Its not HD but does it need to be? Not for me. The issue with the sound was a BBC thing or a signal thing i think. It was happening on JT's post match interview too wasnt it and thats nothing to do with ifollow. "The greatest mistake you can make in life is to continually be afraid you will make one."

I usually connect it to a 32" screen and the picture is fine. Yesterday I had it on my 18" monitor and although it wasn't HD quality, it was certainly good enough to watch the match. They get hardly any viewers for the matches in relation to the cost of providing a live streaming service, so I think it's very good for such a small audience. My understanding after talking to someone in the business of filming soccer matches is that the company responsible were aware of problems before any games were filmed but continued anyway.

I was watching on a Retina display MacBook with a really quick connection and it was woeful. In the last I’ve watched on my basic work laptop and it’s been ok. I don’t believe it’s anything to do with the actual cameras as such, or so I’m told be a friend who works for the BBC filming stuff. I also have issues whenever I try and connect to a TV, doesn’t matter which was I do it it always freezes, I even tried purchasing through my TV and it wouldn’t work. Any idea how many tuned in on Saturday? 'the poor and the needy are selfish and greedy'...well done Mozza

The only problem was the sound and I wondered if it might be with JT's mike, which other posters have confirmed.   Supporting Town for 65 years.

I'll try to hook it up to my 32 '' Sony Bravia TV with the HDMI extension cable tomorrow. It worked last season, and produced better sound quality, but the picture was hardly worth the faff of hooking up. Wife has the new, much larger smart TV in't lounge but I daren't mess around with her labyrinth of Virgin Media, Roku, Now TV, Netflix and WiFi connections. As Ollie says, I'd be 'lower than a snakes belly' if I bolloxed it up.

Would rather spend a tenner in the clubshop than approve of the EFLT.
