saltire266 502 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Have been watching the games live on RTV since I went to work in the Middle East years ago but wondered in this day and age with talk of 4k etc why the games aren't streamed in HD yet.Is it the cost of the servers or cameras that we need. I wouldn't mind paying a tenner per match if the stream was upgraded, time to move forward like the rest of the clubSorry if this in the wrong placeAll the best Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.12 508 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 It's more to do with network speeds I'd imagine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanhentze 14,073 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 The quality of stream isnt really the problem, in my opinion. I just wish that they developed a few more platforms for it.. Id love to use my ChromeCast and watch it on my TV through my iphone or ipad, like I do with my Netflix or HBOgo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 To be honest, in the days of proxy add-ons in your browser, it probably would be a bit of a financial disaster to make the RTV streams too appealing.£400 a season ticket, or £60 for a HD stream right onto your big screen telly at home which you could have multiple folk watching.Easy way to reduce your income.

kelvd1873 7,131 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 Question lads,,,, anyone know if it's possible to watch RangersTv through a playstation 4 web browser?

MuirhouseBear 291 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm sure someone asked if the streams were in HD and one of the digital guys on twitter said not yet. Also said they're looking into getting rid of flash, and adding a scoreboard etc. Hopefully these improvements happen as I'm sure a lot more would subscribe.

I use my phone to cast (chromecast) everything on to my telly, which works very well. If there was an app from Rangers TV then this would be possible.

As I said above.. My ChromeCast (wireless hdmi) works very well and this is how Id like to do it.. My Netflix/HBO/Viaplay (live football is streamed in HD perfectly) is all streamed this way. Get an app made for Rangers TV and we are in business!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Wilmot's Wedding Brek 299 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Is the unlimited package the only one that works for people overseas? I was going to get it but can't you just cast the tab to your telly, or run an hdmi cable to it from the laptop? Don't mind watching it on the laptop but tv is obviously better.
