Everyone who's not in a "dark market" country! I had to watch it on a pay channel (DAZN) with Spanish commentators. I've no problem with the language, but would have preferred the RamsTV commentary.

KevinBrandon Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I look forward to watching Derby play more than anything. I honestly get a bit giddy before matches start. The fact that we can now watch matches we can't attend is just a dream. The main reason I wanted us to get promoted so much was so that I could watch all our games. Now I'm not even that bothered about going up, such is the greatness of being able to comfortably and affordably watch all our matches. And yet... RamsTV. I think I hate you. Where do I start? Well, let's go over the positives, first. Owen Bradley is great. And some of the guests are bearable. And we can watch (most of) the matches! (I'll come to that). This is (obviously), the biggest plus. And it's a huge plus. I will pay to watch Derby play whatever the quality of the output. It will massively outweigh any negative. I think that's all the pluses. Firstly, the service itself is shoddy. YouTube offers HD video for free, with ads. RamsTV offers a muddy, SD quality stream for a premium price, with ads, and regularly cutting out. It's not as bad as it was last season, but it's still pretty common to lose connection. Which is obviously unacceptable for a live, premium service.

RamNut Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I would assume that losing connection is more to do with your internet service. mine's a bit pants but i don't get too many problems with RamsTV particularly since installing an extender to improve signal strength. RamsTV has been a Mel triumph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StockholmRam Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I left home first time in 1981 to join the forces. In Germany and wherever else we got stationed it was literally a case of finding English Sunday morning papers, tuning into British Forces radio or even phoning home at 20.00 on Saturday night just to find the result. Fast forward to me coming to Sweden in 1999. The rare game on Swedish telly showing DCFC. Mobile phones and internet gave us Radio Derby. Apps gave us Radio Derby commentary out and about. So, this new current advent of Rams TV and me being able to actually watch every league match is basically the best thing ever as far as Im concerened. Now Im waiting for the 360 cameras and VR games so I can view it all as if Im in the stadium. Wont be long now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like the stadium full of cameras and interactive camera selection was preferred by test users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is obviously unacceptable for a live, premium service. The price for live games is set by the EFL - nothing the club can do about that, and it'll be impossible for it to be free on YouTube. Ads? Do you mean adverts during the half-time break? That's not going to stop and it's no different with any Sky/BT/other. Try upgrading your ISP. You'll also find the service is worse away than at home - it may not take you long to figure out why. The only alternative to RamsTV is the EFL's iFollow, which usually has worse picture quality, worse commentators and no studio talk (pre-match, half-time...)

RamNut Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Very good commentary v palace. I listened to radio Derby live and so have now seen the same incident via RamsTv, so can compare the two perspectives. The two punches by Roos on 93 minutes had Ed foaming at the mouth, and then being corrected by Eric Steele. Owen called it exactly as Eric did, calmly and without losing focus. On tv the commentator doesn't need to say as much, but the RamsTv standard seems more professional. the production and graphics are excellent too. I like seeing the parade of ex-Rams as guests. It was great to see Leon Osman back the other week. First time i've heard him interviewed about his time at Derby. I'd quite like to see a few villains back again e.g. Savage or Mad Billy Davies; even Paul Jewell. But NOT Phil Brown. I'm still not ready for that.

Rev Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I'll give some honest feedback. It's awesome to be able to see u18's/23's games live and for free. A few seasons ago you'd see a name appear on the 1st team teamsheet and wondered who it was, and what sort of player are they? Now you wonder when these kids will get a chance in the 1st team, having seen multiple times how good they are. It's been a fantastic tool to bring fans closer to the club beyond 1st team level , invested in the future players when they make the breakthrough, and quite smug when you realise other teams fans at our level aren't getting anywhere near the same level of access.

Mended it. incase anyone else gets the same problem - something might have got corrupted when buying a match on pay per view. It didn’t work and thereafter all ramstv videos crashed after 7 minutes repeatedly. tried google chrome - didn’t fix it tried clearing cache - didn’t fix it tried reset all settings - yes!
