IFollow

[Bob's Orange]

The promotional guff from Sky says every team will be shown 20+ times per season.

Don’t know if that includes the pisspot & league cup games though

Basically every midweek game and games during the international window will be on sky sports, along with the league cup and pisspot games.

Sky offered me a months trial followed by £20 a month which I've literally planned to only use for Swindon games. (although I watched Hearts v Rangers on Saturday) My IPTV provider got caught so I haven't got that luxury this season. I've tended to find other things to do on a Saturday so will make an effort for the sky games and either go to the games or do something else for the non sky games.

For international viewers only, domestic iFollow is going away due to the Sky deal.

Thanks, I've now signed up for the season

Previously a friend of mine living overseas found that he was unable to access Sky match highlights even when using a VPN. He watched iFollow matches using the same VPN without any problems . It appears that Sky can identify the use of a VPN and restrict access where relevant. My friend intends to wait and see if other (overseas) viewers can watch matches on iFollow when using a VPN.
As an aside, the price quoted by iFollow last month was €166 but now appears as €210.

I've signed up for the season with IFollow. For those with VPN issues, there should be the option of pausing or disconnecting the VPN during the games.

It's possible the VPN location they were using was shared by multiple others, hence making it easier to flag by companies like Sky.

Was happy with my IPTV service last season and have just renewed at £60 for 12 months. I subscribe to a separate VPN provider and had no issues last season.

Where on Sky are these games being shown as I dont see anything for our game on the Sky planner for Friday, just that they are showing Blackburn v Derby and Preston v Sheff Utd.

I think they are part of this new Sky Sports + thing via a red button?

[tans]

Yeah its red button on sky sports + channel

You need sky q, sky stream or sky glass to watch it though

Normal sky+ hd boxes are not compatible

[Peter Venkman]

I have Sky Q but dont have sports so never knew about the red button thing, will watch the first few on Octo probably.

[Berniman]

It's free if you have a full Sky Sports subscription - apparently the option for the channel will drop in ahead of the new season

[tans]

Yeah you need to be subscribed to sky sports to watch it anyway

A bit surprising that this still hasn't happened as far as I can see. You would have thought it would be up and running so that they can be advertising it...

Edit: Apparently it starts on Thursday on Channel 412 Sky Q or 410 Sky Glass...

. Channel starts on August 8th, so you won’t be able to get it before then anyway.

Is that a league two specific channel or just a sky+ channel?

I'm in London on the 24th and we're early kick off but there is two championship games and another league two game on at the same time. Hoping its not too much ball ache to get a sports bar to put it on.

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

I imagine that's the general Sky+ channel which will be showing whatever they decide is the main game, with a menu to select from all the other games...
