Watched via the LG TV Amazon app. Decent picture.

As someone else said, the BBC goal notifications on my phone come in 30 seconds before the Amazon picture. So mute the phone next time. Or leave it somewhere else.

Watched on Sony A1X 4K tv using app, WiFi connection sky Q broadband.
Flicked through a couple of games on Tuesday and Wednesday. Whole game last night.
No probs and UHD picture was good.

Watched as much of it as was possible, worked absolutely fine, both the uhd games and the full hd ones. Used both IPad and LG TV App

Watched on a 7 year old Sony HD tv connected by Amazon fire stick connected to router via hdmi cable.. No buffering, picture quality good . Amazon must be getting it together as when they first started showing tennis last year it was awful, buffering, drop out, sound quality low.

Interesting my notifications were coming in a few seconds after :shrug:

Got a Panasonic smart TV. Picture was excellent, quality really good and crisp.

My daughter lives in Shoreham too and she was 35 seconds in front of me in the game. Very odd as we have similar set up. Virgin, smart TV and both of us in Shoreham, 5 miles apart. :shrug:

Had to tell her not to text me after the first goal as I'd not seen it.

Out of interest was that using a smart app on the TV, or casting from another device?





I watched on Lg tv with built in amazon app , tv 5 years old but 100% brilliant. My internet speed is 78 mbs and hardwired.

By the way I didn't watch on laptop, I watched on the SmartTV offering.

No problem for me watching the game on my TV today. No buffering good picture, reasonable refresh rate, but quite a long delay.

The last 2 games today are the ones being shown in 4K, so I am going to check those to see if they have fixed things for me.

Only problem today was spoilers - read about our goal on NSC before it was streamed on TV.

I was 45 secs to a minute behind of the play on the app through the TV (good quality picture though). They need to improve that otherwise it's an extended highlights show!

Amazon Prime coverage tends to go a bit wobbly just on HT and just on FT in my experience. Happens too often for it to be a complete coincidence IMHO

Mine was 17 seconds behind the DAB radio feed. But I'm fine with that, Sky/BT are always several seconds behind the radio feed, too.

The arsenal game was flawless for me. Today, though, I got the spinning circle of doom twice. Backing out and going back in fixed it, but it shouldn't be needed.
