Now I follow has finished will the cost to watch rovers be £14.99 up from £10?
-
That's why I don't have sky ,robbing people for years
-
If you don't have a Sky Sports subscription, yeah, as I understand it the day-rate for this would be a NowTV Day Pass at about £15 a day. I am not a Sky subscriber so I will have to consider my options here.
Not a clue if there is going to be any audio-only commentary any more.
It has been very badly communicated - no clear FAQs - the only info seems to be Sky's own pages which, surprise surprise, are a bit bias towards how wonderful the Sky offering is and a huge assumption that we are all already Sky subscribers, so this is a fabulous deal as it's all no extra charge. Hmmmmm.

And destroying lower league football for years too!! F*ck ‘em, I’d rather go without than give them my hard earned cash - firestick he we come!!

I think I’m going to get one of those new fangled dodgy box thingies.
-
But will one of them new dodgy box thingys have the new sky lower league thingys on it
-
I’m going to check that with a mate who has had one for a couple of years.
I will report back to you presently.
-
It definitely will

I also have mate who has one of those thingys and can confirm that they show all of the EFL games. You need to have a fast internet connection and even then the commentary and video can be a little bit behind the one on Iplayer, so I am told, because I don't have one myself as it's illegal.

Mate of mine said that was iPlayer. Whilst we know Sky are going to record 3pm kickoff are we sure they are going to distribute it to countries other than ours that allow 3pm viewing???

Absolutely
-
Just a word of warning that if you’re planning to do something illegal it probably isn’t the best idea to admit you’re going to do it on a public forum..
-
Good thinking Steve, I might ask my mate if I can go round to his house to watch when Rovers are on.
I wouldn’t want anyone to be reporting me.

There might be a business opportunity for someone to set up "Lucky Pint" franchises lol

Good question. I'm outside the UK. I'll probably sign up but need to make sure it won't be blocked here.

I am with you all the way, it looks increasingly like I will not be able to follow Rovers anymore, the audio commentary was affordable, this is going to make it out of my range and I will just be forced to ignore the club.
-
Get a fire stick and IPTV every game will be on

Any one know how this channel works, is it streaming only or is it red button on the Sky platform?

It’s on the red button and the sky sports app

Ok, thanks, just checking for tomorrow nights game

I can't sit for 2 hours to watch a match at the stadium. I would happily pay the club a tenner a match to watch every home and away match. The situation is ludicrous in this day and age. I have NordVPN but not sure if I can get away with paying £180 for the international service with a UK card. Probably end up just watching the comments all season on the BBC or Twitter.

Those of us who are hundreds of miles away are worse off than foreign residents. I’d happily pay more than £10 a match - indeed, how would clubs lose if you paid the equivalent of a top price season ticket to stream all the matches. The only argument I can think of is that more than one member of the family would be able to watch.
It’s a well worn argument, but even in advancing years, if I was living only an hour or so away from Doncaster, I’d be there every week.

I don’t have a friend, and he hasn’t got a dodgy box thingy.

I'm a dinosaur. Don't understand all this techy stuff. So what is probably a silly question: if you did happen to maybe use one of these Amazon 4k firesticks in the UK, would you still need a Sky subscription to watch the togger?

My IPTV provider have just added sky red button option , will watch it tomorrow night

I have an Amazon firestick and a Now TV Sky Sports subscription. Now TV is a platform that shows Sky but you can purchase a rolling contract (or even a single day) and don’t need a Sky box. As far as I’m aware that’s the only way to watch on an Amazon firestick.
There are also illegal sticks available (the dodgibox) where essentially you can watch anything that has a camera on it. If it’s streamed somewhere in the world, it’ll be on there, so everything that was on ifollow last year was and presumably the Saturday 3pm games we have this year will also be on there.

do we mean the button on the remote once you are in sky sports on the telly? I'm just on the app looking for a red button? What if you don't have sky sports?

It's on your Sky handset, Adam. There's red, green, yellow, and blue. The red's on the left hand side.

I’m away this week. Can I watch it via Sky Go on my iPad? Can’t see any option to watch anything other than Preston v Sunderland tomorrow.
-
Thank you everyone. Looks like I need to either google, or employ my son to get this IPTV thing.
What a chuffing performance.... Thank you Mrs Thatcher. To paraphrase, she knew the value of nothing and that everything should have a cost.

This doesn’t work on my parents sky box (it’s an older hd+box), the red button does nothing on sky sports+, been reading the sky forums and they say it’s due to the red button content being done via the app rather than satellite so will only work on newer boxes

Youre correct, even if you are Sky subscriber & have a sports package it only works on the tv if you have sky Q or Sky Glass but works on the Sky Sports + app on your phone if you download it.

Thanks Bessie.
This'll be fun tonight as I was at the match on Saturday so we'll see what happens with my first attempt.
I have sky Q so that's half the battle.
I also have the Rovers+ subscription so going for Sky video and Rovers+ audio
-
Just go in to sports on sky q and scroll to the game and you're in. No rewind or pause though unlike ifollow. I popped it on my phone at the game Saturday, was a 32 second delay.
-
Pre match test - Saturdays highlights are on there

definitely rewind and pause on my skyQ box? Very laggy on the rewind but paused fine.
-
If it helps anyone this is how I am getting in to the game tonight. It worked well on Saturday.
enter 501 on the remote. Sky Sports.
press the red button, which is found at the base of the remote control, left side.
It takes an age to engage with the list of games but it is straight forward.
and there was no charge, I have no doubt that will change.

501 is sky news, all the sky sports channels want you to have a subscription, what do we do without one?

Doesn’t seem so. Unlike on the tv where you can use red button on Sky Go on iPad I can’t see any way of navigating away from the main match.
-
Yeah i just took a look and I can only see Blades vs Wrexham on there.
-
Could it be red button only works when all the other games go "live" so to speak?
-
Aside from tonight and the port vale game, are rovers on any more times? The EFL link only shows home teams when you try to filter the teams..,.I'd get a subscription if I could see every away game, but no point for ones here and there...

You need the Sky Sports App, it’s not Sky Go for this, download the Sky Sports App and log in with your Sky details ,
Click watch and the game should appear there later .

Every team is supposed to be featured at least 20 times through out the season

The Rovers OS Rovers+ page informs us that video feed for tonight’s game is “Not available in your region” i.e. the UK. It also states “Please note only audio commentary is available due to television rights deals.”

Because it’s on Sky Sports+

Weird, no commentary
-
Weird, no commentary
like wise
-
Just tried a few of the other games, no commentary on those
-
It does seem to be quite complicated.
Especially for someone like me who hasn’t had Sky for about 15 years.
I was thinking of signing up again but have no idea which will be the best bet.
People speaking about NowTV being a good option too so I am bamboozled and don’t know which way to go.
Lots of people seemingly disgruntled too even though they know how to get the game on their screens.
If only iFollow was still an option, so much easier.
-
Yep, total silence! It pained me to put £45into sky coffers and get f*ck all in return! F*ck*ng hate sky!
-
No Audio on Rovers+ either
-
This is a far worse service than the original EFL iFollow offering. No commentary and the picture keeps locking up! Even the crowd sound is low.
-
I've got no audio commentary. Forked out £180 for all games and getting nothing. Disgrace
-
I’m watching on Sky sports + as I’m a Sky Sports subscriber. I have also paid the £45 to be Asubscriber to the Rovers App.
The app says listen now but nothing. There is also no commentary on the Sky+ feed, so I wonder if there is a problem getting the commentary from the ground.
It’s 13 minutes and 0-0
-
None of this does anything to integrate the fans with the club.
-
Mines working great on Nowtv.
No freezing and can hear the crowd.
They’ve an offer on sky sports for 19.99 a month for 12 months and cancel anytime.
Put the nowtv app on the Tv or buy a now tv stick and create an account.
All of the games were showing on the home page.
-
Anybody else just having problems with buffering
-
Been onto a couple of other games on Sky+. They have commentary. Suspect it’s a problem at Salford
-
Anybody else just having problems with buffering
Yes
-
1 - 0 Billy
-
Nearly missed Billy sharps goal trying to reply.
1-0 Donny 21 minutes
-
He scores goals
-
I’m watching on sky glass, perfect quality with no interruptions. No commentary but I don’t mind that.
-
Commentary now on
-
As others have said - I think some folk are mixing up Sky Go and Sky Sports App. You need to download the Sky Sports App, it’s not Sky Go for this... Once you have this log on with your Sky Log-in and then all the games are there - good quality picture also.
Still 1:0 Donny...
-
Commentary now on
Where ?
-
Commentary now on
Where ?
On Rovers+ but way out of sync with Sky video ffs
-
Poor offering from Sky, a downgrade on ifollow, if that were possible
-
Its very weird these days when you dont get online service working properly if you've bought it legit.
Rovers+ Audio which I bought the annual pass for just getting nothing. Tried all the usual restart, clear cache etc and still nothing.
Is the commentary just not working for this game...?
-
As long as the video is working I don't mind. After all we don't get commentary at the Eco do we.
-
Poor offering from Sky, a downgrade on ifollow, if that were possible
IFollow was excellent, in 3 or 4 seasons I remember two hitches for overseasers
Rovers+, huge let down tonight, promising something and no delivery on video and only getting a lousy quality audio, all at game 2…great that we’re getting things right on the pitch in one and a half games though
-
Commentary on Sky now for 2nd half
-
Now have commentary on sky sports + for second half
-
Now have commentary on sky sports + for second half
But the buffering continues!
-
Agreed Spain! iFollow was really alright. Rarely failed and just worked. Change platform and you'd expect a bit of niggle but I'm still getting no audio on the audio+ service.
Mikes didnt work properly on saturday either. I know, moan, moan, moan but live long way from Donny so audio is a lifeline.
Home page kind of rubs salt in the wound with that big 'Dont miss the action against Salford City with Rovers+ More like Rovers–
-
Christ, Audio is now dependent on Hoden laptop battery lasting he hopes he doesn’t lose us.
It’s hilarious, it’s 1972
-
Ha! Yes got it now but its very Norman Collier (One for the kids...)
-
Commentary gone again and the buffering must put the video 5 minutes behind real time!
-
Now have commentary on sky sports + for second half
But the buffering continues!
What are you watching it on? Sky glass and one stutter in the first half but all fine apart from that.
-
Just announced on the Sk+ coverage they are having g problems with the commentary equipment. Putting it down to the rain.

Commentary just come live on Sky+ he said there were problems at the stadium

First time we have won the opening two games of the season since....the last time McCann was here in 2018/19.

So, would that mean that a non Sky subscriber will have to pay for both Sky Sports and Sky Plus to be able to see both games.
I am finding this new Sky thing very difficult and am kind of resigning myself to not being able to view away games unless they are one I can actually go to.

No, Sky Sports + is part of the Sky Sports package, so no extra.

Keeping it simple, Sky Sports+ is just a rebranded Sky Sports Arena channel and the streaming is just a match choice on the red button

Non subscriber would have to subscribe to Sky Sports and then would get all games on Sky or Sky Sports plus via the red button. If not got Sky at all then could get Sky sports via Now TV app but there are Saturdays where Rovers games will not be shown only certain games will be on Sky sports plus non at 3pm

You can always go to a pub in Town to watch the away games. Thinking of doing something similar for the odd away game.

You get all Sky sports channels.Watched last night no problems.

My understanding is that Steve@dcfd is right. My understanding is that for UK residents the typical Saturday 3pm KO games will only be available to audio-stream via Rovers+. Only mid-week games will be watchable via Sky+ and our (20) weekend League matches selected for viewing will not clash with the 3pm KOs.
-
Can't help recalling that, once upon a time, if you couldn't get to a game, that was it. Just had to wait for Sports Report on the wireless for the result.
-
Or The Green'un

Or The Green'un
When I was away at University, my dad used to post me the Green Un on his way to work on Monday mornings. I'd get it on Wednesday. Weird to think that in my adult lifespan we've gone from that to streaming matches on phones in high definition.
-
I remember having to wait until the results being read on the late ITV news at about half 10 to know how we’d got on in a midweek game.
Also
Listening to a very a crackley Radio Hallam or Sheffield when we had an evening fixture at Plainmoor. Knowing fans would’ve been able to fly to New York in the time it took a Leon coach to trundle back to Donny from the English Riviera

I remember having to wait until the results being read on the late ITV news at about half 10 to know how we’d got on in a midweek game.

Those were the days listening to midweek football (not Rovers) on my transistor radio 1500 metres medium wave with a bit of Radio Luxemburg or an Asian Station drifting in and out in the background

All of the above for me too.

There was definitely a period in the 1990s where you could dial a number and pay to listen to live commentary of games.

YES! That’s right, I remember not having a telephone in late 80’s and nipping down the phone box near Bognor Regis to dial into the final result and a round up. What was it called??
(Honest I was phoning Rovers, nowt dodge)

After my Son was born in 1988, I called family from a pay phone in DRI, after I'd called everyone I had 20p left so I called Rovers CLUBCALL to here latest news.
-
Bizarrely I can still remember the number to call.
0898121651
-
A very warm welcome indeed to Doncaster Rovers Club call.
I heard this so many times and it's still in my head.
-
Usually Alan Smith doing the commentary. Still there every match at home. A lovely man to chat to.

Or The Green'un
The same for me when I was at University. I was in Norwich but discovered completely by accident that my car radio could receive (just) Radio Sheffield on the North Norfolk coast. If wasn't playing football or cricket myself, I'd go for a drive and listen in!
When I was away at University, my dad used to post me the Green Un on his way to work on Monday mornings. I'd get it on Wednesday. Weird to think that in my adult lifespan we've gone from that to streaming matches on phones in high definition.
-
I got a right telling of from my parents it must have been the late 80's early 90's for their telephone bill I used to phone the club call every day
-
I decided to try the Rovers+ thing today.
I logged into my DRFC account on the official site and clicked on the option to listen to commentary (as I obviously can’t watch a video stream as I am in the UK).
Nothing happened!
I tried several times but each time nothing happened.
I don’t think I did anything wrong.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I could have, or should have done please.

When I tried clicking on the commentary, I got the message 'You do not have a subscription for this' or summat like that. Which is fine cos I haven't paid for it. Have you?

No mate.
The details on the screen just reverted back to the start again.
Isn’t it possible then to pick and choose when you want to listen to the commentary or do I have to pay a monthly or annual subscription.

Yes, you have to pay monthly or annually.

How times have changed indeed. When I moved away from Donny, Saturday games meant "follow the bouncing ball" on the videoprinter on Grandstand. For midweek games I couldn't wait for the following day's paper so I used to ring the sports desk at the Daily Mirror for the result. When I moved to New Zealand the results were in Monday morning's paper, and usually only the Premier League! I couldn't survive without knowing the Rovers result so I used to phone Belle Vue early Sunday morning, (NZ time) to find out the score. I'm sure they thought I was on the moon or something. Never thought I'd get updates on my watch! Technology, Wow.

I suggest you email Liam Hoden who is very helpful. Rovers+ was unresponsive initially for me yesterday and I got rather annoyed and just hit the button angrily half a dozen times and suddenly it came through. It could be my iPad screen getting dirty, but it might be a technical connection issue at the transmission end.

Thanks for that info mate but apparently I have to pay a monthly or annual subscription to access Rovers+.
I know that as I am in the UK I can’t watch 3pm Saturday kick off games but did think I could listen to match commentary if I paid game by game, as was possible under the iFollow scheme.
Anyway, what is the email contact detail for Hoden please?

It might help if I could get some information but when I go onto the DROS and log in to my account I then click on Rovers+ and get the following picture which tells me which is the next game but then I click on Buy Audio Pass I just get the screen showing the other picture.
Whatever I click on then, nothing happens.

Amazon fire stick. Problem over.

It just might be a software glitch. Sometimes pages stick, so either go back or refresh and it'll bring up the Subscription page.
I tried it by choosing the monthly pass, then it took me to a payment page where I it asks you for your card details.

Yep, that’s a good idea mate, I often do that but have to admit to forgetting to try it.
I will report back next time I want to give it a go.
