the missus having some drinks! She made me turn it off after 15 minutes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilse Posted August 11, 2018 Report Share Posted August 11, 2018 I was trying to watch the game on my iPhone and the picture wouldn't rotate into portrait mode. Did anyone else have that problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy1968 Posted August 12, 2018 Report Share Posted August 12, 2018 Surely for the away games bctv hook into a feedsupplied by the home team (maybe via the FL datacentre) which would perhaps be limited to the bare contracted minimum even if the home supporters get multi-camera/commentary.

WayOutWest Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 I complained last year endlessly, but gave up on the standard of camera work. @AdamB It is 100% better so far. No over zooming, just following play. Also it didn't crash once. Coupled with ability to watch on a mobile device. It seems good value. Last year it was horrible. Hats of to the club for massive improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season it seemed to freeze every now and again during a lot of the games, and for some matches several times. Zero freezes in first two games this season, and crowd noise volume was a bit better for Forest game, although is clearly still being muted to some extend. Overall excellent value with prices same as last season (£12.50pm / £110 for the season). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 Last season I was able to watch the Full 90 minutes on BCTV as free content - ie not as a paying subscriber. This content does not seem to be available any more? Have they made this exclusive to the paying subscribers? Is it indeed still an option of paying?

Nope, the full 90 minutes on a delayed basis as per last season isn't available either for free or to paying subscribers (other than those watching live at the time).

Really!! That’s very disappointing. Now that I can’t get it free I was probably willing to pay to subscribe (as I like to watch the full 90 back and analyse in detail). If it’s not an option even as a paying subscriber then bollocks to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Don Posted August 13, 2018 Report Share Posted August 13, 2018 The stream was very good, no buffering no having to restart the video. Camera work was ok, commentary would be a nice bonus. But for £12.50 per month it's well worth it for the away games I cant attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes BUT No! There are 8 midweek fixtures this season and Sky has the rights to show all of them live. There will be one match chosen as the main match with the rest shown live via the red button. The first midweek option is Tuesday away to QPR. You obviously have to be a Sky Sports subscriber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are supposed to only be able to view if you are outside of the UK, but there are ways around this, it's been discussed many times on various BCTV threads so might be worth having a read through them.

If you can find a way by getting your bank account to pay a yearly subscription to BCTV, is what I think your asking? It's called Direct Debit! However, if you mean watching (I know you did really) then the official answer is as follows and is taken from the official site ... Supporters can subscribe to BCTV+ for the season for audio or video (note: the seasonal video option is only available for fans outside of the UK and Ireland) with pricing in line with the EFL’s price structure for those clubs who have remained in the new EFL Digital agreement. For the first time ever, supporters within the UK & Ireland will also be able to watch the live stream of several mid-week games on a pay per view basis. Priced at £10 per game, fixtures available for this service will be announced during the season, with packages available to purchase on a per game basis from this page. BCTV+ live video is available on desktop and laptop devices, as well as mobile devices through the official app, to users outside of the UK & Ireland. Costing £110 for 12 months, or for a £12.50 monthly fee, Apparently there are naughty ways of circumventing this but whilst my understanding is that it's not illegal for you to try other providers, as yet, it's certainly not recommended by me. So there! Personally, I've booked my place at a friend's house who has Sky Sports and that lil ol' Red button ....here we come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMWANG50 Posted August 14, 2018 Report Share Posted August 14, 2018 I saw a bit of the Bolton game on ifollow, the standard of the home commentary was at best biased at worst laughable. It was like when Sky use to get a couple of fans to commentate on games. Every decision fo us was met with uproar and they were still moaning about our first goal being offside well into the 90th minute. Tom F - BCTV - pretty sure its only League games as Cup games have different TV rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
