I thought this was worthy of a thread of its own in case anyone was unaware and wants to watch our game against Fulham on Sky.

I've just spotted ChaileyJem's message hidden in the Fulham thread:

PS: if you have Sky - and are going to watch this game tomorrow night on Amazon Prime - then Sky launched their Prime app yesterday meaning you can now watch the match without faffing about with HDMI cables and laptops or USB sticks.

If you scroll to the Apps section of the SkyQ menu you'll find the Prime icon next the Netflix and BBCiPlayer icons

I watched some of tonight's games via the Sky Q box. I've been very critical of Amazon as a viewing experience previously, in particular the amount of time behind 'live' it was.

Via the app on the Sky Q it was VASTLY improved, and almost totally eliminated this issue.

Still not showing on mine. Not sure if it being an old telly is the issue.

Thanks for this, hadn’t realised. Been a bit crap on the Firestick and Smart TV but on the Q App it looks much better.........

Really good news. Been trying to get my 84 year old mum to use Prime Video during lockdown but she’s struggled with the remotes - can just do it on Sky now

Incredible the difference in time using Prime on the firestick.

3 of us watched on Sunday each using a firestick all in different locations (with a whatsapp video conversation going at the same time). 2 of us were within seconds of each other but the other was over 20 seconds ahead. He had to pause until we caught up so we could 'watch together'

We will find out tonight if this is any better.

Yes, it’s on Virgin media too. We already have a Prime account but when I clicked on to on the Virgin menu it somehow charged me for joining :rant:.
Be careful pressing buttons out there.
