Red Button Midweek Matches

Now that Now TV has upgraded all (certainly most) of its devices to just NOW, it looks like it is possible to get the red button midweek matches through a sports pass subscription with them.

I had to swap my Roku box for one of their smart sticks previously, but now it works through Roku box as well.

Just scroll to the bottom of the home (first page) and look for bonus streams. Hope this proves useful for some people as NOW seems a lot cheaper than satellite and much easier to just dip in and out. There is golf on there at the moment -the red button coverage is just one camera though with no replays, so the clubs own ifollow offering is better (and hopefully soon the live experience will be better still!)
 
I think that may have been the case for a while (not sure if related to Covid broadcast rights?)

Noticed it in earlier in the season when I had a subscription. What we really need is HD for the midweek games - always puzzled me as to why it's SD in 2021.

It was only available on some devices from earlier this season, but it now looks like all devices might have the red button. Certainly my Roku box has only recently got it, where as my smart stick had it before Christmas.

Thanks, I failed to get the last "red button" match on my Roku stick and paid for the iFollow stream.

Q. Is it possible to see whether the game is on before it starts? Or does the stream only appear once it starts?
 
The lack of replays on red button is annoying, at least the commentator on the Preston game acknowledged we can't see the replays, sometimes the comms talk as if we can see replays.

Me and my Dad were talking about the same thing reference the Preston game.

I thought the single commentator was excellent (no idea who he was) and I really appreciated the fact that he talked about what he could see in the replays whilst acknowledging that we couldn't see them at home.

This was especially useful with regards to the red card as I had no clue what had happened.

Yes certainly on the day of the match, when you scroll down it will have games and say something like stream starts at 6:55pm (for 7pm ko)
