Is SeagullsTV worth paying for?

[phoenix]

Never had a problem streaming u23 games on a cheap pc on Seagulls.com last season. Why would it be anything different now? Sounds more like the problems lay at the feet of this new provider.

Yes, in as much as the quality is a lot better. And the provider seems to assume that everyone has a brand new shinny pc or whatever device they use. Cheap pc doesn't have to mean crappy though does it ?

If you are outside of Gods Own County, yes...

I have a gaming PC myself, so it'll be fine - thanks for your input

I don't think I can get Radio Sussex in Humberside..

All I can say GR is that mine works fine and I am very grateful for the far superior quality. Or I could just be lucky. But i'm just trying to pass on what i have found. Good luck mate!

Are you serious?

Yes, they're not allowed to in the UK

Anyone had success listening to BBC Sussex on tunein website or app?

Sorry, I've probably missed this but will Radio Sussex continue to do commentary then?

When you decide to contact them they will tell you to do a load of things to solve the problems-not once taking responsibility. "Uninstall Albion App then ee-install it. Switch off your device then re-start it. Blah blah blah". Crap outfit to deal with. Why do they think my 3 devices are the problem and not at their end?

The feed will switch to non league. The BBC radio contract only applies to local broadcasts over air and not the net.

Been wondering the exact same thing. Hoping so...

Is that from experience of using tunein? Or from using ipllayer?

The problem is their end, because the content should stream no matter what browser, phone or operating system you use. I have watched quite a few live friendly streams over YouTube over the seasons without any issues whatsoever and that was on a 10 year old laptop running Chromium on Linux. You should not have to clear your cache, restart your phone, machine to get this to work. I think the player is probably being too fussy or has the stupid DRM thing, it's a fing cock up. Feels like we have gone back 10 years, next they be telling everyone to install Microsoft Silverlight.

Yes, those apps never carry the league games as they broadcast internationally and not just the area that Radio Sussex have the contract for. If you are in a near county but unable to receive Radio Sussex or have Aldershot on or something, then a freeview tv can be set to play Radio Sussex. I imagine that only works if you are in the same region though.

Any.

BBC don't have the rights beyond local radio (inc DAB) broadcast from a local transmitter.

All these non iplayer apps do is connect to public streams broadcast over the internet by the BBC.

I've mentioned it before.......
I use a slingbox which sends a signal over the internet to one person anywhere in the world. By connecting to both a Sky box and freeview stand alone box you can listen and watch everything anywhere. It also controls the box to enable you to change channels. Works great for my Daughter who listens to BBC Sussex in Wales.
