FAO Virgin Media Customers...

[Dazzler]

Who haven't got BT Sport,The Champions League Final
Is being shown on Virgin Preview Channel 100.

[Dazzler]

Just noticed that it's also being shown on BT Sport Showcase.

[South West Claret.]

Thanks Dazzler I might be able it on my older TV.

[Dazzler]

Well I'm quite pleased about it because I would have had to watch it on my phone via youtube or the BT app.
Or a crappy foreign stream on my tv.

[JohnMac]

It's also on youtube with a BT Sport UHD stream. I watched the EUFA Final and itcwas quality.

BT are showing it free on the BT Sport website and also on YouTube.
Could you not watch it through your TV on either of those?

[Dazzler]

Aye,could have done But whenever I've watched films through youtube on Tv they stutter about every 10 secs.
It gets a little annoying.
Not sure if it's a tv problem or youtube.

Anybody has sky Q its on youtube through the app on the box

Internet issues that

[Dazzler]

I don't have the same problem when using a streaming site for Sport though.

[FactualFrank]

I can get Youtube through the TV, but never actually watched anything via TV and YT, is there a specific URL to find the stream, or will it be found simply by searching?

[ClaretTony]

Only way I can watch it is via youtube sat at my computer

[FactualFrank]

I think it depends on the tv. Newer models tend to have an Apps option with Youtube being one of them.

[wilks_bfc]

You Tube use to be an app on the firestick but seems to have disappeared

My TV is old - over 9 years old to be exact - it's one of the old HD Ready TVs so doesn't do anything fancy other than switching on and off.

[claretburns]

If you have a HDMI cable you can connect your tv and computer to watch the game through the tv

[KRBFC]

Do Virgin Media customers not get BT Sports for free anymore? I know I used to before I switched to Sky.

Not anymore, think they ended the free subscription a few months ago, to watch BT now you need to subscribe or you can for three on the mobile app if you're with EE

[dushanbe]

It was never free, it was included as part of the top TV package and still is

[MACCA]

Anything available for the posh folk who have sky?

Or is it a case of YouTube and HDMI out if the sky box into the laptop to link it to the TV?

[MACCA]

See above.

If you've got sky, just take the HDMI cable from your sky box to your laptop. The picture will then be on the TV. Put on full screen on laptop, and away you go.

Obviously your laptop is on the floor inf ront of the TV, but turn it so it isn't facing you.

[Rightfoot]

its free on BT go to your tv guide and find BT Sports and its there - No Laptop needed

Just as easy. 1 lead out of sky box into laptop, and sorted

[IanMcL]

Excellent pic via YouTube. 4k! Thanks BT. Could have made it PPV!

That might have worked if I'd had a lap top.

Not free on Sky, had no way of watching it on my TV. Did start watching it on my PC via YouTube but got fed up after just over 10 mins with the pic freezing at times.

[Imploding Turtle]

It's part of BT's agreement to having the rights that they'd offer the final for free.

I had no issues with the YouTube stream on my PC. but i was only streaming at 1080p.

Think you need a new telly!

[Grumps]

Watched it via YouTube app on skyQ, excellent pic, no break ups at all

[ClaretTony]

Think you need a new telly!

No I don't, it works perfectly well thanks.

[Quickenthetempo]

There's an account on Facebook that sells you BT sports for £12 for the year.

[IanMcL]

No I don't, it works perfectly well thanks.

Yes I am sure it does Tony. However, those old 625 lines colour tellys fill your living room and you can't tell your Ronaldo from your Dobbo!

What you could do is move your tv to the bedroom and get a nice big one UHD for the lounge. Tell yourself you deserve as reward for the hard work.

World Cup in bed!

you have an on/off button?!!*? .....luxury!

There’s a way around that now. Use the Firefox web browser app and it usually comes up with YouTube in there. It’s exactly the same as it used to be on the app. Literally just takes 5 seconds longer.
