A quick question:

Is there a website that tells you which iFollow games won't be showing?

You can typically tell which ones won’t be on, because they’ve been moved to some bizarre time (ie not Saturday at 3pm) for television.

Brilliant, cheers.

I'm guessing there's a problem with the website, though, as it's telling me that literally every remaining match is unavailable. Either that, or I really got shafted when I bought a season pass.

EDIT: I now realise this was just because I selected UK as my destination.

Great, now i know which games i need to watch on an illegal stream for free instead of through the subscription i pay.

I guess that they didn't consider that some people are in overseas areas where they don't:
a) have access to change the TV subscription in their accomodation to include the EFL overseas partner sports channels
b) feel that after paying more than a hundred quid for iFollow, that its then worth paying the extra to watch a few games a season on the EFL's Overseas partner

It’s not that they don’t feel like showing those games, contractually they cannot.
 
My only issue, as a non-streaming uk app user, is that the full games don't appear on the app even though there is a section devoted to full games. To watch the full games I need to go through the sufc website. It's a first world problem, but annoying all the same

Some guy who lives abroad has this ifollow thing and gets to watch full games. He streams them onto a popular social media site that rhymes with gracebook.

So if I can’t make away games (or home games), I don’t miss em. Watched the Hull game in Cyprus last week. Folk have donated a few quid to him to pay for his subscription.

Is this a recent change? I'm in Spain, we dont have an international broadcast partner but im sure blacked out games were not shown on iFollow previously and have had to watch on my TV on some dodgy slovak channel!

Don't know mate, my work PC is linked to my head office in Germany which isn't on the list.
 
Why the hell can't you watch other clubs' full match replays or even 10 minute highlights anymore?

Most of them use iFollow, and the subscription price isn't any lower than it was last year.
 
So I've not used this before but am in Germany tomorrow watching a game that ends just as we kick off, am I right in thinking that I can just register for an account on my phone once I get there and it won't care that it's a UK credit card I'll use, and I can watch the game on my phone just fine?
 
Not showing the Millwall game tomorrow for some reason and it isn't on TV in the US. So, of the next three league matches, only one is on being shown on iFollow. What a rip off.
 
SportKlub 3 are also showing it along with a few others so it should be pretty easy to find a decent stream. Mobdro sorted.

Rip off?

Let's see.

So far, including today, that's 20 games.

4 were on Sky and not shown (Boro, Pigs, Leeds, Brum)
2 were not shown as they were on other channels (Barnsley, Millwall). Radio commentary still available.

This was not a surprise. It's in the terms and conditions.

So that's 110 quid for 14 live games and 2 radio commentaries.

And there are 26 games left (at least 3 of which are on Sky).

That's bloody good value.

And people who live in the U.K. and complain about this have nothing to complain about. It isn't meant to be used by them.
 
I've emailed ifollow about the continual audio out of sync issue. It's generally 5 seconds behind the video and quite unwatchable to be honest. I'll post an update IF they reply.

Pause one or the other until they sync. It's easy

Totally agree.

The only frustrating part for me was when they weren't on iFollow and they weren't on TV down here, but now that BEIN Australia finally sorted it out, I'll not miss a match!

Alarm set for 01:50 tomorrow morning...

I think Melbourne blade means the actual video's sound (the crowd noise).
It does get frustrating, but like Revolution says, I just have the commentary in a separate tab and pause one or the other until they're in sync.
(and also make sure to mute phone so I don't get any BBC sport goal notifications a few seconds ahead of time!)
 

I may know someone who knows how to set up some very cheap IPTV channels that may be able to pick up todays games and about 5000 other channels.
