    I guess it’s because everyone uses LiveScore and Forza football alerts these days and the alerts are coming in before the goal is scored on tv. A simple solution would be for people to put their phones away when watching games.

    I watched the Liverpool game tonight armed only with Three mobile broadband and the picture quality was excellent.

    Are Amazon planning on streaming more games this season or is that our lot ?

    Ever think of investigating the problems as they're most likely your side. If you're using WiFi plug a decent laptop with gigabit Ethernet port in a test your wired speed. It's most likely local interference, nothing to do with your provider

    oh i've been on to virgin loads and eir and sky before them and explored all the avenues but while i can get a decent service at times, it never stays and if im streaming on one device, there is quite simply no hope for any other kind of internet connection ie if i want to dial into work or something id just be wasting my time.
    even plugged into the router, speeds are up and down like a yoyo.

    anyway, i got the bulk of the match this evening. only went haywire right after the final whistle do i couldnt get to watch the pundits which in fairness probably suited the wife!!

    Best part about it all was yesterday I was in three different houses visiting and each one logged onto my prime account using different methods and everyone was happy.

    The value this model gives blows sky etc out of the water and if amazon play their cards well sky etc will be in big trouble.

    Excellent service, flicked on and off games between the constant watching of the Gruffalo etc with the kids......

    Been able to bring my fire stick with me as well on hols is brill


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,583 ✭✭✭LowOdour


    Watched 3 games yesterday, picture/streaming quality was excellent.

    If Amazon provided a few games a month to start off with, would definitely ditch Netflix for it

    I always mute alerts for games I'm actually watching. Well used to it after years of dodgy streams!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,958 ✭✭✭✭Shefwedfan


    What I did like, which I know Sky has as well but this was easier, so I was watching game.....came back and a couple of goals.....was really easy to just go back in and watch replays......

    I have amazon on 3 months but with this and decent seletion Imight keep as well as Netfliz......I canned Sky a few months back

    Streaming is the future, but the delay is a problem that has to be resolved asap.

    It's not something that can be resolved though, it's the internet, there is something like a 40 second buffer AFAIK...

    I know on the internet radio station I am on we have a gap of about 40 seconds between live and what is going out, I assume similar applies to the TV, infact, audio and video combined probably have worse of a delay...

    Unless your willing to pay a couple of 100k and then 10K a year rental for dark fibre delay is not going to disappear.....

    As speeds of internet increase so has the quality. Take the quality of the premiership images from 10 years ago and pump them. Down the same lines you would have minimal delay but then everyone would be complaining of sh*t

    Have been looking at a family member's account. I see a their UK account is laid out much different to an Irish one. One example being there's lots to purchase on the UK side. Am able watch Fleabag series 2 in Ireland, but the UK version requires a payment as it's not included with Prime.

    Just curious if anyone who has settings changed to UK seen this particular change occurring everything now in £sterling?

    Hoping someone might be able to help....

    I signed up for the 6 months student deal that was posted here but I cannot seem to see the games being listed on the Amazon video app.

    Is there something else I need to subscribe to? Thanks!

    Don't forget to cancel if you only signed up for the football.

    Yes but some only signed up for football and may not want anything else that's offered.
