SStandUp Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Am I right in reading that we'll be able to watch QPR v City Tuesday night on sky via the red button? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yes....no idea if you can record it though? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS15_RED Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 With it being on the red button I’d imagine you won’t be able to record it, nor will it be in HD. Still very pleased with it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmpowell Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Yes, but it’s not in HD (it’s bitrate is barely suitable for SD let alone HD!) so it looks shite on most Full HD panel, and IMO pretty unwatchable on any large 4K panel. As an exile I was looking forward to being able to watch my team during the week, but after trying it a few times on other games, I doubt I’ll be able to stick it Having said all that, if the reports and posts from people coming out of the opening games are anything to go by, it might be a blessing in disguise!

BCFC1512 Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 I watch a bit of the Middlesbrough v Sheff Utd game when Forest v WBA was on. As others have said SD, will be home team local commentary, no replays and was only 1 camera angle! But it better than nothing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My landlord at the local said he’d put it on for me It should have commentary, although it'll likely only be 1 person with no co-comm. And as mentioned above, only 1 camera angle, no replays, no closeups. Very basic although of course it's better than nothing. I believe for those who pay the £10 to watch on BCTV, you get more camera angles, replays, HD etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steveybadger Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 You CAN record it - the main EFL game is on 2 channels - if you try and record it brings up the options to record the red button games. Didn't work on one channel but def does on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AppyDAZE Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 Just imagining that you could have jumped into the future from the 70s or 80s, for that matter into the modern world..... City are playing at QPR on Tuesday, are there radio updated with Herbie Gillam, on radio Bristol , anyone? NOPE You can watch it on Sky (uh?), on the red button (whaaa?), not in HD (stop it) , quality not perfect, but at least we'll be able to follow it somehow.
