I picked it up to watch u 20 and womens World cup over the next month and the quality of the streams fluctuates greatly for me at times, even with on demand streams. Just wondering if any of you subscribe to this and what are your opinions and or experiences.

Thanks.

This is what did me in. I cancelled because I'm perfectly capable of finding shitty streams on my own.

Same boat, normally I would as well but the on demand feature with some of the game times was appealing.

Thats unfortunate. Thanks for the response.

it sucks. they have alot of work to do before the WC. i get about a solid 10 min of clean, uninterrupted stream per match it seems.

That's the same experience I have had so far as well. Oh well. I guess being able to watch those overnight u 20 games on demand will still be worth the 20 bucks.

Strange that their streaming platform is so terrible in the year 2015.

I just use the Fox Sports Go app. Sometimes goes out, but overall it's fine.

I've had it for a couple years now to watch Champions League group stage games, when there are sometimes several big ones on at the same time. It's always been great for me. The picture quality will get shaky sometimes, but not often at all and not so bad that it ruins my viewing experience or anything. I like to stream the games from my computer onto my big tv through the Apple TV. I have one of the better internet deals that Comcast offers ( I think the best one you can get for your home), maybe thats why some of these issues haven't effected me.

I would recommend it if internet speed isn't an issue.

Its something to consider. I have a great PC with ample bandwidth from the ISP but maybe there is something to using a 3rd party device like google's chromecast,roku or apple tv.

I will look into that.

Thank you much for the input.

I've never had these issues streaming games over FoxSoccer2Go. The issues I have are with FoxSports1Go streaming. I liked getting the commentary at half so I would stream half time of CL and other games only to have to switch back to FoxSoccer2Go when the shitty FS1Go stream would go out.

Plus, since they don't have production (no scores or time) the delay is minimal compared to other streaming so my buddies wouldn't ruin by texting me before goals happened.

That being said, Fox MUST get better with both products before the WC or no one will be streaming WC games from Russia in the states (well not 'legally' at least). They're far behind ESPN and MLB.tv in terms of features and stream quality/reliability.
