Yes, sound was garbled for a large period of the game. And we had a bit of downtime I think while they reset. But a couple of things I’ve noticed improving on last season.

In game action replays. Nice addition. Also, highlights and full game already up. Impressed with that.

Not too shabby.

Those are some pretty weird stats they show at half time!

But yeah, totally agree, improves season by season. Well worth the $200 I pay now.

And the full replay is actually watchable for the first time for me. What time did it appear? Can I stop staying up till 4am this season?

Shame about the sound hope it won't happen again.

Did notice that the extended highlights have no commentary

I cancelled IF last season when the last straw was when the commentary packed in every time we scored.

Until they offer compensation when this happens I will not be re-joining or they provide a service which works 100% as it should be.

This week is another example of a poor service by all accounts.

Exactly the same reason I jacked. Compared to some other clubs ours is appalling

I think the commenters knocked wires out as it only happened when we scored or nearly scored

Wow. A few minutes without commentary is enough for you to turn your back on it?! And you want compensation for that? How much per minute?

Jeez.

Happened so many times last year, every time we go close they shout out probably jump up and out goes the connection

For an exile like me, it's an absolute godsend.
It's been a treat to be able to watch live matches for the first time in years, and 46 matches for 200 NZD it's an absolute bargain.

There's just no pleasing some people.

Same for me. $105 for the season. Godsend.

$105! It's £110 Sterling.
Has the exchange rate gotten as bad as that?!

All overseas fans must be delighted .We get to see every single game home and away ...and are able to re run every previous game anytime throughout the season .I seriously recommend you emigrate Esdaille .

Really happy with the service. Don't care if we have the scattered problem with the sound/commentary. The replays are really good also.

Just a pub team...that we can see worldwide!

And the full replay is actually watchable for the first time for me. What time did it appear? Can I stop staying up till 4am this season?

I canned my membership after a few games last season following too many problems and got money back for the games I didn't watch, are you saying you don't need to stay up to activate the game and still watch the replay in the morning? how soon is the replay available following the end of the game? I think the final straw for me was having to wait for 24hrs after the game ended before being allowed to watch it which of course by that time I had seen all the scores. Apologies for all the questions Kiwi.

I had problems with the sound the whole match. Was listening on my iPad. Sounded like the commentators were in a helicopter.
In the end I muted it and put the Ashes on.

Great addition of the instant replays. More than happy with my subscription, my missus isn't!

I can't answer most of them Sydney. I buy a season pass, so I've never had to activate a game. Dunno how that works.

At the moment I stay up till 4am on Saturday to watch live. Which at my age pretty much writes Sunday off. The full replays have never worked properly for me, the videos just don't play properly. That seems to be fixed now.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to wake up Sunday morning and watch the replay straight away.
They'd have to get the video up in 4 or 5 hours. But I can't see why that isn't doable.

That's exactly what I'm after but after trying a season pass and on a per-game basis I couldn't access the replay at all. I can do the late night or early morning occasionally for a special game but not on a regular basis. I will ask again to see if anything has change and post it up, thanks Kiwi.

Hi Kiwi, it appears the replay is available at 1pm UK time the next day after the match which means I can't read or look at the results for the other teams as I will see DR, the replay is not available on a per game basis. thanks SR

Yeah, midnight Sunday for me.
I'll struggle to avoid the results till then.

Ah well, I'll just have to keep worrying off Sunday's.

I didn't even know overseas subscribers could buy game by game. But tbh for the price I pay, if I only watch half the games live, it's still a cracking bargain.

Hey Sydney and anyone else who cares,

The full replay was up and running at midday Sunday New Zealand time! So presumably it was up earlier than that. With a decent lie in, that's very workable.

Hi Brendan,
Like you I'm usually up till 4am on Sunday mornings and lose most of the following day. Gets worse later in the season when the clocks change and 4am becomes the kick off time! Apart from the odd sound glitch I agree it's an absolute godsend to us exiles. When I first came over here I had to wait until I got the paper on Monday morning to find out the result and half the time they only gave the Premiership scores. What a nightmare that was. Thank God for technology.

Yeah Rich,

I watch a lot less games once the 4am kick offs start. Hopefully not a problem this season though. Just wake up late Sunday and watch the full replay first thing.

Fingers crossed.

Does anyone know why there is no voice over commentary on the extended highlights this season?
