Bar BS3 Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Ok, so as a bit of a technophobe, and one who doesn’t have sky Red button, I’ve paid my £10 for tonight’s streaming. Where can I watch it..?! Only on my mobile, via the official app, or can you watch it on a smart TV, if you going through the Internet..? The info page says only via the BCTV app, but my TV won’t find that. Do I just have to settle for watching on my phone, or are there better solutions..? Thanks!

wendyredredrobin Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Plug a laptop into the tv is best. You could try casting to the tv from your phone if it is compatible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Login on the official site with the account you paid with then go here https://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/wba-v-bristol-city/. Not sure if it works on a Smart TV, depends on the browser, worth a shot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashton_fan Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Don't think it works on a TV, just login to Bristol Sport on a desktop PC or laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jimmer Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I’ve got commentary. They are extremely optimistic fellas. Was going to start a post on this. The lad who does the coms is clearly a nice chap, but can someone please tell him to tone down the blind optimism a bit? It's actually really annoying! If not would be nice to have the option to turn it off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BCFC Jimmer Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 Is your mute button not working..? No crowd noises then though. Honestly, it was like a North Korean propoganda video. At one point when we were 4-1 down I swear he said, "there's still time for city to score 4 and win the game". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobthedog Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 It’s like Bristol sport have told them not to say anything negative about the team. At one stage I thought they were googling every positive word possible. I agree they shouldn’t be over negative but I felt that it was ‘ they did their best and better luck next time’ when clearly that was not the case.

WestMidsRed Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 I was fuming - I paid £10 to see "commentary has not started - please wait for the broadcast to begin" the entire time. When I refreshed it, I kept on getting a screen grab of the match, but it still kept on saying broadcast not started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedZepperin Posted September 18, 2018 Report Share Posted September 18, 2018 He made a few comments along those lines. The summariser spent the entire game summarising his feelings of optimism. Nice bloke to have around I suppose but you wouldn't want to listen to him for too long. I think I just did. The main commentator was good though. Were they actually at the game? They seemed to be taken by surprise by anything outside the view of the single camera being used, like substitutions. I kind of like the Acorn Antiques vibe to the whole thing though.
