Who is doing the audio now?
I take it that BBC are still not accessible on the sounds app

I have no issue watching via iFollow still, always get a season pass but will see this year when games start as to what to do with many on Sky. So may get a season pass still but won't decide until about the 3rd game of the season.
Am going to stand back from matchday postings this season, so happy to pass over to others to keep everyone updated.

You are welcome, time to pass it onto a younger, and hopefully better poster. |

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.

iFollow do that too, they just aren't very good at it. I'm sure there will be those that do work |

From FAQs on iFollow: Commentary to accompany games on iFollow is managed by EFL clubs. Maybe it will be as before ... |

If your friend is overseas then they don't need a VPN for ifollow. If they're "overseas" then they don't need a VPN for Sky highlights. |

Not done the calcs but as a Sky-free home and left feeling slightly nauseous by the Premiership hype, I have always baulked at the cost of Sky Sports
I nevertheless likely forked out close to £300 last year on iPlayer - most aways and 10 odd homes.
Anyone know how many live Town games I might get by signing up for a Sky Sports package?
As an aside, your match day commentaries have been great, Venks. Thank you.

Be interesting to see how the firestick apps shape up this season if they use the ifollow abroad stream or switch to sky+ where available.
I know on mine the Sky TV channels seems to be maybe half a minute behind but some Swindon games I was watching last season was as much as 5 or 6 minutes.

The promotional guff from Sky says every team will be shown 20+ times per season. Dont know if that includes the pisspot & league cup games though |
