Wasnt happy but to be fair once it got sorted it played without buffering or issues. 
I can forgive.

I'm pleased with the club's response about the technical issues. It was the first paid league game and if there are going to be issues they are most likely to happen on the first match. Teething problems. They sorted it out after 40 mind for me. Obviously I would have liked it not to happen. It was frustrating. 
I believe the club is doing it's very best to give us what we want within the constraints. Very pleased with the quality and looking forward to watching around 40 matches this season! 
Give them a chance to fix the teething issues and they will deliver, I am sure. 
I won't be going to Drayton Manor though, no matter how many times I see the ad. 

too late for a refund?

I've already requested my £5 refund.

Send them an email saying you're Tired Of Waiting All Day And All Of The Night to sort The Kinks out. 

Late? It started at 10pm in Perth!
Seriously though, let's all  give it a few weeks to sort itself out....It's only  managers we start whining about - and calling for changes -in the first few weeks...

They don't press themselves!

Or out of his mind when he thinks he bought it

I agree...plus there is the fact that it is brand new to them and us.
Just the confusion over the broadcast rights in Australia (and some other country mentioned in our Constitution) alone suggests there's a learning curve going on. 

I received this response directly from the EFL with regard to Sky games being broadcast in Australia:
'In terms of EFL broadcast rights in Australia, at present we can only advise that discussions remain ongoing and, if and when, any rights package is agreed for this territory it will be announced in due course.'
Not very helpful. But at least we know that somebody is talking to somebody....

Welcome and don't worry. There are plenty of comments made by people who haven't seen the football - it seems that way anyway 

A further correction: it seems ESPN3 (now called WatchESPN) has the broadcast rights everywhere outside the UK and Ireland bar Australia and NZ, and the rights for Australia and NZ have yet to be awarded.
So the broadcast matches on Sky involving Derby aren't permitted on Rams TV anywhere in the world, but nor  can they be legitimately accessed at all here in Australia/NZ. All I am going to say is it had better be fixed before October 12 (I think it is).

A degree of patience is needed here. If it was up to DCFC, every game would be streamed live. Their hands are tied by other forces as far as streaming rights goes.

Your story seems similar to mine. I'm extremely surprised that the rights don't seem to have been awarded in Australia and NZ yet. It's money for old rope, given (as I assume) the large amount of EFL followers down under. I can only assume mass incompetence at some level behind the scenes. I've tried to get more info and have contacted both Beinsports and the EFL directly. But I've had no response from the latter and the former just gave vague answers about the rights not being announced. 
I managed to watch the match the other day by signing up to Bet365 and depositing $10 into my bet account. I managed to get a pop-out screen large enough to fill most of my computer screen. Worked out ok, but I'd prefer not to have signed up for this. It made be very uncomfortable signing up to a betting site and there were several enticements to get me to put down a bet. I refuse to bet - it's dangerous, especially for somebody with an addictive personality. But needs must. I think I will be able to watch most Sky matches this way and I'd recommend giving it a go (with caution). 

I could have sworn I just said that Dave.
Obviously the failure to award the broadcasting rights in Australia and NZ for the EFL is a league issue, not a Derby issue. It might not even be the league's "fault" as such.
And congrats on being so aware of the situation. It might shock you but it takes a little more proactive effort in Australia to clarify the situation with the EFL rights in Australia than it does when you live in Derby.
When I subscribed to Rams TV, the "headline" content said "all games". I didn't read the FAQs or the finer print; I didn't complain about that although I'd argue that an alternate form of wording would've alerted me to the situation.
At the end of the day, I would still have purchased Rams TV; presumably I would have learned that I'd be listening to the RD service - as I have for years - for the first game. The only difference for me is that I now actively hope for Derby NOT to be on Sky instead of the other way around because I get to watch us live....hence the allusion (intended to be wry) to the Forest game. 
If it's not dealt with before then, it could be the first time in quite a few years that I have not watched a Derby-Forest match live (although, if a few things fall into place in the next few weeks, I might even be in England and scrounging for tickets on October 12).
I was only trying to inform others as I worked what was going on. No one accused the club of setting out to mislead so I'm sorry if you or anyone else felt that was the implication.
Just so you understand, I was first alerted to the non-telecast of the match at about 4am by a fellow Derby fan (insomnia can be a good thing on occasion). Had I read his message properly, I would have realised the implications for Foxtel, our pay TV service that carries both Bein and ESPN...but I didn't. I was trying to find a stream for him thinking I had it on Foxtel anyway...only to sit down at 4.35am-ish to realise that ESPN1 and 2 are carried by Foxtel, not ESPN3, which google told me (and others) had the broadcast rights.
Foxtel's site told me that I could access ESPN3 and the EFL matches online if I registered online (free because it's part of my existing subscription).
My registration failed because I access Foxtel through my telco. My telco had to discuss with Foxtel how I could register; once resolved (Monday), purely because I learn eventually to double-check when I can't see the EFL on the ESPN3 menu, I re-googled the situation.
The situation has been updated via an article halfway down the second page of a google search that ESPN3 has the rights for everywhere other than Australia and NZ. No decision has yet been made about Australia/NZ rights and no timeframe is available.
Sorry about the level of detail.
I'm not so deluded to think that anyone is especially interested in what I do at 4am but to illustrate that you might have known what was going on but an interested, reasonably intelligent Derby fan the world away didn't.
Nor, I'll wager, did most like me. 
Now...if anyone can let me know where I can get a voodoo doll for Sky Sports to use if they're considering telecasting Derby matches until this is resolved, I'd be appreciative.
 
PS: All those who bag Craig Ramage on RD...tell me you don't want to ban him from taking holidays after his fill-in?

Is that you Mr Clooney? 

Melbourne. Signed up a week or so ago.
Was always going to, so much so that I didn't even read the package details. First thought when I saw the GBP110 price was "What? Why so much more expensive than Rams Player?" And started to subscribe monthly....Then I remembered someone on here saying all games would be streamed for overseas subscribers....
Checked what you get: full, live streaming of all Derby matches, plus the choice of the in-house or Radio Derby commentary. Sold! Well worth every cent....errr...every...errr...what does "p" stand for again?

Any news on an actual app for rams TV?...the old EFL ramsplayer had a app on both apple and Google stores and it dispensed with having to log in each time to listen to commentary.....made it a lot easier to use in the car especially
 

Absolutely thrilled with Mel doing this, great to be able to see all the games here in North Carolina.

I believe mine is rather marvellous. I've had it for 40+ years and it's never been used either.

If you read the match thread on a Saturday evening it sometimes sounds like there was 11 of them on the pitch. 

So many to think of.
I remember the dark narrow streets around the ground. The packed popside on a fa cup replay in January with stream rising up from the crowd.
Footballing wise wasn't great to start with. My memories started around the time of the 3 - 2 victory v Arsenal. I remember a lot of fans favorites like Charlie George,  Archie Gemmill,  Roy McFarland and The King returning to the Hallowed Turf. They weren't the answer to our slide. Growing up through the years with Derby at the BBG was like a soap opera. With the crowd surrounding the pitch and legging up a Fulham player. Talk of having to replay the match and empty terraces. 
A slide to Division 3 then a climb back to the top flight.
I can remember our first season at Pride Park looking out of the West Stand concourse window and seeing the old BBG floodlights and thinking I miss that place already.
