OUTV - Domestic & International Broadcasting

[brassmonkey]

How can us overseas fans watch matches in the champ?

See that portsmouth have set up their own season pass streaming service https://www.portsmouthfc.co.uk/news...Cr-cgjK6ZxNmu32ekg_aem_xO680rhZ8RhY70gEbEyhfA

Are we doing something similar?

Hope so ! For all its faults It is essential for us expats.

Would love to see this copied, especially at that price as I’m pretty sure it’s a lot less than I paid last season.

 

[Malc]

The price mentioned by Pompey is higher than I paid for iFollow last season, but allowing for inflation it is a reasonable price. I would pay that.

 

[Emilio]

I was thinking of this just yesterday. I've been told for us oxpats iFollow will still be available, but I can't see where I would access that. Getting a bit concerned, as the season approaches! Anyone know what I need to do/where I need to go for this?

 

[OUSP]

Ifollow is being replaced by OUTV, which will also provide RadOx commentary. Prices and subscriptions not yet published.

 

[WokinghamYellow]

Of course they are not published yet, I am sure our extended season will be blamed again despite them knowing iFollow was closing for a year. If the service is anything like the new website it will be a shambles

 

[holdsteady]

Bit of a long shot here but I am in Disney world Orlando for the Coventry away game, are there any bars on site that might show it as I believe its on paramount plus? Or any bars nearby? Probably a bit of a stupid question but never even been to the US before so absolutely clueless as to how I can catch the game, I have Sky on my phone but that didn't work when I was in Majorca last year so its not likely to work over there, would rather watch it out than on a dodgy feed but will take that if I can't.

Is this going to be available for UK customers?

That's a bit shoddy given for the last few seasons people have had iFollow 'season tickets' when living abroad to watch all broadcast matches, which was much cheaper than paying £10 a game.

Has been no communication from iFollow or the club directly to subscribers about any of this - whether something similar will exist or not, how to access or pricing. Was indicated in the Sky Sports announce that clubs would have iFollow or an in-house streaming service for non-UK based fans.

Feels like a portion of the support forgotten about.

I was in Orlando the day England played Greece in the WC qualifiers (the last minute David Beckham free-kick game), we found a sports bar on International Drive which was showing it (and rammed full of English). There are quite a few sports bars on International Drive, so a Google search around that area might get you something.

UK customers will just have audio commentary.

Many Champ. clubs are yet to publish their subscription prices for 2024-2025.

Millers, there’s 4 of them nearby - nearest 2 to Disney (depending on where your staying) are State Road 535 opposite Wallmart or Vineland Road near outlets
Pint of American beer is around $5 a pop

Cheers for that, there is one 3/4s of a mile walk from my hotel. Can you just ask them to put a certain game on the tv for you do you know?

Around what date was that? Was that for a UK or non-UK subscription? Have had nothing myself.

Nothing for me either.

I had an email from iFollow cancelling my UK subscription. From memory it was after the end of the season proper but before the play-off final.

 

[OX3-OX5-BS21-BS6-NE66]

Back in April or May I received an e-mail from Ifollow saying they were sorry to see me leave, although my then current subcription was due to expire in July. When I checked it out they were referencing a previous season's payment made on an expired card. I was though able to get Radio Oxford coverage for the remainder of the season

They have around 15-20 t s showing different sports, obvs main screens are for American sport but have seen them put people’s requests on

Well hopefully with it being 3pm on a Friday afternoon and not much else on they will put it in for me. Cheers for the help.

The others are spot on. My guess is espn+ at one of the sports bars (not espn main channel)

You won’t find anything inside Disney. Be mindful getting in and out of Disney takes quite a bit of time on shuttle buses or sky trains

Nah, CBS outbid ESPN for Football League matches this year - so any games that Sky shows will be on Paramount+ not ESPN+ this season (I'm going to have to cancel my subscription to the latter, and take up a subscription to the former!).

But I genuinely don't know if any bars will have a subscription to Paramount+, never mind be willing to stick it on for Holdsteady.

Your best bet if you really don't want to miss the Coventry game, is to bring a laptop with you, hang out in your hotel room, get a one week free trial of Paramount+ and then remember to cancel it when you leave!



On the more general point, starting to get a little concerned that with everything communications-related being such an epic shambles at the club at the moment that they're not going to have OUTV ready to go for the season's start.

Doesn't matter to me for the first couple of weeks, for the above reasons, but by the time the Blackburn game comes round, there won't be anywhere else to watch it.

 

[Scottie]

Yesterday I had to register with Southampton and pay a fiver to watch the game.
A shocking state of affairs considering Oxford were at home

Yeah. It was a decent stream. Seamless compared to ifollow. I wonder if we'll be using StreamAMG for our oufcTV service? Tried and tested tech. Hope so. Then again I suppose Benson might know a bloke who knows a bloke who's a bit shaky on the video side but has an app that integrates the whole fan activation process using digital tokens into a seamless 360 engagement experience using QR codes and AI. And bitcoin (probably). Let's see.

UK customers will just have audio commentary.

But can we watch the full recording of the match afterwards?

 

[Northstandboy]

Good question. You would think Sky would have them on demand. Depends on the deal.
