I'm not happy about having to get itvn just to watch LFC matches either...especially considering the performance during the last few matches.
After a great first experience watching the Spurs match, I was completely unable to watch the Bolton match due to constant buffering. This past weekend, I was able to watch most of the Blackburn match (on the lowest setting), but then it froze with about 3 minutes to go and I could not get it back up and running.
I spoke to Tech support, and apparently they are having problems with some of their east coast customers - something about their CDN provider and cross-country latency...and of course my 30-day trial is up. They say that a fix will be in place "within 60-90 days".
I'm still seriously pissed off at FSC, but at least there's a way to (sort of) watch the games (sometimes)...
