stozo Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 For those who subscribe is it any good? I'm considering subscribing with other ways of listening to games becoming fewer each week. How much extra content does it have? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's certainly nothing special, but worth a quid a month I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JamesD Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 i thought it was worth it, but about a month in they made it incompatible with my computer (i have a mac). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's a decent enough like, especially if you live outside newcastle (were they have blocked you from listening to any other station), saying that I haven't actually paid a dime for it, a mackem bought me it Still if you want match commentry then it's worth it. (use windows media player 11) 10 doesn't seem to work with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Doesn't work for me in Firefox either; have to use IE. Always a shitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongMag Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Worth it - especially if your outside of the UK. 1) You can listen to every game, which is something those of us outside the UK can't do with 5live (they block non-UK users). 2) Highlights of all the games, including goals -- again useful when St James is rather far away and the game in question isn't on TV.

Syrette Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 It's pretty cool - but I've never paid for it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
matta Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 you see alot of interviews with players after match, see summarys and or goals from games back to 2000 i belive.. radio ofcourse is nice.. good way to keep track of the games when no way of watching it is available..:=) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicky Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Its alright, but I won't be subscribing again next season. They've put more security then the army. Only now works with Windows media player, and Internet Explorer, which is a big no-no for me. Lucky it was as a one-off season price, otherwise I'd have cancelled by now. Thats probably why they done that offer actually - get everyone in for the season, then add all the ridiculous copyright protection stuff in a month later.

toontownman Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Its good, but it stopped working for me about 3 months ago for no reason and i never get any response from the help option. Bit stuck to be honest. But i had it for a couple of years before with no trouble, im not sure if its changed but i had access to every other club aswell so basically highlights and goals for the past 6 seasons for any club in the country. Not bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
heero Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 its ok, you can follow all the games on radio, and you get highlights, video news. good for newcastle fans abroad Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChezGiven Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 Its worth it to know that if all else fails you've got the radio stream. Depends where you are in the world. Digital broadcasters are only going to get better at ensuring that only those people with the right to hear or see a match will be able to. The issue with macs is a fucker as they use Microsoft's DRM software. They apparently have no plans to change this either. Its not bad value for the first year but everytime i want to listen i have to crank up the windows pc. Not sure i would keep it if i wasnt abroad just to see the highlights etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 No, but there aren't streams for every game in my experience. Most, but not all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
garth Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 It's better than nothing!, if I can't find a video stream on the internet then it's okay but they have dropped their price since I first subscribed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
