| Premier are pretty good in that regard. HD streaming of live matches with absolutely no stuttering or issues whatsoever.

| Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "Technology is a funny thing. First you have the race to the top such as a few years back, everyone had to have a banging full spec hi-fi to listen to their music, or lately the latest Ultra Mega UHD OLED VOLED ZOLED 6 metre TV.
But the people abandon listening to music properly in favour of tinny earphones, awful radio reception and speakers and streaming; and choose to watch films on a mobile phone.
If you could stream a match so that it was in HD and generally of comparable quality to the latest HD at least, then it may be a way forward, but the present shakiness and poor quality of most streaming is unattractive to me.'"
It never ceases to amaze me that youngsters today will happily listen to music on a phone which sounds very like the small hand held, tinny AM radio on which I listened to Radio Caroline back in the 1960s. Technology - it's wonderful, isn't it.

Bongser too loathes having young 'uns choice of music aired tinnily to him on public transport (though they, of course, have the basic human right of being able to trample on the former human rights of others - perhaps a good, old fashioned thick ear might improve their musical tastes) but in fairness, Bulliac, with a decent set of new-fangled ear-plugs (or whatever modern parlance deems them) Bongser often hears many musical details that he missed in his youth. One should resist throwing the bathwater out with the babies.

I've no gripe with the music, per se, their ears their choice - it's the medium, not the message for me. On the rare occasions I'm trapped with it, it's no problem to be honest and my only thought is the fact that the delivery doesn't seem to have improved over the last 50 years. As you say, earphones are fine, but over half a century you'd have expected speaker technology to have improved at a similar rate to others. Indeed, speaking as someone who used to play in bands 'back in the day', I can say that larger speakers have definitely improved, and improved considerably, which makes it all the more mystifying why the phones are not even a jot better than my Radio Caroline receiving AM radio in the sixties.

| Fair point, B. Could understand it as mobile 'phones reduced and reduced in size from the primordial brick, but now that that trend is being reversed to some extent, you'd expect bigger screens, better cameras etc to be accompanied by bigger, better speakers. Then again, a lot of music/video that comes from 'phones is streamed and therefore limited by the quality of that stream. And (never begin a sentence with "And", Bongser), hey presto, the good thread "End of Sky & RL" is suddenly back on topic.
All the best for next season lads, (and the January shenanigans therebefore).
