Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post Trying to watch the build up to the United match now, almost impossible. This could have been a brilliant feature but I can't even get to watch it without it stopping even in "Medium Quality". The Spurs match on Saturday wasn't this bad for the most part, maybe having to buffer every few minutes.Last edited on Tue 3 November 2009 by El-Dev Report Reply

Read Article » Go to VG_Staff's original post I watched the Arsenal v Spurs game on it last Saturday. On one or two occasions the picture became pixelated but on the whole it ran like a dream (as did the game! ) for me. I just wish more of my friends had the SkyPlayer now so we could group watch footy matches together. My only real complaint about the player would be the lack of quality 'on demand' content.

It's also miles better than footy I've watched over the internetz (p2p and alike).Last edited on Tue 3 November 2009 by Rogue_Soul VideoGamer.com Online User ID's (PSN, XBL, Wii + More ) Report Reply

Wouldn't say it's as good as Sky SD as I watched the first half in the room with Sky SD then the second half in the room with Sky HD. It is like an excellent internet stream when you watch it on the likes of iraqgoals.net. You just can always tell it was like watching something over the internet, it's all just a little bolcky. Over time it will hopefuly get better. Report Reply
