    I have emailed them several times about radio commentary coverage and they haven't replied to any.

    If you go on the BCAFC website, log in and hit the menu at the top right hand corner, you’ll see “Bantams TV”
    Hit “subscriptions”.
    You’ll have a choice of “Match Pass” or “Subscriptions”. It says “coming soon”
    This is how you’ll be able to watch live matches when City get their act together.

    I'd expect that is purely for legal and contractual obligations with the EFL and Sky as they are the ones who lose out if people use a VPN to watch the match through the club rather than Sky Sports. They will all know it is impossible to police so unless you are broadcasting it to the world that you are using a VPN on social media I do.

    It looks like the BantamsTV section is being updated as the audio passes are now available to buy but nothing in match passes yet. There is a section on the FAQ which suggests the MK match might not be available on BantamsTV at all or only in some locations as it has been picked for international broadcast. It also confirms that all Carabao Cup games will be unavailable anywhere.

    SkySports+ is officially being launched on Thursday so it could be that all streaming information will be announced at once.

    There was never a TV detector van, it was a bluff, they have a list of addresses with out licence, they have no power to enter your home,don't answer the door or tell them to jog on.

    They do have detector vans, there might not have been as many real ones as you used to see driving around as they most likely used them as a deteriant as much as anything but a turned on TV that is receiving a signal gives off various 'signals' that can be detected, you can buy equipment off Amazon which can detect it and what its receiving also impacts the signal. It has got harder as since the move from CRT's screens and with some of the changes in broadcasting the signals given off are weaker making it harder ti detect and making knowing what content you are watching almost impossible. And obviously back when detector vans were first a thing if you were using a TV your only option of OTA TV but now we not only have Satellite or Cable to watch Live TV but we also have DVD/VHS players, Games Consoles, streaming boxes etc so with it being nigh on impossible now to know what your watching the TV just being on and receiving a signal is much less of smoking gun as many of the uses don't require a TVL. It certainly wouldn't stand up in court which is why it's never used to get a conviction, it's used more as an internal tool to help decide if further investigation is needed.

    As for VPN's they are easy to block. When you access a server your IP is recorded and IP's can have a reverse lookup done. For example I can tell you for a fact that @king karl@king karl is using a VPN as his IP traces back to Hydra Communications Ltd whose main business is providing nodes to almost all the VPN companies. There is absolutely no legit reason other than a VPN why someone will be accessing the site from a node in Hydra Communications data centres. I can have the servers firewall block that IP and he wouldn't be able to even load a page and there are services that you can use that collect VPN/Proxy services IP ranges and will automatically keep the blocked IP list upto date blocking all VPN and Proxies. Or I could use the same services so that when these IP are detected rather than block you from the server it would just disable your forum account. So it's really easy to do. And while VPN's can bring in new IP's its a short term fix and as we have run out of IPv4 addresses at this point then its limited on how much they can do that as it means buying IP's that are already assigned to others and they go for a pretty penny

    Is anyone planning to use the NOW tv app for the games? Wonder if it's worth paying for
