TuffLuff Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 (edited) Was unwatchable for me, only persisted because we were winning and my superstitious football brain made me think if I kept refreshing every 40 seconds then we wouldn’t concede. Will stick to Radio Derby and Rams TV for now I think. I’m presuming, because it wasn’t just our game that had these issues, that sky have made an app that can’t support thousands of fans logging on to different live streamed events at one time. Who could predict that could be an issue that would need resolving before the season?? As mentioned I think on twitter, all Sky have done is keep their app how it was before it was Sky Sports + whilst not solve any problems or making the necessary improvements. I can’t see why, especially to begin with, you couldn’t spread the games onto skygo and spread the load whilst you sort teething problems. Yeah you might get a pub here and there who would find ways to stream the game (the type of pubs that will do this one way or the other anyway) but surely that’s better than the thousands who got a rubbish service yesterday? Also more fans get to watch games on a tv and you get more casual viewing figures. This is another one of Sky’s ‘having their cake and eating it’ moments where they have the monopoly, and only need to do little things to make an enjoyable project but seemingly refuse to budge on doing the bare minimum.

Elwood P Dowd Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 I’m watching Sunderland and Sheff Wed, the picture quality is horrible when the camera is not zoomed in, the focus doesn’t seem to be working properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foreveram Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Just watched the advert for SKY TV with a stadium full of diverse fans singing their praises, while in reality you have an away end full of mainly young angry white men singing sky tv is f****** s*** 😂 cstand, Rammy03, swadieram and 2 others 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Sky Sports + is just the red button with more games and a fancy marketing campaign aimed at getting new subscribers. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artram Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Couldn’t watch it on NowTV. Worked well for about 10 seconds and then froze totally requiring a total restart so gave up. Would hope that with so many people having issues they do something about it but suspect I’m being overly optimistic SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 For me, Boro game froze for around 5 seconds every one or two minutes. Massively frustrating. Chesterfield, on the other hand, was a smooth experience. Sharp picture. No problem. Rev 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not really au fait with how the streaming works but maybe they had each connected to a different Sky server? In the old days when with Plusnet you used to be able to specify the server to connect to, it made a difference. At least I think that's how it was I could be misremembering! 😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuffolkRam Posted August 19 Share Posted August 19 Now TV was rubbish for me to start with. after waiting for the pausing to finish it eventually sorted itself out, just running 5 minutes behind, so caught a post about Wilson going off injured when cashin was on the deck SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I'm sure it's been mentioned but I've forgotten, how much do we get from the Sky tv deal? "The new Sky EFL deal will mean Derby County are likely to receive between £9M -£11M more TV revenue in the Championship than they did in League One," Ratcliffe tells Derbyshire Live."

Mucker1884 Posted August 26 Share Posted August 26 Just thinking/querying out loud... I watched the Blackburn game via my SkySports subscription through NowTV*. I don't recall any negative from that coverage (From a technical pov, not on the pitch! LOL). Was at the game v Boro, but noticed quite a number of moans about the Sky stream for that game. When I signed up, I got a 1 month offer for "Boost", which apparently ups the ante from the standard 720p to full 1080p HD (amongst other things). Prior to my 1st month offer coming to an end, I had every intention to cancel it (Just the Boost bit, that is). It'll cost me an additional £6pm if I allow it to continue... cancel any time. Now I'm wondering if that has anything to do with it? I presume it does, but you may be surprised to learn that I actually have very little techy knowledge, if truth be told. 😜 Did I get good coverage of the Blackburn game due to having Boost? Did those disgruntled watchers of the Boro game all watching without Boost? Do I cancel Boost or not? What do others think? Etc. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We then split the subscription costs 3 ways between us. Don't know if that helps answer your question though?! Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory no... but appreciate your response anyway! 😁🍻 I did notice it said Boost (£6pm) makes it available on 2 devices (versus one device on standard/"Unboosted", or 3 devices on "Ultra Boost" (£9pm). Neither really affects me, although technically I could share with one (interested) son, but as he flits twixt Southern France and Ukraine (In reality, not via VPN Airways! LOL), last I heard, he's all sorted anyway. No, I just wondered if Boost gives a better signal/transmission than unboosted (Or is it just a better quality picture, but with the same potential for technical streaming issues/buffering etc as folk were experiencing for the Boro game)? 🍻 EDIT: Just checked again... For info... Ultra Boost (£9) gives 3 devices + 4K Ultra HD HDR + Dolby Atmos + Ad Free Boost (£6) gives 2 devices + Full HD 1080p + 5.1 surround sound + Ad Free Standard gives 1 device + 720p res + Stereo + Ads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it's carried on for existing/longer running subscriptions (You?), but then changed for new users when they brought in the so-called superior Ultra-boost? That's assuming you've had this for a while? 🤷♂️ Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
