[QUOTE="Thingimubob, post: 893419, member: 20956"] True, but I'm assuming that it'll be a bit like the Sky Sports app where you more or less have to watch it on a laptop / tablet / phone? While that doesn't bother someone like me, it could potentially put off some viewers (especially maybe older or less tech savvy ones) who prefer to ease of flicking over the channel to put the game on. For example my parents have BT Broadband so get BT Sport included, but only via the app / website and not as a proper TV channel. My dad was definitely annoyed by this and hates having to watch games on the computer so just wouldnt watch it half the time :rolleyes: I've since got them a Chromecast which has helped loads, but that's an extra bit of tech that you have to pay £30ish quid for, as well as having a good enough internet connection to stream it, which is definitely not a given in a lot of parts of Wales! As you said anyway, if they show minimum of 3 Welsh games per week I might considering trying it out, but you're going to lose so so so many casual viewers without the Friday night Scrum V game on BBC 2 Wales [/QUOTE]
