A mate of mine is expecting to be in Hull Hospital over the weekend.

Is there any way of him getting the Town match on the tellybox ?

He will be stuck on a ward I believe.  Is it a laptop job and if so what does he need to do. ??

For a Saturday game you'd need a vpn to appear abroad to be be allowed to watch on ifollow.

Otherwise I hear iptv has games with some providers. See recent 'IPTV' thread.

As I found out on a recent trip to the US, having a foreign IP address isn't even enough to watch the game on iFollow... so I'm not even sure using a VPN to change the IP address would work. Though obviously I'd be happy to be proven wrong and you're welcome to try. As I understand it, it is the bank account that pays for the iFollow subscription which must be from a foreign bank as well as the IP address. Pain in the a*se!

Do any pubs locally show it or is that now a thing of the past ?

Ha ha, tell me about it. When I was in Hull Royal on one occasion, I was in there for 6 weeks. First week I was on the main ward and one old boy next to me must have been the loudest snorer in the world. After that though I was offered a cubicle on my own so spent the next 5 weeks in there. Got a bit lonely at times I must admit but at least I got a decent nights sleep. (Well as decent as you can get in a hospital bed with wires coming out of you)  :)

Hope you're soon back on your feet?

Are you managing to get Town commentaries in there on hospital radio like there used to be?

Try signing up for a new iFollow account and use a VPN to purchase a match pass. Worked for me to watch a Saturday game earlier in the season. However you can only do that once because once you've used a UK bank account to pay for a match pass in another country they put a blocker on the account.

It's about what country you register an account in and not where you are when you use it. If you use a VPN to make an account and pay for it then I'm sure it works anywhere.

You may be able to get round that if you use paypal in US$, even then they will know your address from patpal? Worth a try though?
