     Steve, are you saying that because I have Sky sport I can watch the game?

I think it will work as it did last season with IFollow - you will have to pay a subscription to watch. Not a chance they will give it away free to subscribers of their sports package.

It is definitely free for Sky Sports subscribers.

        Basically the EFL will not be showing 3pm KO.

For some reason, they do on the opening day of the season.

Yes, iFollow used to do the same, as well as on the last day too.

It's because the PL hasn't started yet so the 3pm blackout doesn't count.

Confirmed. I'm watching Chesterfield right now on the red button.

No charge.

Crap. The picture froze. I had to go back to the main game, and then back to the Spirites to get the picture back. By that time, they'd scored.

Spirites top of our league at the moment.

Wow didn’t think you would get it free, or without paying extra on top of the sports package - can we get all rovers games like this too?
Title: Re: Is the game streamed?

Not all but around 20

Not right now, Nick, but I've not seen the sub bench. No Tom Naylor at the moment either.

Spirites and Swindon joint top. I didn't watch the second half. Swindon must have played a lot better.

Just tried to watch it at my parents house as I don't pay for sky and the only match was the Sheffield utd one pressing red button did nothing they don't have it connected to the internet as it's the old black and silver sky+hd box.

Does anyone know how to get it on or will I have to connect it to the router with a ethernet cable

Really poor game and the only bits of quality was from Banks’s through all for Chesterfield’s goal and Swindon’s goal was superb. It was just flat from the start. Swindon horrific first half but much better 2nd.

Can we only watch it live on Sky? Can’t see that I can record it to watch our first home win of the season when I get back from the Eco Power

           Mandy came off the bench for the last 15mins.
 
           Apparently they were playing Mandy at full back in pre-season games.

           I dont think he will be happy with that.

I have sky sport through Virgin.

To get the game yesterday I had to go to 501 and then press the red button.

You can then select the game.

But it did take a time to come up.

The coverage was good and I thought there was more than one camera used.

I was impressed with the coverage, a single commentator (who didn't kick in for a few minutes for me), definitely multiple camera angles and replays edited in. No HT/FT analysis except for brief highlights after the match. Obviously nowhere near as slick as full Sky coverage but otherwise very impressed. I never used iFollow so would be interesting to see how this coverage compared.

I have SkyQ and the list of matches covered was accessible from the home screen.

Amazing that this comes at no extra cost - although its usually Sky's modus operandi to lure you in cheap and then ramp in the price up.
