    Have you forgotten the very annoying constant loss of signal during matches and sometimes no match at all. I am personally glad something was done because I was not going to renew my subscription.

    No match at all? I think I have forgotten that yes. When the signal used to occasionally drop it was only for a couple of seconds at a time and was not Adam or Matt's fault, they were always very apologetic about it. RS purposefully go to other matches and for much longer at a time too. I forgot to mention that the commentary was only a second or two behind the action too unlike the huge delay now.

    As a supporter who lives thousands of miles away, and who is lucky to get to any games, it is indispensable for me.

    Most games kickoff at 7:00 or 12:00 PST, so I am happy with the commentary. The quality of the person commentating is fine with me. The interruptions when on FM are annoying, but not too distracting.

    I also ensure that I watch the 10+ minutes highlights for each game, which I enjoy. The exception being our FA Cup game, which for some reason was never provided. Not sure if this is a legal issue with the FA, or if it was just too bad to share. ;-)

    As opposed to some comments on here, I also listen to all the interviews with LJ. I enjoy them, as I find him a pleasure to listen to, which I cannot say about many of the managers on TV. I also selectively listen to the player interviews.
