Branston Pickle 3,598 Posted March 30, 2021 (edited) This wasn’t unexpected - counts as a weekend away game, but the way the info was set out at the start of the season was anything but clear Edited March 30, 2021 by Branston Pickle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I take it you’re referring to iFollow’s technological challenges, rather than their presentation? As it ****es all over the red button which is one apparently poor quality camera (granted that could be partly because some grounds seem to have lashed a few electric torches together to use as floodlights) and when we’re away, a commentator who seems to know as much about the opposition as my cat.

Yeah I agree. Assuming it actually works, iFollow coverage is loads better than the red button. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry, off topic, but this still annoys me. Once stayed off work and sat in all morning, as agreed, for a maintenance appointment – left for work then later got a message to say the engineer couldn’t gain access. I phoned that it was agreed that it would be in the morning – call centre said “Well the engineer got there at 12.50”. But that’s not the morning, yes it is, no, pm is afternoon that’s what the pm means, I’ll check with my supervisor, sorry sir my supervisor says 12.50pm is in the morning. I went elsewhere and got the job done the next morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hate that too - unfortunately sometimes things can run a little late, but a courtesy call is all it takes. i had a strange one with BT a while ago - engineer booked to visit house, never turned up. I called to chase, and they said he managed to fix the fault without having to enter the property. However as he missed the arranged appointment I got a standard compensation payment from them. Cant remember the figure, but was a nice gesture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky Sports red button is a thousand times worse than ifollow. They only have one camera for a start. Honestly don't know what people expect. We're, mostly, getting free coverage with decent enough commentators for the most part. It has replays and various angles... Why must some just moan about everything?! No idea. I'll be watching. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, I agree with this 100% Red button is poor in comparisson with no replays and just one camera angle for a start. The home teams commentary on away games can be pretty dire but it won't last much longer once the restrictions lift. Last away game I switched between Sky red button and iFollow and it took no more than 15mins for me to decide to stick with iFollows coverage, including the commentary in some wierd accent. All said I think it's come on in leaps and bounds this year, much to their credit. Unfortunately I don't have a cat to ask for his opinion. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,204 Posted March 31, 2021 My only criticism of ifollow, given that I haven't suffered any connection problems at all, is that they often miss action by showing a replay, or by holding the camera on off-field people. Whoever is directing is clearly learning on the job. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you think about the amount of communications infrastructure in between the camera at the ground and you though, it's hardly surprising. It's not using dedicated equipment designed solely for broadcasting and being sent over the airwaves, but sharing lots of fibre and possibly copper cabling, routers, switches etc on its journey , and probably being sent on a circuitous route halfway round the country. Plus it's being displayed on who knows what device at the final destination. For someone who grew up loading programs from a cassette player onto a Sinclair Spectrum (which could take 10 minutes in itself), it is still kind of miraculous.
