Yeah but the point I was making was the ease of if all, no cables needed, no quality issues, literally pressing a button on my phone that is at the side of me.

Immediately i noticed on the first highlight video i tried watching (Wigan vs Hull KR rd 1) that the video was quite choppy and was genuinely starting to mess with my eyes even in the short highlights package. So i went on and tried a couple of others (Hull FC vs Cas / Saints vs Huds) and noticed these did not have the same issues, everything is running smooth.
I then notice that these 2 games where not on tv, so were using a lower quality static camera to film the games. I then put on another game that i knew was on tv Wire vs Leeds) and again it was choppy and hard to watch.
I am now wondering if the website is struggling to playback the higher quality footage of the tv games compared to the lower quality single angle games?
I understand this is literally day 1 and hopefully it is something that will be fixed by round 1, because if this is how it plays them games it would be unwatchable.
I also don't want to come across like i am just bagging this for the sake of it, i actually think this is a very positive step forward for the sport and something that should have happened sooner. I just feel it is important to also point out it's current flaws and any decisions you may feel are incorrect / seem counter productive.'"
Guessing there's no app yet available on Smart TV? I know there is for iOS/Android but no idea if there's a TV version. Im guessing it would be better quality to watch through the app than the web browser of a smart tv, but no idea if that's going to be possible!

This is how I watch WatchNRL and Our League. I'm assuming I'll be able stream individual games the same way.

I have an LG smart tv and couldn't find it on the app store, early days yet though so would be nice if that turned up at some point.
I think i am going to try next what moto says they do and play off a laptop connected to my tv via hdmi.

I would guess so. The other reason Airplay works better for me is that I have my TV in a media wall so to keep taking it out to connect HDMI leads in the back/side would be a real pain. Airplay works perfectly

| My point was, I reckon even a modern mobile phone, let alone a laptop, probably has a much better processor etc than a smart TV. I could set up to cast from my phone as Stu does if I could be d, but my laptop sits conveniently near the TV, and connecting with a cable is simple and reliable. Whereas using the actual internet on my TV direct (as opposed to casting) is, in my experience, less reliable.

| Quote: MadDogg "Not sure there is enough distinctive value in the new streaming service. I assumed when this was first reported that Sky would screen two fixtures leaving four games to be exclusively streamed. This would mean Sky subscribers (such as myself) would consider signing up to streaming as well and then you potentially have something that can bring in substantial revenue. As it is Sky showing everything means it will only appeal to a very limited audience i.e. RL followers who don't have Sky and maybe a small group of international subscribers.'"
After round 15 Sky Sports will only show two games and the additional 4 will move onto a new Sky streaming app…

I know - no info yet on whether there will be an additional charge for Sky customers.

I read it that as Superleague Plus is totally seperate to Sky Sports Subscription so I imagine it will be full price on top of your Sky Sub

| So what does this mean for Wigan TV do they still get uploaded after the game or is it going to be live?

| Frustrating to see the Cas KO time has changed.
Had the day planned to sync in with the Fury fight later on and that's thrown it out.
I wonder if this will be a regular occurrence with more games being shown on TV?

Exactly the same here. I was hoping to get away from Cas for 5ish and probably head back to find somewhere to watch it in either Manchester or Wigan. I should still get back in time for it but will need to make sure I know where I'm heading in advance and that they're showing it. I live in Atherton and walked the full length of the main street when Joshua, Wilder, Parker, and co were fighting just before Christmas and out of the 15 bars or so, literally none had it on.

I know it isn't close, but it looks like Georgia Browns in Hindley will be showing it. They showed the AJ fight anyway.
Should be a good day of sport, just a shame it doesn't slot together as well as it did prior to the KO change.

Thanks for the heads up. I've not been in for years and I'd seen it had been done up, so might give that a try.
