I've been using the Apple TV + service a bit , I'm not sure currently I'd pay £4.99 for it but it has some good shows and the picture quality is excellent.

Purely because I want to watch the Autumn Cup Rugby Internationals, I purchased a roku box and have taken up the free 30 day Amazon Prime offer.

I may well keep Prime for an extra month to watch the 2 exclusive rounds of EPL in December (didn't bother with them last season).

Can anyone please tell me -

If I want to watch England v Georgia tomorrow, do I have to watch it live or can I start the streaming a few hours later and watch the whole game as live?

Keep a eye out as towards Black Friday prime tends to go for £49 for the year.

Thanks for the heads up - as I have already started my trial, not sure if I would be able to get that offer?

Also at present Prime has things I want to watch in the next 2 months, however currently nothing for the next 10 months so an annual sub would be a waste.

I am sure OB will tell me they will have rights to lots of sport in the coming year but I doubt it at present.

Yeah you'd get it i think i got the prime day one last year £59 and i had a trial in the past too.

They do have a lot of content tbf i find prime a bit better than Netflix for included movies but netflix better for included shows.

Possibly, but then I don't watch Netflix or films - only got Prime for the Autumn Rugby - didn't even bother with it last year for the 2 December round of EPL.

I really have no idea whether Amazon will be involved, mate. Who told you that?

The problem you have here, jfman, is that my message has remained the same after all this time.

I'm not sure what point you are making here. Clearly, something is confusing you, but I can't make out what it is. Could you explain yourself a little more clearly, please.

What is this question you want me to answer? I was unaware that you were waiting anything from me.

You are the one who keeps telling us Amazon will be winning EPL rights at the next round of bidding (or the next, or the next).

My first experience of streaming was not a great experience - watched 2 rugby internationals this afternoon - the picture quality was nowhere near HD standard (even my wife commented on the poor PQ) and the action didn't seem to flow as well as it does on Sky/BT.

I have yet to discover the answer to a question I have - can I watch these live matches any time in their entirety or only when they are actually live?

The matches are available in their entirety via vod.
