New digital platform - ForestTV!

I know I keep getting offers for £20 a month for cancelling, but thought this was decent and saves the hassle

Yes, or being charged twice that or thereabouts if you forget. Sometimes you have to actually cancel and sign up again as well.

If anyone is interested I signed up today for an annual sports pass on Now TV for £200. Works out under £17 per month, decent saving as it's usually £33.

Best i can find is £20 a month for 10 months. Do you have a link or was it emailed to you?

I'm confused about the audio subscription. On the website it says it's £5.99 per month or £44.99 for a season pass. When I go to subscribe it only gives me the option of a monthly pass at £4.50. Puzzling!

I have to say the support team has been impressive. They got back to me very quickly and I now have the season pass as I wanted.

I'm not going to subscribe to Forest TV.
I shall be taking my seat for every home game following renewal of my season ticket, and I shall purchase tickets for our cup matches.
When we are "away" and on SKY I will pay the £10 Now TV 24 hour subscription.
If it is the same as last season it means we can watch here at home, and my Dad gets a free hit down in Brampton.
When we are away and not on TV, I'll make do with listening to Radio Nottingham, which comes over loud and clear here in the Vale.
OK - I'll miss out on the video interviews with players and manager post-match, but those tend to be quite anodyne anyway "we played well against a good opposition and were happy to secure all 3 points/get the draw/unlucky to lose". (delete as applicable).
The highlights of games will be shown free to air on Quest, and will probably appear on YouTube as well.
Forest TV... needs to demonstrate it is value adding.
They should have made it free for the first half of the season, and then subscription for the second half.
By not subscribing I save £45 per year, that's 4 away games on Now TV with a fiver left over for a couple of pints.

Unsurprisingly, no response at all to my Tweet to them asking to justify the price rise (a hefty 15% increase).

Well.

I’ve logged on and selected the audio for today (didn’t go for the video option because they’ve whacked the price up by 15% and it’s shit).

So, I stuck it on half an hour before kickoff. And so far, I had two minutes of Colin Fray, and then seven - and counting - adverts.

If anyone from Forest is even remotely bothered reading this, this service is absolutely f***ing shit. I have to pay for this, f*** off if I want to be bombarded by adverts.

You promised „Forest TV“ would be better than IFollow. Well, so far, it’s just as rubbish.

I am disappointed. Massively.

I agree! I listen to the pre-match on Radio Nottingham (via the internet) because it's just a nonsense of noise on the audio. Interviews are constantly just interrupted by the adverts.

Half of the stuff people moan about is completely out of Forest's control.

But that’s the point though - Forest sold this „Forest TV“ platform on the basis that it was their own, not beholden to the EFL IFollow service and they could improve it.

All I’ve got so far is the same rubbish as IFollow; same shit adverts (and after 15 minutes of coverage we have six more f***ing adverts from the same shit „partners“, SkyBet, Papa Johns et al). I don’t give a f*** about that, they are making us pay a Premium price for this, and it’s shit.

I can guarantee they will fade out the half-time and full-time analysis for more adverts.

If it was free, then cool, you have to deal with adverts. Just like YouTube. But no, you’re paying money for this and still being bombarded with adverts.

Would you accept - for example - subscribing to Netflix for £8 a month or whatever it is, and have your movie interrupted every 15 minutes for five minutes of adverts?

No, me neither.

9 minutes before the match I don't even have the option to click on audio or video even though I bought the expensive international season pass. Can't see anywhere to contact support to get assistance either!

Finally got in 7 minutes before kickoff and it is buffering like mad, same as the last match.

As much as I hated iFollow the video barely ever buffered on me.

Forest don't set the prices, the EFL does

Forest don't choose the adverts, the EFL does

What is to stop Forest just streaming the Radio Nottingham commentary without all the shit adverts on top though?

Was that not the point of „Forest TV“?

They may as well have just stayed with IFollow (15% cheaper!) if that were the case?

I just don’t get it. We were promised a better service.

What we’ve got, is the same old shit. At a higher cost.

I've been kicked off the video feed 3 times in the first half saying "content blocked, not allowed to watch this video" when I'm fully paid up for the season.

And audio has just died for me, right before the second half.

f*** you Forest. I hate you.

It’s an absolute joke, I’m cancelling, I’m not paying to listen to adverts and then not get any post match analysis.. It’s actually a worse service for more money..
