These refund codes we all got the other week. Can they be use for any game? Like a Saturday home game?

Don’t think they work on VPN. Someone tried at the weekend IIRC.

I (stupidly) used it on the Oxford game with a vpn and it worked fine. I say stupidly as the full price was only something like €6 (think I was in The Hague at the time ).

Should work Saturday with a vpn.

Right, I need some help with this today. It looks like I am going to miss the game in person as my partner is (understandably) a little wary re being on her own with a 9 day old baby who has decided to become very fussy the last 2 days!

Last time I tried this for a Saturday game, I couldn't get a VPN on my laptop (so couldn't use a HDMI) and I couldn't get the iPad to cast to the tv.

I have various different bits of kit; MacBook Air, Apple TV, Chromecast and iPad. Can someone advise:

1) How I can watch the game today using those tools?
2) How do I get a VPN working and can you recommend a free one?

Thanks in advance!!

With a 9 day old baby I'd get:
- Windscribe VPN on your Macbook
- Noise cancelling headphones
- A room with the door closed

Think you'll struggle with casting whilst using a VPN so might just have to watch it on your laptop.

You’re better off using a paid VPN if it’s going to be a long term thing, I’d suggest Nord VPN

I use expressvpn (paid for but always works), iPad and Apple TV. It doesn’t always work seamlessly, but any issues I have are always to do with iFollow itself, logging in usually. Again I’ll say Apple TV works with a VPN (in theory).

I always (now) try to get it sorted 30mins before KO as it often takes a conversation with their ‘support’ (I use the word support loosely) and a password reset (which doesn’t always seem to work if you do it yourself).

Good luck!

Cheers - although I hope it isn't long term, as I have a season ticket!

As in screen mirroring from iPad to the TV via Apple TV? Yea I have issues logging in too - it is a shocking system I have to say. I know this is a basic question, but how do you know the VPN is working? On the iPad I just turn the app on, but not sure on the MacBook!

How well does the Coventry City app work with ifollow on android? Considering giving it a go and casting it to the TV today.

Congratulations on the birth of your baby.
I watch ifollow on an ipad. Works a treat. Never tried it on a laptop though I know you can.
I have a lead that connects the ipad to my TV. Everyting works...apart from ifollow, so me and my son are huddled around the laptop every match!
The VPN I use is Express VPN. It's pretty decent.

Cheers. As it stands I’m using a Chrome extension (setupvpn) and linked the laptop via Apple TV, and it seems to be working so far.....

Some weird camera angles today, stuck in bed ill

Didn't fancy shitting myself on the m6

Anyone else’s audio well ahead of the visual ?

Commentary is 5 seconds ahead of play for me today too

same. can't be that difficult can it?

Commentary is ahead. Anyone know how to fix it?

It’s been commentary behind so far this season which is the lesser of two evils. Had to turn sound off now.

I mean it's actually closer to 8 seconds delay in the picture. That's crazy.

Does this system ever work properly?! Watching in silence is shit!

And now it keeps freezing every few seconds!

I'm just doing my own commentary. Pronounce a few names wrong and then get the players mixed up and then once every 15 minutes I'll be Martin Winch and make the most boring, inane, unrelated to the football comment, that I can think of.

Is anyone else’s freezing or is it my connection?

also freezing. have to avoid the main match thread because it's about 3 mintues ahead!

No freezing here

I've got Blackpool commentary, it's behind but it's not that bad. Morrell is on

how do you change commentary?

Doesn't work at all for me again. Cannot even log on. Even though I have VPN on, when I click to sign in it says 'access restricted from this location'. Trying to clear history and cookies in case this is cached but no joy.

Odd thing is, last week I was able to sign on once the game was finished.

Can you pick comms on ifollow ?

Now it’s way behind - omg!

Second half’s started and now my audio is behind the video stream. Seems they tried to sort it out at half time and fucked it up the other way instead lol

video now appears to be ahead of commentary... which is slightly better!

Commentary is now behind. If it has to be out of sync then rather this.
