I wouldn't know as being a Mac user I haven't seen any video footage from world. I have a really old piece of shit machine running Windows that I bought for £20 just so I can listen to the live match feed on a match day if I happened to be working that Saturday, but seeing as it took over 30 mins to boot up (I'm not exaggerating) I never even attempted to watch videos on it.

I'm a complete technical incompetent and have never managed to get a picture in Mozilla Firefox. The sound's there, but no vision. It's fine in Internet Explorer. Hopefully it'll be fine in both when this gets updated.

It will be fine because it's using flash, rather than a broken windows media embedded video, it'll be like watching videos on youtube.

Only a waste of money if you have some other amazing way of listening to a game when you're working on a Saturday, Reading are playing away and you have no time to take off or the funds to travel away, and you don't work more that 15 miles outside of Berkshire...

Plus it's not actually a lot of money, for all the video clips that they show (not just present games but historically too). Although I obviously can't comment on the quality of these videos... Until the end of this month...

I canceled mine towards the end of last season the match highlights were really poor, Blackpool away for example just showed the goals which you could see on any tv station. They stopped showing reserve games altogether, and the so called exclusive interviews were no different to the ones you get on Sky or local tv.

My main point was, it's the only way I can listen to games when I'm at work. I have recently downloaded WunderRadio for my iPhone and have Reading 107 on there, but I assume it won't work for live match commentary...
