    Put my code in yesterday with no issues. Currently got the highlights of last season on.

    Slightly off topic, but a tip for anyone who's just getting the black screen, or constant buffering, try lowering the quality in the settings in the bottom right corner. I had it on intermittently before, powered the quality to 720p and its faultless now, albeit a slightly more grainy picture.

    Perfect for me. Hit the BFC button, Match Centre and there they are, warming up.

    I'm a bit conflicted. Well a lot really. After seeing the Dispatches program about the massive carbon footprint of streaming video, I've cancelled my Neflix subscription and started recording all sorts of live TV (films etc) so I can watch them when I want without streaming. However, the only way I can currently watch my football team is to stream it. Although I suppose there can't be much difference (in carbon terms) between me streaming a game or driving 75 miles each way to Oakwell.

    If anyone else is similarly worried about the effects of streaming, you can massively reduce the carbon footprint of streaming by watching on the smallest screen possible, because the amount of data is related to screen size.

    Didn't watch the programme. If I watch something on Netflix how much more damage ( and why) am I doing than if I watch something on the BBC

    Ive a feeling there is quite a big difference between a 75 mile drive and streaming a football match for a couple of hours - much more environmentally friendly to stream

    Resolved. Maybe the mass volume of all reds fans subscribing at the same time

    Same here. It freezes every 30 seconds. Previously, it has been OK for me, with maybe one major freeze per game, where I had to completely refresh.

    It's bloody awful at the moment. So much so that I may have to skip today.

    It took a lifetime to log in etc - finally managed it after being kicked out of it numerous times - I think it just wants to wind me up ... & it works!

    Just one small gripe. I don’t like all the adverts when I’d rather be listening to our commentators setting up the match.

    I know there’s no way round that but I wish there weren’t so many of them

    I was having the same issue. I've just turned it off Auto on video settings and it's perfect now.
