Completely agree with another person mentioning that it felt very BBC/BT ish.

More an ITV feel tonight on Man Utd v Spurs with Jim, Clice and Glenn on duty.

Did anyone have any issues using the smart TV app? I kept getting an error complaining about HDCP copy protection but it's not plugged into anything.

The 'Goals Show' seems a bit lost with only the 'late' kickoff running.

Surely it would have been better to get highlights of the finished matches running during this, breaking off for any specific key action from Anfield (or wherever). We now effectively have two feeds of the same match, with proper match coverage on one and down the tube commentary from the studio on the Goals Version.

Seems extravagant, presumably we'll get an upsum of all the matches on the Goals Show once the late match concludes. Admittedly they've got nothing coming up but.....

The Chelsea vs Aston Villa match ran with no issues tonight.

Will also report back on the Arsenal vs Brighton match tomorrow. (COYG)

Highlights on Granada Reports including what looks like a red button graphic bottom right. What platform would that be off?

A commercial subscription via Sky getting the channels on the BT Sports Extra channels? According to https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2019/11/14/How-much-will-the-Amazon-Premier-League-Pass-cost it was on Sky channel 490 for pubs with match choice via the red button.

It’s why BT Sport Box Office has been temporarily removed from domestic subs. Although there is a BT Sport Box Office 2 now instead.

Same here I gave up and watched good old Match of the Day clearly the bbc don’t suffer from stutter issues.

I had a couple of issues again last night but nowhere near as bad as Tuesday when I had to give up.

Have to say the number of Guardian hitpieces about Amazon covering football is actually quite funny - few of which actually talk about the coverage.

How to say I found the Amazon coverage refreshing - a great mix of experienced broadcasters and current pundits and I loved how the whole broadcast style was simple but well done and the focus very much on the football (whereas too often the BT & Sky focus seems to be on what their 'big names' think).
