New digital platform - ForestTV!

That’s interesting, DAZN has been pretty reliable for me here in Germany?
It has been for me until the past few weeks where occasionally it just doesn't work. It's extra annoying as the price has doubled since they got the Serie A rights.

Mine went up by €2 a month, but they now have twice as many Bundesliga matches so it is still fantastic value, compared to what you’re getting.

U23 playing today at home with free admission at the ground. But, is it being shown on ForestTV that we pay for? Of course not.

I'd really like to see U23, U18 and Ladies games as well, many other clubs show them.

Thank you.

However, I really don't get that. Why put it on a secondary service when they have ForestTV?

Also, in the news section of the official website there is a post about going to support the U23 at the ground and admission is free, why wouldn't they mention it being on youtube as well?

That’s what really pissed me off, they told the world 5 minutes before kickoff that they were steaming it. Wankers.

Any idea how to watch it today?

I can't find a way???

You can't watch 3pm Saturday kickoffs, it's the rules (was only lifted for the pandemic).

Typical, no video feed today yet!! Maybe no video feed available at QPR? With the old IFollow they listed the games that were available to either watch and or listen to.

Duh! Game is on ESPN+ live here so not on Forest TV, got it now.

It’s on Sky in the UK so presumably they can’t show it because it’s on an American channel over there? Check your tv guide

That is right, there used to be a blackout list. It sure would be a nice courtesy to let customers know which games they've already paid for but can't watch.

Apparently today's game is not available to watch in Italy.

A monthly subscription is becoming increasingly pointless and really expensive.

Thanks Forest.

Nor Greece. f***ing raging
Apparently "The team are extremely busy at the moment with other requests."

I'm hoping it's a technical cock up. Otherwise I was sold a service i couldn't access which is a bit shitty.

I binned the video subscription off for this season and just went with audio as it’s a disgraceful ripoff and not worth anywhere near what they want for it.

The blacked out games are on DAZN here anyway.

Ran straight to dazn.it (cheaper then forest TV) when I got the geoblock notice. But no joy.

Think I'm going to go the same way and save a fortune.

What countries?.... Angola
I've looked on the Angolan Reds Twitter..

Nope. Not there.

It's broadcast on ESPN/BEIN so I think it's not on anywhere globally.. unless, of course, you have access to one of the channels showing it

I live in Canada so signed up for the season online pass, which at that point entitled me to all of the games as Canada was considered an A list country.

When I went to watch today's game, I couldn't access the stream. It appears the status has been changed and Canada is now considered a B list country. This wasn't communicated to me in any way.

So, as I really wanted to see us today, I signed up for DAZN. It's free for a month, but $150 for the year. That's 100 quid.

I really feel like I'm paying twice, and what I really resent is not being informed. When I looked at the club website, it simply says country status can change at any time, which covers them, I guess, but I think it's unfair to ask someone to pay for a service and then change the nature of the service after the purchase is complete.

I'm telling myself I'll write to the club about this, but not sure I will or what good it will do. Maybe next season I pay for the club service but not DAZN out of principle. It's hard to say as I don't even know what the game split will be, yet.

Anyway, hope this helps someone in some way shape or form. And if anyone else has any ideas or insight on this issue it would be great if they could share them.

That is one of the reasons I got rid of the video streaming.

I have DAZN anyway so there’s Championship Games on that platform (in better quality too) and what really boiled my piss is for all the hype about the „brand new“ service, it is exactly the same as iFollow before it, poor streaming quality (compared to other offerings) and beset with 5-6 minutes advert breaks that disrupt the build-up, half-time and full.time discussions, for products that are irrelevant and unobtainable to me (Sky Bet, Papa Johns - which is crap anyway - and Lifebuoy aren’t even available here).

To add insult to injury, they put the price up by 15% to €200 a year (which is more than DAZN, with which I get dozens of sports, and nearly as expensive as Sky Sport DE).

I did actually take the time to write to the club about this, unsurprisingly, I did not even get the courtesy of an acknowledgment or reply.

It’s not that I can’t afford it (fortunately I can, easily) but I don’t see it as good value.

With the old service there used to be a pop-up customer service chat, and a list of blacked out matches on the website. So yes, same old video/audio feed, more advertising drowning out pre/post match, less features and service, more expensive. To top it all off they broadcast U23 matches on their youtube channel and not on the paid service, not even a mention of them on the paid service.
