Never having used it, what is the stream quality like and how many games were shown last season? Is there a season long option or just individual games?
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies.

I watched a few Tuesday night away games. Cost £10 - the quality was decent enough. Didn't have any problems with quality or sound (seems to be commentary from whichever local radio ground they're at. One thing - it would never let me mirror the picture to my TV.
 
Regarding mirroring - I had to use a HD cable and it worked.

Usually all games available if abroad or if you use a VPN.

In the UK it is generally non 3.00pm Sat kick offs - although that may well change this year if we are not allowed in the ground.

Quality for me was pretty much HD.
 
So far it has been matches other than Sat 3pm (but you can watch those matches if abroad). Limited camera work, but quality good and only experienced buffering on one occasion. I have also used a cable to connect to the TV. As said above it tends to be the commentary for the local radio but is ok. They did offer both a match subscription or a season pass. I did not do a pass because I only watch 6 or 7 matches a season
 
Had it last season and watched all the post oyston games the season before that. Had one game where the password failed, when trying to use it on a new computer and the customer response took until just before the final whistle was blown. otherwise its a good quality picture, the commentary generally comes from radio lancs and is generally awful.

Will add that because of where the commentary is you mostly only hear the away supporters which is a bit of an irritation.
a really good thing is that you can review things that happen during the game.

Thanks for all the above. Does it work via a website or via an app as if an app I should be able to put on my firestick where I have a good one.
 
It will work on a phone (app), tablet (app), mac (i think) or pc browser (I use Chrome)

Not sure about firestick to be honest!

In Spain it.'s fine and you can pay per game or get season pass (didn't think it was available in UK though?).

I had a season ticket last season because I can't do away games.
Signed up using a VPN no problem and every game it was very good quality.
The only downside is the Oystain arse wipe Chissy is the commentator sometimes 🥴
 
I've had it for a while now watching thro' a VPN so could watch Sat games. Quality of picture is OK. Used to be single camera with no replays but I think that has improved. Purchased on a game by game basis. Last seasons rules were that about 70% ish of what you paid goes to the club you purchase the match from. I don't actually agree with that even though MY money always goes to Blackpool. Bazrob and Andy Holt are vocal on the morality of iFollow.
 
Derby. I'm not sure what you are asking.
I don't use IPTV but I think by doing so you can get a free stream. Is that what you are after?
Why not just support BFC and pay £10 for iFollow.
I expect if the season starts behind closed doors there won't be any UK restrictions watching on Saturdays.
 
I always watch on a laptop but link that to my TV through an HDMI cable.
I have a "football" button on my Sony TV which improves the quality of the picture considerably.

If you read the earlier posts I asked about I follow on firestick, others mentioned iptv, not me. Slagging others off is a bit of a trait on here sometimes.
 
How decent ifollow is depends on your expectations of it. If your expecting sky or BBC type picture, programme quality and commentary then your gonna be very disappointed. If your thinking more of Bob down the road filming your kids football final with his new camcorder from Argos and his mate commentating on it then you'll be a lot happier.

Derby.
Slagging me off when I'm trying to be helpful? Bit touchy aren't we. 😉
(PS I don't go back and review everything that is said on a thread before posting)

You are the one who accused me of trying to rip the club off which I wasn't but I don't expect you to think before posting. Shall simply ignore your future comments.
 
It was me that said using iptv instead of the club is ripping them off.

When the Os were here - for me it was more than acceptable - now it’s not!!

I didn't excuse you of anything. I simply and politely asked you a question.

Why not support bfc and pay £10 for ifollow are your words implying that to do it any other way is ripping the club off. My post was asking about I follow and subscription so where you get that from I don't know.

Suggestion not criticism. 👍
 
I have an ifollow season ticket which I use for the away games. I watch the games on my ipad & think the quality is good. Using a free app called VPN unlimited (green background logo with a white key in the app store) just select the quickest non UK server and away you go.
I've tried various paid VPN's on my laptop which I would then connect via a HDMI cable to my TV but none work :-(
If anyone can recommend a VPN that works on laptops I would be grateful?
 
I tried Nord mate but it would not work? I even contacted their support team, they gave up & I got a refund . Strange that it worked for you?
 
Nord worked for me too. It did stop working in around February (I think) but eventually figured out that it worked fine so long as you used the Obfuscated Servers (one of the options on the LHS)
 
I-follow is utterly crap like watching a game from the 60's in colour, production value barely zilch with a radio Lancashire commentary.
But hey I still pay for it when games are away(not local)on Tuesday nights the worse was an EFL trophy game this season where I paid a fiver for a ticket with my lad he couldn't go so gave them away and ended up sat on my own at home paying a tenner double what I'd paid in the first place. 😁

Couple of things. There is a setting on iFollow that you have to check/uncheck, sorry I can't be more specific because I can't remember at the moment. I had had similar problems to you and Mr Google and the wider football community helped me out.
As for Nord you may have to travel around the world until you find a country that lets you watch. (It's OK you don't need to quarantine.) Initially I watched through a double server in USA/Canada but that stopped working so last time I used it was via Germany.

It's still better than nothing though.

I remember listening to Radio Lancs on a radio that had an aerial fully erected sticking through a kitchen window and touching an outside light just to get a commentary and so I-Follow sounds like a massive improvement!!
