Just to clarify, because the site doesn't mention it, will they be showing our recent non-televised games? Or is it just games from the past?

I love the idea so have just happily signed up. Now it keeps asking me to sign in. I complete the details, click on a video and get the "sign in" pop-up box again. I'm going round in circles. They have spelled Josh Charnley's name "Charnely" on the top story. So far the only thing that has worked fine is them sending me an e-mail to say my credit card has been billed.

Doesn't say does it. And if they don't do that, nothing in it for me at all. My DVD collection will cover all the classic matches they cover, I reckon!

Is it free this weekend? Because I can't get any of the videos to play.

Looks as though I have to enter all my details, including payment details, just to sample a three day trial. I think I'll leave it, and see how the site progresses over the coming weeks and months. Aero leather have just taken payment from my account today, so that 's enough expense for one day.

A little septic over this:
I assume that games won't be available in full because Sly have exclusive rights. I won't pay Murdoch for 900 (or whatever) channels of trash just to see 80 minutes of something I might be interested in every other week; so this would be tempting.

However I'd like to see (much) more than 5 minutes of highlights & 20 minutes of talking heads (whether or not it is Martin Offiah) for me dosh (if that's all it is then it becomes simply a parochial version of [the free] SLTV).

Additional questions: standard or HD streaming? Downloads (with expiring view time) a la iPlayer? What gets shown in the off season?

I'm another holding off until content can be better gauged.

(good idea though - assuming content is available to make it worthwhile).

When you sign up the auto renew is set to yes by default so in 3 day you will be charged for a month

So i recommend signing up then going into subscription and selecting cancel. This allows you to use it for the next 3 days but will not auto renew.

just the highlights that are on the SL channel on youtube...


how groundbreaking
