They might use Skysports but how many times have they been shut down? 2/3 times now? Thats why Plus1Hd use Nbc/Sportsnet less chance of being shut down, I used to use LOF guys to stream before Plus1Hd and its no were near reliable as Plus1Hd and they stream twice as much sport as LOF..
If i ever want to stream on my tv, just plug Hdmi from laptop to tv and there you have it.
How many different servers do Footyreport use? Plus1hd have about 10 different nodes to choose from per match..
Footy Report has been shut down twice (LiveOnlineFooty > BitScores > FootyReport/HD-Streaming), but it's been running for over 4 years now. Them being shut down has nothing to do with Sky, it's the Premier League. Plus1HD use Canadian TV channels because they're based in Canada, it's as simple as that. Both sites have as much chance of being shut down really, Footy Report has been running over a year now since it re opened, Plus1HD a little longer.
Footy Report has been reliable as fuck for ages, Plus1HD made a right mess of our streams in the second half of last season. Two times our streams were stopped at half time, I remember people flooding to the streaming thread on here. That being said I think they're probably about as reliable as each other.
I didn't say you couldn't plug your laptop into your TV, I was just stating the many options you get when you use Footy Report. The Android and iPhone apps are very useful for example.
As for the servers I wouldn't know, Footy Report is a more streamlined site, it obviously uses multiple servers but you don't get to select them.
Like I said on my original edit, they're both good.
