However silk works on my mobile,used this method successfully for the Stockport and Boreham Wood games, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Roy Race 2,863 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 My Samsung TV is a strange beast at best, using browser for streaming matches was a long winded failure. Even if I managed to log on wouldn't trust it to see out 90mins. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

andrich 476 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I’ve logged on through my Panasonic smart tv for Dagenham and Stockport. However it’s a right pain trying to type in on there and hit scroll bar etc. I find it’s best to start off and buy the pass on my iPad (I’m sure any tablet or phone would do the same), then log in on the TV for the game, just needing to type email address and password (keep it short!)

I tried going through the process plonking away with my remote keypad (a pain in the butt) several times & at the final hurdle was presented with a blank screen, my TV obviously smarter than me. Used tablet three times with no problems. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for that I am in!!!! , I think on the previous away games it was a straight forward pay. The sign in part of it is misleading on this site. Cheers 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Che Bentos 1,481 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 It seems smart TVs are not actually that smart. The web browser on my Panasonic is so basic. I either watch on my desktop or plug an HMDI into my telly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilder Bollox 5,441 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 It's probably some of that modern reverse jargon that the yoof of today are down with and smart means thick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mjc12345 143 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I have used ipad for all games other than stockport where the ps4 worked fine for that one. Trying to stream fcht games on there and it freezes and then goes black, back live, goes back to something from 2 mins ago and black again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoddie 3,035 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The live stream will require a browser that's compliant with current standards, or at least recent standards. Most smart TVs and other devices like consoles use proprietary browsers which probably don't get the necessary level of investment to meet those standards. They're added as a 'feature' so people can check Hotmail or Twitter, etc., rather than for streaming Netflix or anything equally strenuous - in most cases the manufacturer allows third parties like Netflix to make apps available for use on the device, which bypasses any issues with the browser. Any device that uses Google's Android operating system, or Apple's iOS, will almost certainly be able to deliver the live stream, even if the software on the device is a few years old. The Digibox supplied by my internet provider is one such device and it works perfectly, though it was a pain in the ass using the remote as a keyboard to log in so I only did it the once. A lot of new smart TVs do use Google Android but many more do not. Stick with laptops, tablets, phones, etc. and you should be okay. At least that way you can be reasonably certain that any issues you face are to do with your internet connection rather than the device itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am using Fire stick and tonight was able to add Yahoo browser to the firestick and from there and with help from Steve managed to sign in and connect to my Samsung tv.

ewalsh 1,177 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 The Stockport game worked great on my Samsung TV, however the Boreham Wood and Yeovil games would cut out every 5-10 seconds and go to a black screen before coming back. Decided that was unwatchable and used WBs method of laptop and HDMI Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pen21 22 Posted October 16, 2020 Report Share Posted October 16, 2020 I’ve no smart tv, but have an Amazon fire stick, that I downloaded Amazon Silk to, all perfect last Tuesday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hoddie 3,035 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 I think I am gonna pay it, but I'm not gonna be happy about it. It's a couple of kid-free hours which are pretty rare for me, and on reflection I'd probably pay twice as much for the break. I'm half expecting a very one-sided game, but which side I'm not quite sure yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nick 2,018 Posted October 17, 2020 Report Share Posted October 17, 2020 https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/live:bbc_radio_surrey Different commentary to the streamed one perhaps .. might be worth trying with the streaming .. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
