I'm still undecided on whether I'm going to purchase this. I don't feel particularly compelled to buy a subscription when it is relatively to find an online stream anyway. For someone who knows how to find online streams (a relatively simple task) and has no qualms doing so, is this worth $150?
Reckon it probably is if you're like me and tend to watch the games the next day or over the next week. Unsure about the quality of streams you manage to find, but I imagine the quality will be better too.
Then there's always the warm fuzzy feeling you get knowing you're paying for the content :p
I've mentioned before but just be aware for about a 1/3 of the games of the team you support you'll have to watch live in the early hours as only 26 (of 38) games will be available to view outside of the actual time the game is played (ie 'On demand')
This is my major sticking point, i can handle using Apple TV, or plugging in laptop etc and i like the fact 'magazine style' shows will accessible on my iPad, but for supporters of the top 8 clubs (at least) whose games were available EVERY week on demand (via recording on MySky), this will be very different.
I dont want to wake up at 3am on a Sunday/Monday morning to watch my team... I loved the fact my 2 boys and I could watch our team play every Sunday or Monday morning on MySky...
I wish they'd partner with a Freeview channel and screen games that way as well, so i could record them...
I thought this too, but I have mentioned in above posts that it isn't true.
It turns out that the games that are outside of the 250 that are available for multiple views, are available to be watched once - either live or on demand. So you can in effect watch all your Spurs (I assume) games on demand, its just that you won't be able to watch a handful of them twice.
It is slightly annoying in that it may require a bit of coordination with others in your household for a couple of games, but it is a lot better than originally thought - which was that you'd have to get up and watch them live, as you said above.
It also means that you can watch ALL games live or on demand. Which is an improvement on sky.
