    I've got a NOW TV box. Is it possible to buy a day pass to watch tonight's game?

    It's on Sky Red Button but I don't have Sky TV anymore.

    No. No red button option on Now TV Sky Sports passes.

    It should be on iFollow for £10 so you can watch it either on a phone tablet or PC
    or even if you have an HDMI output on a laptop stick it into the TV

    Annoyingly last time I tried to mirror an ipad though it seems to be blocked

    Think it recognises certain apps. If I remember right I couldn't get it to work one time because I had the 'snippet' app open on my pc.

    Thanks for this information FR; I've just paid a tenner for a pass on iFollow. Didn't realise you could do this.

    I watched the Boro game on ifollow and was pleasantly surprised with the quality. Multi cameras in HD, commentary from Matt Bailey and Bobby Hassell, replays, like a proper big time setup.
    I watched the Birmingham away game on the red button and it was one camera from the gantry, not HD footage, no replays, and the commentator was clearly uninformed.

    How do I buy the game on ifollow?

    Unless I am being monumentally stupid I can't see a link anywhere in the app?

    When I do that, literally nothing happens. Tried reboots, wifi, it's a dead link for me.

    Interesting - just tried on my ipad and I get the message Due to rights restrictions you cant view the game from this location
    on My laptop however - connected to the same router clicking the watch live now takes me to the purchase now page all seems a bit strange

    I now get a pop up saying "A match pass is required to watch this content" - with no link or anything to buy a match pass.

    Oh well. Can't make it there tonight so was going to pay the extra tenner but it seems not.

    Cheers for trying to help fella.

    can you login to ifollow via a web browser and buy the pass that way? Just bought a pass on the laptop and the streaming coverage is working fine - good picture and Matt Bailey giving the introductions
