Is it possible to watch matches on a smart TV rather than a PC or some other device? If it is then I might indulge myself on Saturday.

Anybody know the answer to londonblue’s question?

My TV has a web browser, so I signed into iFollow, but I couldn't get any videos to play :Sad:

I could be wrong but I don't think iFollow is available on most SmartTV app stores. The best way to watch it on your TV is by plugging an HDMI into your laptop, I've done that a few times and it is absolutely fine.

I've got a smart tv with a web browser but for some reason I couldn't sign in to ifollow so I connect my laptop to the tv using an hdmi lead and that seems to work. However as I'm new to ifollow I'm waiting to see how well it works for tomorrow's match.

That's exactly my problem, and my potential solution! I was hoping I had done something wrong but for once it seems not! I'm just not keen on moving my PC...that said, I'm not sure I'm keen on spending £10 to see us lose.

Just use a VPN like we do if it is only available abroad.....works both ways

Often when I've used a VPN (eg to access the BBC's i player) it's cute enough to know my real location -even though I've set it to the UK.

Depends on the VPN, some are cuter than others, and some providers are cuter than others at picking up the use of a VPN.

I've purchased a Season Pass for iFollow. Will that allow me to watch Saturday's game or does the Pass only cover league games?

Thanks.

Currently out in Greece and was going to watch thr Gills game on iFollow but reading up is says you can only watch in the UK. Has anyone overseas purchased to watch overseas?

The League Cup is only available in the UK (and maybe Ireland) because of rights issues.

Yogi (and other overseas fans) looks like we'll be able to listen in via BBC Essex after all. :Clap:

I use a HDMI cable from my PC and it works fine for me. Sadly today due to being overseas I'm exempt to viewing it today.

You might still have problems if the laptop is too far from the router, that is my problem.

I use a free VPN for UK tv including BBC. and C4 catchup. IPlayer can be a bit funny sometimes, if I forget to activate it before logging in and will not work till I flush and re-boot.
