Streaming on 18:55 - Nov 20 with 1557 views | stevec | Understand the clubs situation but when unofficial streams can be better than the official streams, and cost a tenner less, then the clubs need to sort that issue out. Watched the Bournemouth game on official stream and I struggled to follow any fast flowing moves, the cross from Chair that eluded a couple of forwards was just a blur, had no clue where the ball ended up. |  | |  |
Streaming on 19:34 - Nov 20 with 1512 views | nix | Personally I think this is fair enough. £10 isn't an awful lot for a live performance that gives us so much to talk about. I know there have been a few blips but I've seen all the official streams this season and haven't had many problems. And I don't think the problems are always at their end, sometimes tech just fails. It's pretty much the only way the club can make any money at the moment until the government backs down on its stance of at times allowing people indoors in pubs but yet not outdoors at football. If we want the club to move forward, invest and indeed even survive, we've got to put something into it. It's not like Arsenal, Man U, Spurs etc where you think a lot of the cash is going into the directors pockets. We've all got to make our own decisions, but that's how I see it. |  | |  |
Streaming on 19:36 - Nov 20 with 1510 views | wood_hoop | I have a couple of time been tempted to put up streams. bit of a catch 22 for me though, don't want the club to lose revenue but for many supporters this virus has hit hard financially and I if could help only in very small way to see our games at no cost. As not to get Clive or site into trouble, will refrain from doing so |  | |  |

Well being a season ticket holder they already have my money it would be nice to have a stream that doesn't freeze towards the end of the match |  | |  |

Where to you think the pirate streams are getting theirs from? they dont smuggle their own cameras and infrastructure in. they capture the official stream and restream it. |  | |  |
Streaming on 22:21 - Nov 20 with 1357 views | Northernr | Yeh, look, we've all had a drink, we all know the score, but don't post illegal streams on here. I'll delete them when I see them. Steve the illegal streams are illegal streams of the same feed, so it's the same picture quality. There's no wonderful, secret, illegal, HD feed of Bournemouth 0-0 QPR.

Streaming on 22:22 - Nov 20 with 1350 views | CliveWilsonSaid | The only time I'm tempted to use a stream is when Sky are showing our match. I think we've had two matches on Sky so far. The first time I bought a day pass for Now TV and didn't like it. The second time I didn't bother. I actually felt bad about it and bought a load of merch from the QPR shop to compensate. I'm getting up early tomorrow to do a self organised walk from home thing ending at Loftus Rd. I've raised £50 from myself and close family that I'll be donating to QPR in the community trust. Then going home to pay £10 to QPR+. Bottom line is if the game is on QPR+ I'll happily pay. If it's not then I have to look elsewhere. I see that we've got a few games coming up on Sky. According to their website the Brentford game is on Sky Sports Football, Bristol City is on Sky Sports Football 🔴 and Millwall is on Sky Sports. I'd like to watch these matches but all I see is a bunch of confusing 'packages' none of which I want. |  |

Great summary of how I feel. I'd also add that the offy stream gives you London and Sinton who I think we're lucky to have. I can't speak highly enough of the commentary, the reliability and the quality. |  |

No sorry but if anyone feels like donating directly to the trust i'm sure they'd appreciate it. Cheers Clive. |  |

Streaming on 00:12 - Nov 21 with 1235 views | VancouverHoop | I'd like to be supportive, but as an overseas subscriber to QPR+ the number of matches that are blocked due to Sky and other unidentified license holders is getting beyond a joke. Watching the match elsewhere is not an option for us, nor do we get an equivalent reduction on our subscriptions when a game is withdrawn which, needless to say, went up this year. I don't want to watch third-party streams, for the reasons mentioned and also the potentiality for introducing malware on to my system. But the Football League is thinking more about it's own bottom line than it's customers by trying to bully them in this way. |  | |  |

Yeah, hold my hands up to you and Lytham, my keyboard was ahead of my brain and probably not for the first time. Was thinking and comparing the days of Adel rather than like for like streaming, getting home from places like Reading and watching top quality replays from Algerian TV and Brazilian style commentating but, again, different from club streaming so get the picture. Doesn’t alter the fact though that quality of club stream has distinct issues and doubt we’d pay a tenner a game and put up with it in any other situation than supporting our own team. Be interesting to know exactly how much profit the club make on streams, I’m guessing no more than a million a season. Not to be sniffed at but considering the Championships reluctance to embrace a wage cap you wonder if they’re getting the task of salvation arse end up. |  | |  |
Streaming on 08:54 - Nov 21 with 1060 views | daveB | Apart from the AFC Wimbledon friendly I've never had any issues with the stream, it's worked well for me. I do have moments in games where i can't work out if a shot went in or not fo a few seconds but thats the same when I go. |  | |  |

2/3 ain't bad as the song goes! On a more practical note feed "quality" is down to a number of factors:- Number and quality of cameras, skill of director and camera operators, technical quality of feed and whether the equipment/feed is HD or not. And as I've said before London/Sinton having no access to a monior for replays etc at most away games just makes their job a whole lot harder. |  | |  |
