I would happily pay £10 to ifollow if it was showing my team but I don't subscribe to Sky or BT Sport (and never will as neither offers what I am looking for).
You don't need to Foxy, you can definitely watch iFollow on your tablet, and I understand there are various ways of transferring this to a TV, but you probably need a modern smart TV with wi-fi capability to do it easily.
I've got a far too smart for its own good type TV and I'm still trying to work out how to do it :lol:

On the Watford Website under Q & A it says ...

Q. I don’t have a smartphone or device that’s able to download the Watford FC app. Can I still watch?

A. Yes, you will be able to access Hive Live using a laptop/PC via the Watford FC website. For the best viewing experience on a smart device, we recommend using the free club app (search ‘Watford FC’ in your app store).

I assume therefore that one could potentially load the appropriate Teams App into the TV :? as per Amazon and Prime etc and then to simply select it after making the payment ?

When you find out, and if successful, let me know the make and model as I might be in the market for a new TV.

I will if I do .... mine's a Samsung.

It's curved, full of unused apps and Internet ready etc. It thinks it can be taught to shut the windows and lock the doors :o it took me 50 years to teach Mobietta how to do that. Son No 2 operates his Central Heating in Manchester from Cambodia so it ought to be a doddle to watch t' Hornets from Darzet for goodness sakes :lol:

I'm surprised at that Moby as I can "transfer" the Zoom app from both my iPad and MacBook to my Smart tv quite easily via the Airplay and Handoff feature in the settings on both devices. What you then get is the same screen as on your mobile device on your tv screen so you can navigate the app through your device - can't believe I'm on the Footy thread :crazy: Probably not a great help to you but I thought I'd pass on my experience - my tv is a Samsung all singing all dancing model which is about a year old.

I can't keep track of you techy types using mysterious names, will have to await the return of son No 2 for a few pointers ;) Mac may be a simpler OS than Windows perhaps :?

ps .... a warm welcome to the footy Topic :wave:

Moby I googled how to transfer screen info from smart phone onto a TV, and there is quite a bit of data, bluetooth seems the likeliest for an android phone, but you need your TV to be bluetooth enabled, which it seems most new ones are.

Just to show that no one can watch the Derby vs Watford except those with, in this instance, SKY.

They will survive but ownership could shift to the Chinese, deposits will be honoured but the secured cruise price will not.

Is my OL tea leaf type prediction :eh:

Yes to a 95th minute equaliser, that must have been gutting.

Not really ... a draw was a decent enough result against the Cherries who are still a very strong team but they would have been down to nine men and given away a penalty if VAR had played a part at this level ... we have 14 points from 7 games and are sitting in third spot with seven more Prem League players yet to return from injury so no complaints at all from me.

We did a smash and grab raid on Arsenal. Rodgers got his tactics absolutely right against the Gooners. It wasn't very pretty but a good job considering we have Ricardo, Soyuncu and Ndidi out and Vardy and Maddison coming back from injury. We have done well to be where we are but looking forward to having a full strength team. The problem for Rodgers is who to drop as many have stood up to the plate.

You need to watch Watford. Take it from me they have a habit of scoring in the last minutes of the game. :cry:
