Is there any update as to the clubs intentions regarding season ticket holders? Although I have access to BT Sport via my Virgin Media account (and red button etc.) I may not be near a TV when the matches are played. I went and downloaded the BT Sport App and it requires me to provide BT Sport credentials to log in. I know several in the same position.
If I’m reading you correctly the issue is being able to record BTS content.
As far as I’m aware (unless this has changed recently) the only way to be able to record BTS content was to have either a BT Box, or a Sky Box with BTS subscription logged on. I ended up with a Sky Box, don’t pay for Sky Sports, pay BTS directly, and all BTS channels are activated on my Sky menu and can be scheduled, recorded and saved. I don’t know if Virgin have the same deal, but I don’t particularly want a Virgin Box or contract either.
The BTS app, which allows me to stream to iPhone/iPad(and cast to smart TV) is not available to load onto the TV apps menu. If it was, content could then be recorded to any hard disk box connected. Which is what I’d really prefer, a one-off purchase of a Humax/Freesat/whatever recorder.
That’s how I saw it last time I had a close look, but if anyone can advise differently I’d be very happy to dump my old Sky+ Box and buy whatever other box would let me record BTS content streamed online to the TV or via the sat box itself.
Any thoughts?
