I could be wrong but I believe there was a choice. You could watch one or the other game and then you could watch the Sydney game with updates.

We watched the game through a Telstra TV box and had no issues at all, which was a relief, as I only tried setting it up 30 mins before kickoff.

yeah we got a Telstra tv (or two) , had them for the last couple of seasons, not one single issue

well the big blue circle that wouldn't go away during the game . and the sack of shite that can only hold 12 or so apps . it's very underwhelming

Ah ok, i only ever cast to it from my phone, never used any apps off the chromecast itself.

Slightly off topic....the Oasis doco about their 96 knebworth gig is on paramount+ wifey was there so enjoyed watching it. I think it's exclusive to P+ so she was happy i had it.

I have the firestick and there's talk on forums of freeing up space on them.
At the moment I have no idea how to do that, or what takes up space except apps.
I presume it's the buffering???
But if I start using it more, I'm sure I'll find out.

I was knackered after a long day of work.
I sat at my PC to check some emails after dinner. Couldn't be bothered to shift to the lounge
so had the two games on two monitors. While following the Reddit game threads on my laptop.
But yes, I get what you're on about

Streaming disaster - PARAMOUNT+ apologises after technical issues plague first two days of A-League coverage

It comes after the streamer promised subscribers they would be 'the new home of Australian football'.

I can't say I had a major drama with it.
I had SFC v WSW on one monitor, which was fine.
The WU v Vic game took a while to kick in, but once it was going there were no problems.
Went to bed and switched to an android tablet for the first half of the Perth game.
There didn't seem to be any pre game show. The paramount logo cut out and the stream
started when the players were in the tunnel waiting to come out.
Couldn't stay awake for the second half. zzzzzzzzz

As I previously mentioned I did have the blue circle on the Friday game.
Hit the home button & back to the game and it went away.

It did that for about a minute after ads and before the halftime show

Ah thanks good to know.

Watched the Derby on Ch10 so no issues. There was some audio problems in the Perth game and I haven’t had too many other issues. Give them time, remember Optus when they first started out and in particular the World Cup. I’ll be patient and they are owning the errors and trying to fix them.

Game highlights are on youtube for those not connected as yet...

yeah i've gone in and deleted apps from the chromecast .you also need to clear the cache or cookies .
that frees up memory .

Yes - but if you had 3 choices. Did the Sydney only choice give you the score. i.e. to use the Optus lingo, were you watching the match stream or the 'Goal Rush' stream.


I would have thought that was why they has 3 streams for 2 simultaneous games.

I watched the mini matches this morning, pretty good.

Ability to rewind and fast forward? Indicators for goals, shots, cards?

 

[Corsair]

Oh dear this stream is shit, keeps hanging

Mine's been fine

Mine's been fine

I've got my older chromecast hooked up to my projector, that was buffering and even stopped streaming a couple times. I went back to my tv which has a more recent chromecast and its been fine. Now i have an excuse to buy the newest one

Probably one of the best Derbies for a few seasons. (Hutch would be proud)
So exciting,crunching tackles,great goals, our young players standing up and demanding to take their place in the team.
Newcastle had some good moments too but luck was with us today and it was about time to.
Ams had his usual WTF moments but that`s the norm with him.
It was good to see players like Rowles ,Ollie, Marko and Ruon really getting stuck in and standing up to the Jets,neither one of them took a backward step and how good was Farrell.
We missed Stens but Balard did an admirable job and will only get better.
Congratulations to Monty and Serge, a well deserved reward first up and also to Shaun for getting the game in Mudgee last week, a masterstroke in our preparation for this game...
