Frankie 8,562 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Good news. Hopefully a precursor to (a better) RangersTV being re-launched in full... 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 I hope that any overseas fan can upgrade for the "unlimited" portion for just an additional $50. The live match subscription was $250 so that should be given as credit for anyone looking to supplement it with this new feature. FWIW, the quality of streaming for the games this season has been FAR SUPERIOR to what was on offer in previous seasons. For the live matches there is about 10 mins of a preview (incl interviews with WS and the players in the studio), the match and I think there might be some post match interviews as well. For the OF game they had Broadfoot and Edu doing the in-studio analysis. The picture is very crisp and clear. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
