Norn Iron Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Despite me emailing Bristolcitytvsupport@streamamg.com at 2.40pm requesting Radio Bristol feed (as per our annual contract) we are still having to endure the tv version at 3.17pm after kick off. I got the usual response that they are extremely busy etc.. in desperation I have even emailed downsy! We have to email during the match, yet again.

COACH2 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Problem is it appears to be Robins TV commentary therefore not really suitable for radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted January 15, 2022 Author Share Posted January 15, 2022 Commentating for tv is a different skill to describing the game on audio only. If only bcfc had made a statement as to why we're getting the tv feed. All we've been told by the commentator is that all those listening around the world are on Robins TV today! .

COACH2 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 Finally got a reply from customer support I can let you know that we are currently having some brief technical issues regarding the broadcast of the feed so we are having to use another audio to give the commentary.

REDOXO Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 The audio coverage is an utter joke. I did ask if the forum could pin something so everyone knows where to complain when the balls it up. Which they do almost every week! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When it was managed by PremiumTV we could choose other matches to listen to throughout the week. Their service wasn't great but with bcfc deciding to go it alone, not only do we lose the choice of other matches but we have to suffer a poorer product. If anyone from BCFC is reading this thread, stop treating us as second class customers. Admit you've got it wrong by going it alone and go back to Premium TV (or whatever it's called now).

Think I’ve had little / no buffering all season, and had to re-start app a couple of times due to freezing.

I have always used the built-in VPN in the Opera browser for a couple of years and has been fine up until the last 2 or 3 matches, and we have Virginmedia broadband which is mega quick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toby or whatever the commentator's name is, needs to realise we aren't watching his video feed. He needs to fill in the gaps and tell not show.

Can you change the server location in Opera? Try that. Also it doesn't hurt to get a back up VPN to try if the connection gets bad - I use windscribe. And I had to change the server location in that as the default one was getting overloaded. Good luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I also have a VPN option in my Norton antivirus package so I'll try using that next time and see if it makes a difference. I looked online and there are a few comments re the VPN in Opera having slowed down recently so that might be it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Windscribe, usually Frankfurt Castle, sometimes Canada Old Port, but that seems to have been replaced by some others that I’ve not tried yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted January 17, 2022 Author Share Posted January 17, 2022 Downsy has just very kindly replied to my email I sent him on Saturday just after ko. Here's his reply.... I can’t remember why, but we weren’t providing Radio Bristol on the audio feed for the Fulham game, so you guys got the Robins TV output instead. Hope it didn’t spoil it too much for you.
