    Commentary was quite patchy at times...

    I even got the Hereford commentary on for a while...

    Some of the older vids are good, the more recent ones are crap...

    ita alrght cut out once 2night, think thatwas justmy connection thou

    but for 3.99 a month its ok, dont have to shell though various websites to find radio links which hardly ever work in the end every away game
  • Hereford commentary nice and clear, highlights also good,only moan is the interviews the sound is crap,and look like they been filmed on someone's mobile.

    I couldn't get it going at first, but that was probably me not being able to concentrate at work. But it's good Jimmy, a vast improvement. The interviews do look sound like they are being done in a cave but for me the important things - highlights and commentary I have been impressed with.

    I couldnt get it to work last night on my wifes new Sony Laptop.....I know the software has issues with Vista, but I followed their mods exactly and it didnt work.....works fine on my work laptop with XP....will have to remember to take it home at the weekend.
  • I have Vista and was fine last night. Good commentary from little Bradley Allen but he kept saying "err" a bit too much

    Another good thing is that they do 'live text' so you can read whats happening if you can't have the volume up/have no headphones. It was all good. The team line-up said we had a player called Sleetwood playing though...
  • I can watch the highlights without any probs. Couldn't get any live commentary last night though.

    I have a Sony vaio with Vista - so far the Player works fine.

    Thats what Kay has....bloody thing...as soon as I hit commentary it briefly for one nansecond went to the page and then re-directed to a Sony.....cannot find blah de blah page......went on the helpline and it recommended some mods for Home Vista Premium and I did those.....no change. I'll drop them an email...they are usually pretty good

    Was you using FireFox Tel?

    Sadly it's a lot more stable on that piece of garbage IE.

    Tel, I'm currently in Frankfurt but will be back at weekend - if I get a chance I will have another look at my laptop and see if anything out of ordinary. Let me know if you get an answer - there are definitely some conflicts in getting Sony/Vista to work for some things.

    I have a problem with my sony desktop which for some reason can no longer recognise my iTunes library despite the fact that it is still there.

    I also like being able to see the other games scoring updates and match facts.

    Thanks guys....

    Stu/Stonemuse....I'll give Mozilla another go.....I had it on there, but Kay being the geek that she is, took it off when I gave her the Vaio.....(which I had only recently bought but found it didnt like being part of a XP network....some stuff worked, but some things didnt) I bought a Tosh with the XP downgrade, which seems to handle just about most things I throw at it, albeit I prefer the Vaio to look at/build quality and its "red" naturally :-)

    Working fine now - the live update of other scores is good too.

    I imagine you need a good broadband connection or it will sound like Norman Collier is doing the commentary....

    Have signed up for the first time, so will find out later when I try the commentary.

    Watched a few videos and the quality is ok, but could be a lot better.

    There are even Welling highlights on there, but for some reason the goals weren't included, only Mambo's disallowed one.

    The audio is not very loud and I can't seem to increase the volume.
