That and the connection keeps dropping/jumping. Commentary out of sync with what’s on screen so have to exit the app and restart several times throughout the match.

I was getting the same thing whilst watching it on the PS5 app and then switched over to the tv app and it’s been far better.

The picture is great and no buffering etc but I’m a good 30+ seconds behind live which is infuriating when discussing with other people.

Also the commentary and punditry is awful. Why have they got rid of the “no commentary” option?

the pundits were sent off to the farm by other channels years ago.

McCoist and Townsend over the past two nights. It’s not 2002.

That’s something I’m definitely disappointed with. Was a brilliant wee feature last year.

It was my favourite thing about last years trial.

I assume it’s because there’s no crowd, but I’d much rather listen to an empty stadium.
 
Been good for me watching on a web browser. Good live stats and ability to watch back goals too.

That's with every streaming service. IPTV will always be behind cable/sat
 
With Now TV and BT sports apps I can have those running on one screen on the laptop with Netflix/youtube on the other and it flows great.

With amazon prime - even with their app I notice you can't run anything as it just kills both.

Not sure if it's just a weird quirk or if they simply don't have the infrastructure as powerful as their rivals yet. Would make sense as they're fairly recent
 
The quality of the streams have been poor for me. But I do enjoy Ally McCoist on commentary.
 
I got rid of sky sports and if more football is included with my amazon prime fantastic
 
Bit hit and miss for me, the quality isn't same as satellite or cable.
 
Been crap on my Apple TV a buffering mess
60 up 20 down connection on Ethernet so they can't blame it on speeds
 
Quality is fine for me, but I don’t like those cringe player animations when they score. Eugh.
 
It has been absolutely fine for me so far and you cannot complain about the price. It’s great value for money.

Is the contrast horrible on them for you? Bright green pitch as the backdrop and they look like shadows.
 
Stream quality is shocking. De Gea was in goal for that 2nd goal on my stream then.
 
Stream quality will 100% be down to folks internet speed. I average 140 and it has been crisp, clean, and smooth the whole game.

Mines 100mbps. Second half was much better than the first to be fair. Agree re McCoist, makes a refreshing change to listen to a commentator who isn’t a complete dick.
 
I have always liked McCoist since A Question of Sport. Genuinely funny guy.

Agreed. Find most commentators proper miserable half the time, whereas you can tell McCoist is just enjoying watching the game.
 
Had a HD stream with no issues at all on an old firestick
I definitely prefer their presentation to Sky and BT, it comes across as more mature and professional with less of an agenda

Yep. He's a bit of a cock. But that's not the same as being a dick.
 
Ally McCoist was great... Sounded like a bloke who was happy to be watching football and just full of praise for things.

When I tried to turn my subtitles off, there was an audio option other than English called 'stadium FX' or something. I think maybe you may have been able to have no commentary with that option.
 
Stream got better as United took control of the game. Non United fans closing the stream.
 
This is the third game I've watched on Amazon this week, all three have been perfect. If I could watch every game on here that would be amazing,
 
The quality is much better compared to last year, it was dreadful.

McCoist is great on commentary.
 
I seem to be behind my friends watching prime. No idea why.

Replays seem to be grainy. Other than that it's nice to be able to have all the games in one place.
 
It’s been shite.

Also even if it has been decent for others, how can anyone prefer that over Ultra 4K HD on Sky?

I don’t understand. People really hate the punditry/commentary that much that they’d sacrifice picture quality?
