Can I reiterate that previous point.

I imposed a 'previous regime' style media blackout on my self (rather than Radio Humberside) only to have the score thrown up at the bottom of the stream.

I feel a polite email to the club once I get off work is in order.

Also the lack of commentary is bizarre. Can somebody put a farthing in DDD if his meter's ran out of juice.

The sound quality of the commentary during the game bordered on appalling - at one point I switched to the RH feed instead. Assuming that wasn't down to the feed they might have felt that it was better to just omit the commentary from the video and improve things for next time around.

It's a work in progress and clearly has room for improvement, but I did enjoy the build-up and listening to DDD's commentary in the last 20 minutes of the match was certainly involving. Overall a thumbs up from me provided they work on the issues from the first attempt - which I'm sure they will.

Agree Kosh. There are clearly some improvements to be made but at £50, IMO it's very very good value.

I didn't see the live matchday due to being there but what I have seen is very good and the 18th Man programme was also a good read. Although, the match re-run could certainly improve in quality and some commentary wouldn't go amiss.

Looking forward to Seymour and Heremiah(sp) tonight as well.

I just ordered it in a fit of excitement so I can see the Cats game on Tuesday.

What old games are available in full ?

Anyone know why there are no delayed highlights of Cats home games on Sky this year?

Sky used to use the French tv coverage and just put their commentary on. The French broadcaster was Orange tv and they aren't showing Catalan ths year.

I have just read on the VT that Al Jaazera have agreed a tv deal for this season not sure wether our game will be covered, if it is there might be a chance that sky will show extended highlights

Went in this dinner time to set up via direct debit and I have already received my login details and I think the quality is good and I am pretty impressed so far, and no doubt there will be further improvements. Good work by everyone involved.

This was the reply I had of Matt Adams when asking about future improvements to FC live, it all looks good going forward,

Many thanks for the email, the technical problems with the commentary at the game stopped us being able to put this on the warrignton game but come broncos we will be up and running to full standard, and the full game video will include commentary, the score counter and replays of tries and key moments.



The issue with quality is down to making it playable on iphones and ipads which means we’ve had to play with its format. We are however working on this and the quality will improve significantly in the next couple of weeks, thank you for having patience with us and keep an eye out for the return of Airlie Night this evening starting at 7pm the guests will be Seymour and Heremaia.



I hope this helps,



Kind regards,



Matt Adams
