    I’ve posted what it is but for some reason you’ve chosen to ignore it.

    An app for smart tv's would be very useful. If you're not a Mac user, then you can always do what I do, and Chromecast the game to your tv. Works fine for me - no lagging or sound issues. Saves messing about with wires, and also means you can use the livematch chat on this site while the game is going on (or browse the news or anything due to the game being boring).

    Dammit. That's annoying. But UK viewers can watch it?

    I use my old mans sky sports app for premiership games, when done via HDMI cable it buffers quite a bit and the screen slows badly. Just hoping it’s not the same on IFollow so we can watch the game together rather than huddled round a laptop! Chrome cast might well be the way forward if HDMI isn’t great.

    Well really, HDMI should be the optimum method. Chromecast depends on how your wifi is. There's setting on ifollow allowing you to choose the quality if "auto" isn't working. Fortunately my wifi here is great, so I am able to watch it on the HD setting without any problems. Hope it works well for you!

    I had a micro PC delivered yesterday, which I will be using as a dedicated streaming box permanently connected to my main TV. Just waiting on a few peripherals, which should arrive today.

    First streaming service that I will be prioritising is, of course, iFollow; I'll just create a website link 'app' to sit on the desktop, for quick access.

    Hopefully, I will have it set up in time for Saturday; if not, it will be the old HDMI cable between my main PC and TV.

    I don't think so. It might depend on your country and whether any broadcasters there have paid for the right to show games. Last year I couldn't watch a game because a Polish subscription channel were supposedly showing it. Turned out they weren't but it was still blocked on iFollow.

    Yes. You'll be able to find it somewhere, if you know where to look but I'm pretty sure it will be audio only this Saturday.

    My mate has the same which he uses for sky sports app. I quite fancy the same but don’t quite have the spare cash at the minute for the pc, wireless mouse and keyboard, was made redundant due to covid so just about managed to renew the season ticket!

    Saturday's referee is Martin Coy, who was also the referee for our last competitive (and I use the term 'competitive' loosely) fixture at Salford on Saturday 7 March 2020, 26 weeks ago.

    This. I think on paper, their squad is weaker than ours.

    Actually, these days I don't. Got fed up with all the crap that goes with many if the streaming sites. However, if you have a VPN set to UK, I don't know if it will still block the video.

    So yeah, no game for those of us out of the UK. There's a few streams about, and my IPTV service has twenty "ifollow" channels, but I never know what games are on them until they have kicked off.
    On the subject of iFollow. I log in, but it still says "sign in/register" in the top right hand corner. Previously it used to say "Hello James" or something like that. When I click on it, it shows my details and my subscriptions. I just don't want to be in the panic situation like I am every Saturday five mins before kick off, where I can't log in. Anyone else got that?

    Yes, I'm getting the same, even after I've logged in, it still says "sign in/register".

    I had a similar problem a few weeks ago and went through a right palaver with various people at ifollow HQ. Turns out I had rejected cookies and ads so I couldn't use the service properly. I had to set ifollow up as an exception to the blocks I usually have and now it works ok. Check your settings.
