RTV? Completed it mate!
See post #2 for some Quick Tips covering the most frequently raised issues. It should be your first port of call if you’ve a problem. I will still be around to help when I can, but plan on being less active on this thread as more and more folk are now familiar with RangersTV and its ‘intricacies’. If you’ve some advice to share with other posters, jump in and help your fellow Bears.
Next Match
The Rangers v Dundee match on Tuesday (14 May 24, 1930hrs) will be available for purchase from RangersTV. The match will only be available to those overseas, or to those with a VPN to appear overseas. Cost will be £9.99. You may see the offer of a 2 or 3 Day Unlimited Package rather than the individual match. If so, that is fine, as it represents even better value, with access to all subscriber content for 72 hours. It is only offered on an occasional basis though. The match is available to Unlimited subscribers as part of their subscription package.
Do NOT Login before attempting to purchase the match. The purchase process will take you through Login. The first link below will take you to the purchase page. You need to be overseas or ‘overseas’ via a VPN to see the game offered for purchase.
NOTE: RangersTV purchases must be made via the website NOT the App.

Clubs are permitted to screen just 5 Home league matches per season within the UK, provided they are not live on Sky. So far, we have had six (Motherwell, Hearts, St Mirren, St Johnstone, Kilmarnock and now Ross County) this season. A separate agreement with Sky saw our figure increased to 7 for this season. However, with Sky showing both post-split fixtures live then there will be no 7th game live within the UK on RangersTV.

Basics
New season, 2023/24, so here is a slight refresh of the OP from the above thread. All guidance below is for desktop/laptop. Whatever device you use for your viewing, I would recommend using the website rather than the (poor) App.
1. All domestic matches can be viewed on RangersTV provided you are overseas or have access to a VPN to make it appear they are overseas. Note: TNT/BTSport have exclusive coverage of European group stages (plus CL Play-Off Round) and beyond and these cannot be shown on RangersTV.
2. I recommend a good quality paid-for VPN. The Club have links with NordVPN. Any VPN will slow down your connection and can lead to buffering. A free/cheap VPN will generally slow it down more than a good quality one. A discount deal is normally available from the Rangers/NordVPN affiliate link below. See post #8 below for a tip to potentially save some more money, though I can’t personally verify it works.

Buying the Match
3. If you do not have the Unlimited (overseas) subscription then you need to PPV. You can only purchase matches via the website and not via the App.
4. Switch on your VPN and set it to a location near to the UK. France, Belgium, The Netherlands are all favourites.
5. To check that its worked, if you want to, click on the following link. It should show you as located in the country of your choice, though not necessarily your precise location.

6. Go to the RangersTV Home page. Do NOT login. Click on any button that says Subscribe. Click to purchase the game and the purchase process will take you through Login as part of the payment process. Do not worry about any messages regarding an existing subscription just click through them. You do not need a UK address or UK bank details to purchase. Once your purchase is made you can relax and wait until about an hour before kick-off time.
Viewing the Match
7. If you have turned it off, go back and turn on your VPN and set it to your location of choice. Normally, around 1 hour before the match (though sometimes it is much less) the Watch Live button will appear on the RangersTV Home page.

8. Go to the RangersTV Home page (with your VPN set to overseas) and Login. When the Watch Live button appears, click on it. If the stream is ‘live’ you will normally get the placeholder page from about 1 hour before kick-off. ‘Moving pictures’ generally appear about half an hour before kick-off. If you cannot find the game, scroll down to the section headed RangersTV Latest and the game should appear in there. If you are not seeing the Watch Live button - and are sure your VPN is working properly – Refresh a few times or maybe try logging out, clear cache/cookies the login and try again. In extremis, try rebooting your device.
9. To make sure you get sound, either roll your mouse over the top left-hand corner of the video window and click on Unmute when it appears – or simply go to the Enlarge icon in the bottom right and go Full Screen, which will unmute automatically.
Finally, just for clarity, please note I am nothing to do with RangersTV and never have been. Just a poster who has been using the service for a few years who has got his head around some of the more common problems and is happy to share any advice I can pass on.
