How do you put the radio commentary in the background, I can only get either video or radio?

Open the radio commentary in a new browser tab, and you'll have both open at the same time in different tabs.

Worked and synced well for me but only using Microsoft Edge, couldnt get it to work with Chrome.

But seriously, where the oxf*rd has the half time chat gone? I don't want to listen to a looped jingle for 15 minutes. I'm guessing that means we don't get the post match stuff either, as an exile that was half the fun of listening to a game.

Commentary is my only complaint so far. They must be able to have the commentary playing along with the video. It's going to be great to watch a season for the first time in years from here in Nepal. Fortunately, the internet has just in the last year improved so much that streaming is actually workable. Soon to get unlimited downloads which will also be helpful (currently capped, but at last count it was capped at 2TB over 3 months which I won't use).

Radio commentary playing for me okay at half time. Playing the match video on my Mac Mini linked to my TV via HDMI, streaming the audio through iFollow on my iPhone.

I don't get what the audio tab on the iFollow video is for if it's not for commentary. 'English', 'Away', 'Home'... You'd think that if you click on away you get the away teams commentary, home for the home team commentary... not sure what the English tab would be for...

Well, on the personal positives I seem to have somehow listened to the game at no cost despite being prepared to shed £110 as the first games this
Season coincide with my trips abroad. I managed to see video but opted for audio commentary.

Used PIA VPN (spoofed from Berlin), full screen hd with a separate tab for BBC berks commentary. Very impressive for a fiver a pop, saves travelling to our away relegation scraps.

Worked almost flawlessly for me here in Thailand - only issue was the audio from the match (crowd etc) was about a second behind despite repeated refreshes etc. I suspect this was more to do with the terrible internet I was using rather than iFollow though.

Quite impressed and will give it another go on my laptop via VPN once back in England before shelling out £110.

Just watched the game on ifollow from across the pond in Canada. Firstly, even though QPR are not on ifollow there was no problem getting the game. The quality is good and the sound was good, the only weird issue is that there is no commentary, which is fine but gets a bit of getting used to. Anyway, if the standard keeps up it was well worth the $190 CAD to subscribe, pity about the match though lol.

Whats the general consensus on using a VPN then? Any issues streaming? And does it all work ok in Chrome?

Also - was it fine using a UK card address for sign up?

Also, only other shame was the lack of replays. I know they only have the one camera, but it's a shame they couldn't stick a replay in of the goals and key incidents. Hopefully something they'll implement eventually.

So, what I could tell from abroad a choice of video and BBC radio Berks commentary. Combined would be perfect. I chose commentary but that's just me.
Either way I appear to have paid nothing so far for a service I was considering having the pay £110 for.
As per sky v radio Berks I opted for the latter. Accept I'm not Joe average. Would have happily traded money for 3 (or even one at the end) point

You paid nothing for just the radio right? You didn't have any visuals?

I paid for PIA VPN, seemingly the cheapest per month job (you can get discounts on all of them for longer subscriptions). Spoofed from Germany, no real drop in DL speed, and worked perfectly. Paid for ifollow with paypal, but i doubt theyre clever enough to care about the origin of the money, especially as itll be a bulk of their sales.

Perfect! Spoofed from Germany - as in you used a German server/IP?
