    Anyone using iFollow here? What is your take on the picture quality during live streaming? It's supposed to be HD quality, but my stream is of rather poor quality. Anyone else with a poor stream or is it just me?

    There is the option on the bottom right of the screen to change the quality. It's default is auto but you can change it to 720hd

    I thought it would stream the best picture possible when on "auto", but thanks for the tip - I'll try it on Saturday.

    I've watched a couple of games recently on it, one in Germany and one in Spain. The hotel Wi-Fi in Spain struggled with it and it kept buffering, so I eventually discovered I could change the quality and get it to stream continually, albeit at lower resolution. In Germany though it was fine at the highest setting. As you suggest, I don't think the "auto" setting actually works.

    There’s a few posts on other forums about the second half of games being really poor and jittery compared to the first half

    I saw that a couple of times but I assumed it was about our defence.

    When we played Wolves a couple of weeks back.. I saw that their fans who watched the games abroad weren't too impressed with the quality ether ..

    I've heard it works perfectly using a VPN from the UK.

    It's definitely possible, not sure if the vpn I used was up to the job though, the stream was atrocious!

    I was managing to get good streams using a VPN but the last time I tried the 'watch now' option wasn't there. So maybe they cracked down & managed to track them from the UK?

    The second half was awful for me on Saturday.

    If you're watching it in the UK through a VPN, it's unlikely to be much cop I'd have thought.

    I've never really had a problem through my VPN. I have a dedicated server with a 250 Mbps dedicated line that I use for my VPN though.

    I have used a vps and tunnelled via ssh rather than use a vpn on it. Speed test gives me my make connection i can get at home but its still jittery in second half of the away games i have watched
