it is sky blue player rebranded so club will get some of the money for sure.
You would have thought it would have to, like Sky Blues Player.
I can't imagine they've built the system from the ground up, would be too much work and too expensive. They will probably use existing infrastructure. I know MLB run services for others (NHL and WWE are both on their platform). They allow catch up immediately so fingers crossed for something similar.The only sticking point is that live games start at silly o'clock here in California so I am hoping it's the kind of service where you can watch at any time.
I doubt they will advertise the VPN stuff but somebody will find a way around it
If there is, I will hassle VPN providers etc for group discount for here
So I'm guessing Kodi will be perfect for all this then?
Presume it will be a feed from the camera used for highlights with the CWR commentary stuck over the top.
WWE streams seemed to have dropped massively since they started their own legit service. They had a big clampdown on streams when it first started and as its only $9.99 a month for a perfect HD legal stream I think most people go for that. NHL streams have been clamped down on as well since MLB took it over, seems the streams you can find are from TV.On the WWE and NHL one, how easy are there for people to get a legit stream and then just share it? As it's on the computer would have thought it was rife with streams then being fed of it?*
I guess if there's a plugin made for it and a VPN connection, or somebody streams every game.
Had no idea what Kodi was until I saw this yesterday...So I'm guessing Kodi will be perfect for all this then?
Ha good luck with that I say! Most of the streamers live in foreign country's so we've got no worries!Had no idea what Kodi was until I saw this yesterday...
New law means using a Kodi box to illegally stream TV could lead to 10 years in jail

For those planning to use a VPN you will need a decent one to stream HD because the free ones will be too slow. I use F-secure Freedome which is a good price and very fast. (although you will still need a decent internet connection speed)
i have 6 meg. fast enough?
You will struggle with HD I'm afraid
It's a whole other world above 4ft10.
As for watching us on tv for most games. Not for me.
Nearly cried I was so happy with this announcement last night. Beyond my wildest dreams! No more Eakinballs!
I've lived abroad for 11 years now and been subscribed to SkyBlues Player for most of that, listening to city every Saturday afternoon. It's been fucking painful. CWR's interviews are woeful, the commentary worse and more often than not (Dave Bennett, Claus Jorgensen and Marcus Hall aside) their guest commentators are ex players out on a jolly for the day without a clue of the player names or recent history, several times in the last couple of years if they lose the link, they cut over to Wasps commentary.Fuck me, you need to get out more mate.
I think this is a fantastic package, but watch the price rocket in the 2/3 year.
Wish this had come a few years earlier when I lived in the middle of nowhere in France.
So will there be an option for fans here in the UK to buy this so they can watch away games too ?
This true and I wasn't being serious.You'd be surprised. I bet we will get about 300-500 overseas fans who sign up. If we start to do well in L2, that number will increase even more. I've lived in many countries around the world and I am always amazed how many Cov fans I get to meet.
They just get whichever player is in for the Former Players Association most of the time don't they? Would prefer it if they had a handful of people like Jorgensen who are local and good at it and just rotated them round every few weeks.(Dave Bennett, Claus Jorgensen and Marcus Hall aside) their guest commentators are ex players out on a jolly for the day without a clue of the player names or recent history

Like hearing the old boys before the match but when they clearly haven't seen us in months / years and don't know who anyone is they aren't adding much to the commentary.
The girlfriend won't be happy about this!
Yes I think that's right, would much prefer an extended interview reminiscing with them at half time (like they do at tea on the cricket) or before the game even and get a decent co-commentator in.They just get whichever player is in for the Former Players Association most of the time don't they?

But CWR will still be going I'm sure so the points are still valid. Andd no chance there'll be commentary unless it's a fan doing it for free! Used to like the old sky option on occasion, when you could pick the two rival fans commentating. For the current SB Player highlights, I'm 99% sure the commentary is added after the game, just something a little too wooden about it.i cant see efl paying for commentaters for every game
