Man City TV Launched

After being all excited and giddy at being able to get the app on my Samsung TV, I've binned it, it just doesn't work always having to pair it with the TV and constantly being told I need to reboot my router.
It's so so poor, a club with our finances and growing fan base and they serve this crap up. I think they just couldn't care less.

Man of your means, get yourself a firestick, just watching City women, 1-1 conceded on a poor back-pass.

I really don't think that the owners or senior management at the club have any idea how poor this services is, It really needs highlighting, I remember some years back we were winning awards for our website content. Not any more.

It's really gone backwards from the days of live reserve games at Hyde Utd on the clubs YouTube channel. When you think we have the Women, EDS and U18 sides plus high lights from games, surely we most have enough football for a half decent channel ?

City really need to get shit like this sorted out , not sure why we have so many issues of this type .

It's amateurish for a club of our size .

Very amateurish indeed!

I tried the app for the first month and it was pitifully bad.
So, in August I followed the cancellation protocol, to the letter, and also instructed that they should take my personal data off their systems because it's not good for businesses to needlessly hold your banking details.

Anyhow, I recently went through my bank statements, as preparation for my annual tax return, and I found that they had ignored my cancellation instruction and also my request under the Data Protection Act to delete my confidential information as they had continued to take / steal payments from my bank account.

I emailed them with a copy of my original cancellation instructions and asked that they repay the stolen money and act on my original request.
They didn't bother to reply so I had to call supporter services, wait in a queue for ages and then have an argument with them because they didn't want to pay back the stolen money, despite accepting that I'd cancelled months ago.
They wouldn't even give me a copy of their complaints procedure so now I'm taking the matter to the Ombudsman.

I know that they're absolutely useless but when they make a mess of something and take money that they have no right to take, why do they need to make you fight tooth and nail to get it back off them?
All it does is signal large that they're not just absolutely useless but also absolute turds.

The 4k firestick is great mate, have it for my own IPTV.

I know some of the lads say the latest fire TV cube is on a different level though.

More expensive, but also has ethenet option.

4k stick is great for HDMI2

Cheers Tolm,order going in.

I have an LG and its been playing up a bit on the app,so fingers crossed this will sort it.
 
I’ve said this many times, but the content is substandard, to say the least.

Going off what the club put out to us and the world, you would think we were formed on Sunday 13th May 2012 at about 13:30. This app has nothing of our 118 years before that day.

This app could be brilliant. But there’s nothing really interesting on it and nothin at all about the history the club.

Our formation as a club; biography documentaries on our legends, Hall of Famers and beyond; trophy winning teams of 1904 34 37 56 68 69 70 76 or 2011; interesting stories about the club; interesting videos about the fans...

That brilliant Fight ’Til The End documentary was great but there should be a regular series of documentaries running through from 1894-present. They don’t even have to be expensively produced with fancy camera shots and graphics, but you could get a good hour documentary on this: http://www.manchesterorange.co.uk/History/st-marks-church-manchester-city-orange-order

...then the next one could focus on the Mercer-Allison years, then one on the topic of a really interesting talk I went to with Gary James on how Manchester became a football-mad city with City winning the 1904 FA Cup, then up to the whole story around Wardle-Thaksin-Sheikh ownership, then back to the era of Eric Brook and the Wilf Wild years, then up to the Royle and Keegan promotion years, documentaries about the stadiums we’ve played in, records we hold...

For the fee we should have All Or Nothing and Bluemoon Rising on there to watch when we want.

This would all have been great to watch during this pandemic, with no football to go to the club could have really kept our interest going... but, alas, there’s been nowt!

Anyone who gets this app can finish watching anything interesting in one evening and then all you’re doing is paying £1.99 a month to watch goals, highlights or full games.

Let’s say 100,000 people have this app worldwide, the club are earning nearly £2.4m a year to show us stuff we can mostly get on the normal website and the other stuff elsewhere online.

You can use Ethernet on your firestick too mate
 
I thought it was shit from day one and made my thoughts clear here and to City. It seems it hasn't improved.
Like the old movie dogs, I think it should be taken round the back and shot!
