the one thing I have found to be annoying is that if the game you want is on ITV or Eurosport, and not on Sky or BT, this service wont show it. And sometimes this can be major games. However apart from that this is an amazing service.
I would give a 9/10 in this section
How is the layout and ways to view?
The basic layout is a webpage with the stream in the middle channels on the side and button under the stream to change the quality into SD (HD is on automatically)
Underneath that is "Upcoming Events" box which tells you what is going to be shown today and on what channel. The channel is a hyperlink that when clicked switches you to the channel shown, and scrolls you up so that the stream is central, this is a nice touch.
On the right there is a link to view "all upcoming Events" this opens up a new tab which shows a calender of all the games they are showing. First its nice that they have a calender, and its thoughtful that it opens a new tab so that it wont stop the stream you are currently watching.
Under all of that is a section of site updates which tells you of when maintanence is going to take place and what other devices they support or updates etc.
Ps4 and Xbox One - they are working on it
Android and iOS - there is an app
XBMC - Is supported (and is a very nice layout - you can also see calender on XBMC)
Iphone and Ipad - there (apparently) is an app
I have used it on the webpage and XBMC, and on android. all were amazing (apart from from selecting HD channels on android - it will buffer for ages, and you cant tell the difference between HD and SD)
I would give a 10/10 in this section
So does it work?
Yes, however I have no idea where (which country) it is getting streamed from, and there is only one option for each channel. I have watched many a-game with no problems and some times games stop (for only a second) a couple of times in a match. I even have tried streaming at several random times when not that many people would have been on and sometimes it still pauses for a second.
Is it watchable 100% yes... that is the short answer
I would give a 8.5 or 9/10 in this section
How much does it cost?
1 day pass - £2
1 month - £5
2 months - £7
1 year - £27.99
I would give a 10/10 in this section
Final Say:
This is fantastic site, the cost is second to none. I mean seriously £28 for a YEAR of sports.
Coupled with the fact that it runs on XBMC means that you can watch this on the big screen.
The only minor is that if you want a game that is not on sky or BT you cant really watch it here. I have had to use different services because of this, as it does get a bit annoying. the question you have to ask yourself is what sports/teams you want to watch. Even if you have to go on free sites for those times your team is not on, the price is amazing for what you get the rest of the time.
My final rating would have to be a 9/10
