What a piece of of cr@p that is. Cost £10.99 for a one week Sports pass to watch Andy Murray in the Cincinatti final and Newcastle v Brighton yesterday. You can't watch it on Chrome, so you can't cast it. Watched it via a laptop with HDMI cable to the tv. Worse quality than one of those foreign streams that are sometimes available. Stopping and starting, buffering, sound totally out of sync with picture. Waste of money. As The Who wisely sang, ' I won't get fooled again'.

Works fine for me on a 19Mbps speed wi-fi connection . No buffering and although the TV picture quality is def not HD still perfectly acceptable .
Sound great via the TV optical out into an ancient CA audio DAC .

I've had it a few times through my PS4, no buffering and crystal clear picture.

What speed is your internet connection? You need 3 or 4 mbps minimum for decent performance without buffering.

How annoying. Haven't had a problem with it on TV via PS3 though.

I have used it for a few years now and have always found it good - I use it on my TV and laptop. Quite often manage to get free and discounted passes too.

I've always found the app very very good. I use it occasionally with Chromecast. You can also successfully cast the screen if for some reason you don't want to use the app. And as others have said, the quality is excellent.

Sounds that changed your life - this has to be the top for me. Remember getting dial up around 95/96 then broadband was around 00/01. Kids these days will not ever recall a song taking an hour to download on Napster v1 and such low quality as well

Haha. Why? PS3 still? I could probably keep it another 10 years for the number of games I haven't played but would like to which are still SO much better than the old ZX Spectrum could ever manage...
