Highlights

Post by Sideshow Rob »

It's 8 o'clock on Monday evening and still there are no highlights from the Halifax game on Yellow World. Are Premium TV covering the Conference? If not, I don't think I'll be renewing my subscription.

Er, isn't that about four times more expensive?

And while I'm slagging off Premium TV what were they thinking about when they put that awful new advert page for their text service in front of the official site's home page? I can't be the only who has to click on the damn thing five or six time in order to get through. It must be nearly impossible using dial-up and some slower broadband connections. I'm sure many casual supporters will just give up.

One silver lining of our fall from grace is that Premium TV no longer have the exclusive web broadcast rights to our games.

Which means that exiles such as myself can just get the Radio Oxford commentary over the web without having to subscribe to yellow world.

Just thought I'd share that nugget, in case other exiles hadn't realised yet...

Can you? When I tried tuning into a game via the RadOx site I got the message about the broadcast not being available because of contractual issues.

That explains why I couldn't get the live broadcast over Yellow World whilst I was away last week. Surely a partial refund of subscription is justified for this significant restriction of service!!

Well I got the Burton game from start to finish. Having said that, I got a few games towards the end of last season too, when the BBC (or whoever) forgot to turn the feed off.

I don't think there are any such contractual issues in the Conference - the club site certainly no longer says that Yellow World is &quotthe only place to hear the game on the web&quot, as it used to do in every match preview.

Maybe.

Anyway, try this instead as it's cheaper

Maybe - but the guy who posted it runs the risk of breach of copyrihght.

Yeah, right. And the person that is taking up valuable police resources in chasing this matter is?

What a sad bastard you are sometimes.

Great news for whom - given that it took me about 10 seconds to think about and post that last one?

Bugger. I've got that message now too. Anyone know what the story is with this?
