I can’t get to the game tonight as I’m in Portugal.
Apparently it’s on BBC i player red button.
I’ve never heard of this before. Sky red button yes.
As anyone used this before? No sign of it on I player so far ?.
Thanks

Can you get iplayer in Portugal? I get regional restriction which stops it opening.
With a sky box you can access it. Either direct on a UK box or other channels on an ex-pat box.

If you use a VPN set to the UK you should be able to get around the BBC iPlayer retrictions on location.

I watched the R*vers game last night on iplayer in Portugal, just to make sure it worked! Used the vpn and it worked better than it does in the UK.

I can't find the red button. Can you buy the game through the Burnley website?

Red button doesn't come up until the programme starts.

One way to access it is via the BBC Sport website. A link will appear there round about kick off time.

Yes i use a vpn when necessary in Portugal.
Only the audio is on Clarets +
Unfortunately there’s no Sky in Portugal.
However, I have some sky channels through AMLA who sell uk packages.
Thanks for the feedback.

I watched on the bbc website with no vpn in Spain last night. Switched streams to Spurs afterwards and watched the draw. Sure I shouldn’t have been able to, but could.
