I just wish the goals would be available a little sooner. I went out of the room, missed a goal last night and had to wait about 10 minutes for it to appear..

Apart from that slight quibble, it's great.
On the Apple TV you can rewind the stream?

SPOILT! wink

I watched the games on a big Samsung through a Firestick and the picture was VERY dark. Watched the second half on the Mac via the Prime website, beautiful!

See my post above - I had exactly the same and discovered my TV has reset itself to 'Normal' picture mode for the Firestick.

Went into the TV settings, changed it to 'Dynamic' and the picture was spot on.

I hope they win all the games in the next round of bidding and do a subscription for £10 a month.

The ability to start the game from the beginning or just watch the goals I found much better than sky.
They picked up this package as the others didn't want it or could get it, it was drifting for a short while I think? No one can get the lot anymore, it has to be split and a lot goes into working out what packages they can do best out of. What will be interesting is the next bidding if Amazon see this as a success over the next few years, and if other streaming services reckon they make a go of it.

I can do that - just couldn't be bothered.

It’s decent but annoying I can’t rewind using the app on my smart TV using the Sony remote, apparently you can with a fire stick which I don’t own

Picture quality seems better today but still not up with Sky HD.

Found the Dynamic setting so thanks for that - which seems to alter the contrast incredibly. Pic was okay for the games, but needed to change it back later. A few buffering problems but generally okay. Still prefer watching it on this big Mac screen using Safari, much better.

The goal highlights is a good idea ... but the general presentation isn't as slick as Sky's to me. Can't pass comment on BT's as not got it.

It's been OK, nothing more nor less. Better than BT (not hard), way worse than Sky.

But imagine being a Liverpool fan, trying to get back from Leicester on Boxing Day when the game finished at 10pm - that's a fking disgrace, and for that, they can fk right off with any more coverage.

I thought it was supposed to be live- why are they at least 30 secs behind?

It's much more than 30 seconds.

The BT app is also over a minute behind BT on the TV.

I guess they need to create a buffer so we don't end up with lots stuttering and pauses.

The production and quality is miles behind BT and Sky. I've got the every game every goal on tonight and it's very clumsy and disjointed. The app for showing replays doesn't work well either.

Amazon need to up their game.

Yep it’s ste, and despite having fibre BB and at least 50mb it falls over at least once in every game I’ve watched. Picture is nowhere near Sky HD either.

No buffering/picture issues here but it looks very amateurish in production with the gruddy graphics and stuff.
