New digital platform - ForestTV!

Amazon do various live sports in substantially higher definition and quality than the iFollow pictures I've been watching lately but I take your point

This could become a futile argument when I'm not challenging the premise that the quality of the video is poor.

However, the Amazon Prime max resolution is HD. Same as Forest is supposed to be.


Forest's FAQ said:
What are the internet connection requirements?
You will require a WIFI or broadband internet connection (DSL/cable or higher) with a minimum download
speed of at least 1.2mbps with latency not exceeding 100ms for SD and 4mbps with latency not exceeding
50ms for HD (mobile data may not be supported)
. For users travelling abroad, please use a Wi-Fi network
or broadband connection to purchase and view the pass, to avoid extra charges and maintain full
compatibility (this allows the country you are in to be recognised as a selected territory).

Questions & Answers
1) I’m experiencing streaming issues, what can I do?
First, check your device bandwidth speeds. For the best live streaming experience, Prime Video recommends a minimum download speed of 1 Mbps for SD & 5 Mbps for HD. Prime Video will serve the highest quality streaming experience possible based on the bandwidth speed available. If you’re experiencing any issues with video juddering/motion, we recommend turning the Motion setting on your TV to Off. This setting might have a different name depending on your TV manufacturer. Some examples of the Motion setting include Auto Motion Plus, Tru Motion, MotionFlow, Cinemotion, and Motion Picture. If you still experience issues, please contact us.

Whether you're getting that is a different matter.

It's poor value. And as I've mentioned elsewhere on this thread, it's still iFollow content but the the stream is just relayed by a different provider.

I didn't watch it yesterday so don't know what was happening. But none of it surprises me.

Amazon do a healthy slice of 4k videos to stream...
 

football post

I'm still here Crewton
I've just spent the last couple of hours watching Notts in the cricket. Clicked on the website, "mirrored" it to the TV and watched a perfect stream. No buffering, no time delays and all so simple.
I sometimes wonder if they make watching football difficult on purpose.

I was about to post the same thing. Multiple cameras, BBC commentary, no ads, live in HD on youtube - all for nowt.

Christ the new streaming service is terrible.
I've watched both live streams and the quality is rubbish: 180 minutes and they still haven't shown a forest goal.

I think Forest TV has replaced IPlayer? I usually get the full season video and audio pass but cannot see it being offered yet on the Forest site, perhaps it will be closer to the season start? Apologies if this already has a thread, didn't show up in search.

Replaced iPlayer? Blimey, a mandatory licence fee for Forest content will get them moaning.

There is already a lengthy thread on this, here it is.

Yep, got it thanks, but they are last season comments. I need info on how to get new subscription for upcoming season on Forest site, probably too early and it will be offered later.

I feel rich just at the moment so registered for Forest TV. Thought I'd have to pay, but they said it was free with add-ons coming later, but didn't say exactly how much or what I'd have to pay for or what it would be called.

So I'm not much wiser.

It has not been announced yet. If you were a previous subscriber, they will contact you before the new season starts.

It'd be nice for them to keep the video passes on sale for anyone really, or even some form of season pass.

It's not worth paying for (unless you are overseas or cant get Radio Nott'm). Compared to what other FL clubs offer and the size of our 'online fanbase', our digital offering is pitiful.

We are ten days away from the start of the season, and as of today there is NO information on the Forest website regards pricing for Forest TV for overseas subscribers.

The Artiste formally known as "Wanksy"
In his recent interview Murphy said he used to put out semi-regular communication to the fans at Barnsley (think he said around once per month, but don't quote me on that). So I'm hoping stuff like this gets sorted once all the priority stuff has.

Being frank, communication from the club has drifted towards Marthur era realms of shite over the past few years. So hopefully that'll improve over the coming year now.

"can't be as bad as Ifollow" my heart says hopefully.

Then my brain kicks in and reminds me that this is Forest and that every digital platform they have released was compiled by a crackhead on a speak and spell.

Yeah, nothing here either, no communication or anything which is frankly piss poor. Again.

I despair of this club sometimes, I really do.

The fact it hasn't been used for pre-season is poor. It would help them find and fix any issues before the real season starts aswell. Oh well...
