Premier League starts on Amazon Prime this Tuesday

[Sasa]

If you want to know how far behind you are, stick the old school no digital radio on. The radio is about 2 seconds off live and is close as it's possible to get.

Or phone someone at the game.

 

[millar2318]

Before you go into a game stream there should be ‘audio’ and ‘subtitles’ buttons - go to the audio one.

Cheers for that

For those wanting prime on the cheap


Buy an NUS student card (12 quid)

Sign up to prime as a student for 3.99 a month

Sorted!


Not just the football, but their prime delivery service and content of movies / tv shows is excellent

Can you still buy an NUS card?

 

[sw26]

You might only get SD because of DRM on a PC.

Definitely an HD picture I’m getting (using the PS4 app), just looks ‘off’. Difficult to explain but I’m a gaming guy and one of the pitfalls of that is noticing stuff like this!

 

[sofakineazy]

Peter Drury and Jim Beglin loyal

Those were the days.

 

[Henry Hill]

watching via built in app on tv
4k stream is great

 

[strathavenbear]

33 for me

It will be like the Saturday goals thread with everyone getting the goals at different times

 

[borderbluenose]

Have you done the update?

Yes can get everything except the football not to bothered as neither game interests me much and Gers for me tomorrow but unimpressed and know wwhre I can save £80 a year

 

[buffalosoldier]

What a goal from Jesus

 

[BroomhouseBear]

I have a prediction:

It will go just fine, be a decent broadcast, without technical hitch, yet people will moan about it because it's change and not 'real TV'.

'streaming is rubbish' will be thrown about yet all Digital TV signals are streaming!!!

Completely agree with the part in bold. However people will moan because it’s potentially yet another subscription to watch your team on TV. Netflix, Apple TV and Disney+ have yet to dip their toe in the water.

Given the number of folk that have Netflix subscriptions and watch games on online feeds, I can’t see many having an issue with a steaming service. I can see many having an issue with having to shell out yet another monthly subscription.

How many subscriptions do you currently need to, for example, watch Rangers league games, cup games and Europa League games? Throw into the mix you quite like occasionally watching Serie A, Spanish football and the odd game from Germany and Holland? The monthly cost is currently eye watering!

Just wait until the EPL start hiving off Monday night games to one broadcaster, Sunday games to another, Saturday evening games to yet another different one...... and on it goes.

I can foresee a future SPFL deal where they sell the OF games to a different broadcaster than the rest of the league games.

Competition should, in the long run, reduce the overall price to the consumer. With broadcast rights for football it’s going the other way.

 

[ronnierangers]

Highlights is a nice feature , i like this amazon setup

 

[dh1963]

What a goal from Jesus

He could be their saviour.

 

[BluenoseAL]

i think this is most definitely the way forward, providing the price is right, assuming that if amazon go head to head with sky for full rights

 

[BroomloanWATP]

My stream is jumping a bit on the Xbox app. Internet is fast enough and I've had no issues with live streaming from RTV or the iPlayer in the past. Quality when it's not jumping about is very clear.

 

[BluenoseAL]

jesus almost kills pope

You only need to look to the past for that.

I pay for prime and have done for a few years as it is a great service. £80 a year is much cheaper than Sky Sports or BT and whilst it is another subscription, the sooner Sky dies, the better for the consumer.

How do you get that?

 

[WATP1979]

Coverage and the features are very good, well done Amazon

 

[HerMajesty's11]

Using the amazon app on a sony 2018 tv and the picture quality is gash.
Funny as amazon prime video runs in 4k, but I dont even think the football is hd. Like a layer of vaseline on the camera. Not impressed

I think it won't be long until the Saturday afternoon ban on live games in the UK is lifted and all games are streamed live.
Nowadays I don't think it will make a great deal of difference to attendances as most people will already have a way of watching these games at present anyway.

 

[Crouchy]

All hd is about 10 seconds behind live. If you’re ever live betting and click “pitch view” with the bookies (looks like champ manager) the goal goes in a full 10 seconds before the tv shows it.

You gamble way too much.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Be interesting to see how this goes, with coverage kicking of tomorrow, all the way through to 27/12

Like the idea of the simultaneous games, and being able to pick what one to watch

Not be watching then

 

[rossgers]

What if theyve left already?

 

[ronnierangers]

How do you get that?

Stats & Highlights top left corner on screen brings a slide out from the right hand side with stats, and highlights of the game so far

 

[rossgers]

The adverts are perfect. The football isnt

 

[HerMajesty's11]

mine running on Sony tv too mate and it’s great, via the Amazon Video app. My broadband is pish our living in the sticks so impressed it’s running so well

Of course now its half time the adverts etc have gone crystal clear
I've got a smart sony 4k bluray player, going to try that in the 2nd half.

 

[Chris the Bandito]

Not be watching then

I’ll be washing my hair

 

[ThePizzaCat]

Seems odd the amount of folk having issues here.

I've tried on a 4k monitor, TV, phone and Chromecast and it has been perfect.

Are you sure it's not just shite internet or older smart TV's?

 

[kensington blue nose]

Is this just for the UK? Had a look on my Prime Video account and don't see any footy.

 

[Coisty09]

My picture on my 4K stream with my Gigabit connection is superb!!

 

[Del]

4K for me and absolutely flawless through both the TV app and 4k Firestick.

 

[GranvillusClutterbuckus]

Infra wise, Amazon have about the best there is, they own AWS. They’ve got a truly global content delivery network and ridiculous backbone internet hardware. Netflix runs entirely on it.
So if anyone can make IP broadcasting work to it’s optimal, it’s Amazon.

 

[Lossie Bear]

Is this just for the UK? Had a look on my Prime Video account and don't see any footy.

Update your app. I had to

 

[Oranje]

These platforms are the future. I would love for amazon to just smash everybody and take all the rights. I know its not going to happen but sick of paying for 3 different sports channels just to follow one team.

Unfortunately there will always be a degree of time delay due to the way internet video is processed and transferred.

 

[Danger Zone]

City aren’t anywhere near clinical enough these days. They blow a myriad of chances and have a tendency to concede from the few attacks the opposition get.

 

[rangeral]

Is this just for the UK? Had a look on my Prime Video account and don't see any footy.

It is UK rights they hold

 

[Henry Hill]

Stats & Highlights top left corner on screen brings a slide out from the right hand side with stats, and highlights of the game so far

On phone /iPad?
im watching via smart tv

 

[PortoyMortoy]

Remember when posters were desperate for Gerrard to sign Solanke on loan in his first two transfer windows? That's 8 goals in 78 matches in his senior career and 1 goal in 54 matches when playing for a Premier League club. He's utter pish and the fact that he's able to go for 20m after scoring 1 goal for Liverpool means clubs shouldn't hesitate to bid at least 30 for Morelos

 

[Kilwinnin Bluenose]

What a goal from Rodri!

 

[strathavenbear]

Man City have scored a couple of cracking goals this evening.

 

[Henry Hill]

So my stream is 1 minute behind

%^*& watching an old firm game like that

 

[Damask_Rose]

Regarding the broadcast, so far so good for me. Watching on 12 year-old Sony Bravia 32” inch TV via Amazon fire stick with no lag or buffering. Really happy to be getting all this football with existing Prime membership.

 

[dazzapat]

I've got a firestick plugged directly into the hdmi on my £50 projector I bought from Amazon and I have to say, the picture is fantastic!!!

 

[bigbluebomber]

Very good, 4K and HDR+ picture is fantastic on mynTV

 

[Didgeridoo]

So it works like this. Everyone thinks it great then, amazingly, somehow they win the rights to the PL and suddenly subscriptions to Prime trebles or more. Tell me I’m wrong. Just like Sky was in the nineties. How many more subscriptions will I need ?

 

[ronnieblue]

Only problem I can see is you can't record it?
Replays available from midnight though.

 

[YoungGer97]

Their coverage is very impressive. And included in the base price for Prime? Canny knock that. I dont really watch the PL and havent for years but i will watch it more now. Hope Prime pick up more leagues, actually really wanted them to get the SPFL rights when they were being negotiated.

 

[Wazza]

Why not?

Was soon answered.
