Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Laptop-HDMI cable - Smart TV. Very good and very impressed. Well done to all. Sure I could have found something wrong if we hadn’t won though, although not sure what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeedsCityRam Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It was my first time watching RamsTV as I've got Sky so normally watch the midweek matches via the red button. Overall, was impressed. Commentary was absolutely Sky/BT standard and liked Shane Nicholson's contribution also. Plenty of graphics and replays. Not sure if this has been covered on another thread but interesting to consider if the current 'new normal' has an effect on how we view our football in future i.e. will it be possible at some point to buy a virtual season ticket & watch all games including Sat 3pm kick off games? I was talking to another Derby fan here in Leeds, we both have young families and plenty of commitments outside of work but would jump at the chance to pay to stream matches remotely beyond these 9 games. Not the same as going to games of course but is a) more income for the club & b) keeps fans actively engaged with what is going on at the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewe Ram Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Really enjoyed it, thanks @OwenB87 the crowd noise was from Millwall, couldn’t you hear that dreadful Millwall drone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they did the sound quite well. Just a generic white noise style background buzz and no canned applause or cheers. And no cheezy stadium music when the goals were scored.

Bob The Badger Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I only ever seen games this way living in the US so it was normal for me minus crown noise. Ive always liked Sinner and Owen. Although I didn't know they done it remotely and did notice. Do they always? but who cares? A great performance and result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesaRam Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I watched via Smart TV - virtually no problems at all. I was a bit worried because I couldn't register the pass code via the TV, and had to do that via the laptop. The wording of the DCFC email made me think I would have to watch all the matches on the laptop, but had a sneaky log on via the tv and it was on there as well. IT was way better than the laptop/hdmi as there was no delay or fuzzy picture quality. Also with the laptop I can't get the audio into the tv and sound system, so have to make do with the tinny laptop speakers. Not today - everything worked a treat, and I think that DCFC mean that you can watch the matches on whatever device you want to watch it on, rather than only watching it on the device you registered the code on. Brilliant! I also noticed that my son who was watching in Ilkeston was a few seconds ahead of us - he Whatsapped a comment on the second goal while we were still watching the ball go into the net! And I'm still glowing after all this time! What a result! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archram Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Once I got into it, I didn’t notice the sound effects at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 Never used it for a first team match before so was a bit concerned the streaming might struggle with so many watching. Was pleasantly surprised to see how well it coped, the stream remained stable for me at least for the full 90. Really good production as always too.

It was much better than using a chromebook and linking to TV with HDMI cable. Generally speaking the coverage is very good. Occasionally the camera used wasn't too good - specifically remember Tom going on a run, they zoomed in on him and consequently we had no idea what was happening around him. The cameras are the responsibility of the home side. There’s nothing we can do about that when we’re away. 1 hour ago, Nishfan said: only improvements would be post match interviews & discussion & I prefer no fake crowd noise, but from other posts perhaps out of RamsTV’s control. Never thought about it before - would be a good addition, but I feel a lot of fans simply switch the stream off at full time. Perhaps a deeper post-match show would keep more fans tuned in? @OwenB87, what are your thoughts? 1 hour ago, LeedsCityRam said: It was my first time watching RamsTV as I've got Sky so normally watch the midweek matches via the red button.

I think the pricing in the UK is set by the EFL. As such, people (located in the UK) buying match passes are restricted to £10 per game. 34 minutes ago, Bob The Badger said: I only ever seen games this way living in the US so it was normal for me minus crown noise.

As far as I know it’s always been the same. You tend to notice more when the hole side has a poor selection of camera views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BramcoteRam84 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 It’s so much better now OB does the commentary. Shane Nicholson is excellent as well. Very impressed.

Mucker1884 Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 "For fans who have waited since March to see a glimpse of their team in action, the afternoon began in frustrating fashion for many, after a technical issue hit the streaming of Championship games on the iFollow system.

Cheers Mel. ? It's true to say that RamsTV also had teething problems early on when there were large numbers watching, particularly with preseason friendlies and also I think there was a Middlesbrough game where they had no streaming service and hooked up as well. They have however been very good over the last couple of seasons with problems seeming to be particular and not general. The football league really should have had all bases covered having had time to prepare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teething problems come with new tech, and new approaches, and should be expected, but as your last sentence refers, i-follow can't be putting yesterday's shenanigans down to "teething problems". Anyway... I've bigged up RamsTV enough over the past 24 hours... don't want to big 'em up any more, as I don't wanna jinx it, as there's still 8 games to go! ?

Norman Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 The crowd noise reminded me of World Cup 2010 in South Africa. Brought back memories of Carragher at CB and Rob Green in goal. Eurgh. Rams TV is top notch though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
