Rugby on Stan
-
So first real fuck up on Stan.
Watching Blues v Rebs very slightly delayed.
69:30 in scrum to I think Blues ...
Screen corrupts and all of a sudden we're looking at 79:something and Akira smiling like a Cheshire cat running back obviously having just scored.
Replay plays (and note to the comms ... Sam Nock bears to fucking resemblance to Sam Darry! ...) and then that stops as the action nearing the line.
"Rewind" ... again ... and again... and again...
Same prob each time.
Obviously the feed is corrupted. Too much hassle to try and watch the remaining 10 mins when 45 points up and gave up.
Not good Stan.
Other Stan issues ... Have had issues with Stan deciding to stop showing the delayed coverage when I'm watching a few minutes behind which seems to coincide with the end if the live feed. Just stops the feed I'm watching which may be some minutes behind. Definitely seems to coincide with the end of the live feed but stops what I'm watching and I have to re start the feed in 'watch from start', with random fat finger to find where I was at ... ,)
BTW have I mentioned the lack of a fast forward button?

Anyone else's Stan shit the bed tonight?
I currently have no sound.
I have no stream.
You lost your stream completely? Fuck.
Not sure whats happening tonight, I've never had any issues with Stan Sport. Just sent them a tech support complaint/request.
So did I. They sent me an email promising to get in touch within 15mins. That's clearly a lie.

@antipodean Click on the team logo and you will find it there, but like Siam said, a lot of it is missing.

Heard from a few mates the blues and chiefs games were both glitchy/fucked
I was dipping in and out so didn’t notice

I lost the Blues feed completely with 10 to go (at a mates place).
First half of the Chiefs was fine for me at home, then froze, lost audio for 20 odd minutes, then lost feed for last 20.

I hope these fuckers don't get the AB games. My head will explode if the feed is as bad.

@mariner4life mate, it ain't too bad.
Now, obviously I'm a lonely old curmudgeon wallowing in solitude 24/7 ( what's that? you haven't noticed? Nice of you to say) and the trick I've found with stan is to ignore any live games that you want, use their full replay and become expert at the 10 second forward button.If proficient you can take in all the action in less than half the time, focus on the actual rugby, skull beers and totally eliminate the commentary because their sentences don't finish.
Here's the formula:
Every scrum whistle is at least 3 pushes of the "button". Reset, 3 more.
Lineouts 2 Max- you can get caught out from quick lineout assemblies, but not boks and lions!
Conversions about 4-5 pushes
Penalty kicks for touch, 2
Restarts only 1 - about the only thing they do efficiently is jog 50 metres in 10 seconds
Injury breaks, as many as needed - don't be shy, they fuck around something awful
Obviously no half time.It's amazing and also satisfying on your time budget how much non rugby is played over 2 hours
Yes, I know that's all sad but at least I'm using my miserable life to try and help others🙂
You're welcome pal😉
