[Football] Sky Sports +

[Iggle Piggle]

Bad fan last night. Watched from the comfort of my own home. On the plus side the catering was excellent. The pale ale was reasonably priced which I could drink from the bottle and my chilli was better than anything I've ever had at the Amex.

I digress. Did anyone watch the game on the abomination that is Sky sports +? Buffering and resetting like a dodgy stream on a moody fire stick. Looking at the Sky Forums and twitter it's a common occurrence for Tennis and the multiple football games and it's borderline unwatchable.

Something for you all to look forward to for the next round.

It was terrible, thought it may have been my own internet connection at first but seems that everyone had the same issue

 

[southstandandy]

Worked fine for me - no buffering at all.

 

[Springal]

Yeah fine for me on Sky Broadband via my Sky box. Will be your internet I suspect

 

[maidstoneseagull]

Very stop start, just as it seemed to sort itself out it went again. I've had similar experience with the F1 red button.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Via sky app on my iPad it was excellent

Given it happened to me and I have 1Gb, no.

 

[Littlemo]

Yeah it was poor for me as well. I briefly switched on a few of the other games to see if they were having the same problems and they were. Shame, I was going to complain to Virgin because I thought it was their useless WiFi.

 

[Munkfish]

Watched Via the app on 5G Travelling back from work, worked fine.

I watched it via NOW TV without any problems

 

[The Oldman]

Watched it via SKY Q box. No problems

Doesn’t matter what you’ve been sold, it’s what you’re actually getting. Could also be how you’re getting the content etc - loads of variables

 

[Toongull]

It was almost unwatchable at times. Had some buffering just after Webster headed the ball and had to wait 30 seconds for it to go in

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No issues at all

We have fibre to the home so a decent internet connection and speed however

 

[albionalba]

watched it via NOW TV without any problems

same here, no issues

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Any chance the issue is a Sky Q Mini box as that is what I was using? It can stream Netflix, Amazon, Youtube etc so isn't the box or connection directly. But I gave up after 70 minutes and watched SSN. Must have frozen 60 times and kicked me out 3 times.

I watched it via NOW TV without any problems

Me too, though I thought the "commentary" was appalling. Turned the sound off midway through the first half

 

[carlzeiss]

Couldn't find the game at all on my TV with Firestick and the Now TV app , half way through the 2nd half tried on the lap top though and showed up there .

Usually Sky sports on Now is good on the firestick with only 20Mpbs of wifi speed , no buffering and picture quality slightly better than freeview via the ariel

Same here on all counts.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Same here on all counts.

Might be an interesting discussion when I say I need the main TV for the next game then!
