Thought I might have my first punt at streaming tonight, ageing eyesight not up to night driving.
I have seen various comments on poor quality.
Grateful for any comments on their experience of home games ( the worst comments I have seen are about away games, I don’t know if that makes any difference ).
Thank you.

It’s dependant on the quality/ability/spec of the home teams video equipment and the CFC one is excellent.

I streamed the Gateshead game most recently and it was perfect for the whole game.

Agree- it is very good from CFC.

Generally when there is poor coverage it is down to the host club and apart from rare occasions I have not had buffering issues. Ours coverage is decent enough. The play button becomes active about 15 mins to kickoff. May need to be patient as the coverage can start quite close to kickoff and all you get is a National League banner until then, no need to panic

I had a couple of streaming issues with the Gateshead game, as I seem to be the only one perhaps it's my end.

[Bluenosey]

I searched thru all 38 options for the gateshead game on national league TV, all to no avail, gave up the ghost at half time,wife was not impressed😒

[hewittfan]

I’ve only had one bad experience with it, which was the game at Solihull (for which I did eventually get a refund out of the National League, after they initially tried to say that I was the only one that had a problem!)

As others have said, I think it depends on the set up at the host club, and ours seems to be good, although I’ve never streamed a home game as I’ve always been able to attend since National League TV was introduced.

The only problem that I ever have with it (aside from the quality of camera and commentary work from various clubs) is I've ended up with situations where it just buffers and repeats the same 20-30 seconds over and over. This, and my own inattention, led me to miss the first 10 minutes of the gateshead game because ever time I checked if it had started I just saw the groundsman with his fork poking around in the centre circle. It only occurred to after a while that the match hadn't been delayed, and I was watching the same bit of pitch-prodding over and over again. A quick refresh later and I was tuning in just in time to miss the first goal

Thanks all, have invested my £9.50.

My mum and dad once watched the title menu of the phoenix nights DVD for a solid 10 mins before realising they had to press Play to get any further..

I don't claim that I would never do this, but on this occasion I'll blame being distracted as I was at work and didn't have the sound turned on. I think I'd have twigged after hearing "Welcome to the Phoenix Club" for the 5th or 6th time

Agree totally. So far the coverage for home games has been great. Even when we’re not playing I’ve found that other NL coverage has been generally good. Slowly getting their act together except for Solihull away which was appalling to say th3 least

Thanks for mentioning the problems with the stream from the Solihull game on Boxing Day - this is the only game this season where I have had a problem. The stream from the home games has been excellent and includes replays of the goals. I had logged a complaint about the Solihull game and had received a polite 'holding reply'. Having read your post I pointed out that some refunds had been paid on this game and today they processed my refund in full.

Who is ultimately responsible for the streaming quality the NL or the hoste club?

[essexspireman]

for anybody who paid for last night's stream, don't forget you can also watch Borehamwood v Eastleigh tonight on the same pass
