Virgin Media Sofa Stadium online experience
 

Just saw this video, it's an online experience thing where you can vote along with your avatar about the match you're watching... I can't really explain it, you'll have to watch the video.

Its certainly an interesting take on football viewing and interaction, personall I tend to watch football while on the PC/Laptop at the weekend so in theory it should be something that appeals to me... but alas.

I tried the service during the opening game of the prem season, Man City/Spurs and it was quite underwhelming. I like what they are trying to achieve with this service but I feel it just fails to deliver. The biggest problem at the moment is the lack of users, after 60 minutes of the opening game there was 25 people taking part and the lack of any conversation made the chat area quite eery!

Over tiem I think this could amture into something quite special, but for now its a flash in the pan and may vanish altogether before the end of the season if lack of interest prevails.

Any one else had a chance to use this?

It really is poor. A grand total of 3 users on at the moment.
