Primetime Internet Service - Absolute Shambles

It was OK for me (stream)

Missed most of round 11 due to buffering, that's all I lost of both big fights

However for that money you shouldn't lose a thing

It was cobbled together so late, hopefully in future Sky will carry it properly and Virgin too, so there is no bull**** with the authorisation

 

Stream was ok for me. As others have already said there were issues with the 11th round.

Impressed by PrimeTimes overall presentation. Excellent show that they put together.

More than a little pissed off that those with Sky got to view the entire event for free.

 

I was happy with all the stream, had problems in round 11 but overall not a bad stream...

 

If you're paying 15 quid for a legal stream, it should be no less than perfect, IMO.

 

My stream re-buffered 5 or 6 times though the whole night, can't really complain about that.

Can't beleive that they gave the fight away for free on sky!!! that is an absolute joke!

It's just occurred to me - have we all been conned? i.e. get the boxing fans to pay top dollar for the fight along with some casuals and then the channel is 'accidently' given away for free to hook in some more casuals for a potential second broadcast. Seems to me Mick got the best of both worlds last night in that everyone who wanted to pay - paid and those who were thinking about it but didnt pay got to see it anyway and may be enticed to purchase next time.

 

I won't be paying 15 quid again to watch Dirrell run for 36 minutes thats for sure

 

£15 for an internet stream is outrageous. I had the primetime stream and showtime feed. The primetime stream was better pic quality but the showtime one was much more stable.

If Carl Froch and his team think primetime is the answer for his career then they really need to get off the crack. These guys are a bunch of cowboys. For the people that paid for it make sure u dont let up and demand your money back!!

 

to be honest anything mick hennesey gets involved in goes tits up ......he was sat ringside all night with a smug grin on his face..

 

Mine was fine. Odd buffer here and there. I suspect they made the tv free because of demand and issues with unscrambling

 

Stream was ok for me, good quality, it buffered up twice during the Froch fight but came back pretty quickly, but its kind of expected with a stream it will buffer at some point.

 

i went to pay for the stream at 22:00 hrs last night & found i was too late so primetime missed out on my 15-00 - how stupid is that - luckily i managed to get a free stream for the taylor fight - i have returned home today where i have sky & it certainly is not free

 

Phone line didn't work so got them to cancel the tv deal thing.

Ended up getting the stream...... after about an hour of the missus trying to sort the download!! Buffered once or twice then gave up the ghost totally in round 11.

Bloody shambles and now i've got a pop up appearing every time I change pages asking me if I want to open the tools that I downloaded last night.

Joke!!

 

Sorry, but this was a PPV event, it should have been perfect. Whenever the stream re-buffered we actually had to re-log in again to get it going. Not acceptable!

£15 is a lot to pay considering what fights we actually got, it really should have been a perfect stream.

 

I didn't have to re-log in, I just refreshed and it came straight back - I probobly missed around 10 minutes at the most out of six hours - I don't think that is too bad. Unfortunately buffering seems to be the nature of streams at the moment. Buffering can be down to many things such as your ISP, your internet speed or even your own pc. Until everyone has superfast broadband (and I'm talking the likes of which you can't even buy yet) then buffering is something we will have to live with.

 

Absolutely!
