So come on , what happened to the thread about Emma ? , Go to work it's on page 8 , come home and it's gone 

 

No one could read it any more as it was covered like a plasterer's radio by a few of the posters unable to control themselves.

Yep, you seem desperate to find a legitimate reason not to watch Championship RL. If you can't/don't want to pay for it thats absolutely fine, just say that.

You have said this kind of thing many times before Gav and it comes across as quite arrogant. As a starting point do you have any idea of the demographic spread of Championship RL fans and of their IT skills? Just because you find it easy doesn't make those who don't the contrarians.

Many of my watching friends have looked at the availability and what they need to do to access it and have decided against. They do regularly spend their money on travelling home and away to watch their team, however.

If you don't have Sky Sports then the Premier channels are relatively inaccessible.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

It really honestly isn't Jonny. It's easier now than it ever has been to access the channel. 

Not on a TV unless you are prepared and technically able to go through the casting palaver. See my earlier post and respond to my comments about demographics. If you read elsewhere about Virgin customers trying to get access and it is a mini nightmare. If you have Sky Sports then it is fine, if you don't then you might as well go the whole hog, get yourself a hacked Firestick and get it all for nothing.

Personally I am capable of jumping through the hoops - my point is that it shouldn't be necessary.

I'm afraid thats the future of television BSJ. In a few years it'll all be online and on demand via apps, in fact it almost is right now (now I have Sky Glass I no longer even have an aerial or sky dish on my house). People have to move with the times.

The Premier Player app is absolutely fine for this.

It'll be a long time before it is all online. It is nowhere near all online now. Miles away.

It's not that long ago analogue was switched off! 

Sometimes we need to step back from our bubbles and realise there are plenty out there who do not consume stuff like us. Of course online is key with streaming services, but the majority of channels in the UK are through tv's, and there is no indication that changes. 

Things like Sky Glass are fixing a problem rather than being a game changer in innovation.

Just watched the highlights and I have to say Premier Sports are a vastly improved outfit compared to when I subscribed previously. The quality of the footage and all round production was excellent. 

I think Mark Wilson is an excellent commentator and far better than any of the Sky commentators. Kev Brown and Leon Pryce compliment this with chiming in at the right times with thoughtful analysis.

On the whole the production was very watchable and preferable to what we often see on Sky. Really impressive especially considering the budget differences between the two companies and the value of the respective TV rights.

I agree, my only issue was Premier Player is good but not outstanding. I kept getting buffering when on my phone and the quality when casted was way behind what I would expect on a large TV. 

But they did a good job, hopefully it goes from strength to strength.

Worked fine for me last week, could set it casting then close the app on the phone (other casting options sometimes don’t allow that)

You still choose to ignore my first point Gav and do take into account that we are talking about now. If we can't get access for the majority of current Championship fans there may not be this future that you confidently predict.

Who says the majority of current fans can’t access it?

I really struggle to believe that a majority of championship fans can't use the internet these days. My eighty-five year old mother-in-law seems to get on just fine.

Terrestrial signal is the easier signal to send and to recieve and cheapest. So will always be big, technically gifted or not. It travels a lot further than 4g, 5g or WiFi although not as far as satellite transmissions which are super expensive in comparison anyway.

Was Emma any good?
