Assuming you are in the county then you will receive BBC Radio Devon's sports coverage each match day. They will cover all Argyle League, LC and FAC matches and if you are in the Plymouth area, all commentaries will be on live on 95.7FM. Elsewhere in the county and on county wide frequencies including DAB you will get their featured match which may not always be Argyle.

So I have paid up annual membership of iplayer which runs out in January, does anyone know if that's transferred to ifollow?

So that's different from last season then? Here in Exmouth I think only once I had a problem listening to an away match.

Mine, which runs out in September, has been, in theory, although the first "live" game of the season will be the real test.

:? I have always been able to listen to radio Devon for argyle away games via iplayera and the radio. Also 720 on the tv!

I am still being debited for the privilege of Ifollow(I player)

Can I assume then that there is really no change for listening to Radio Devon commentaries?

All this is very confusing...Mind you I am 76! :?

For someone who has NOT followed this topic on here.

1st mistake ?

Listening to Argyle Player/Argyle World for the last 4 years in China via Radio Devon has been OK but we have "had our moments" !

Now, I am about to return and chosen the iFollow monthly option at £4.49 ?

Completing the payment details yesterday, I received a message on screen that I had already joined !!

How strange was that ?

I have emailed their Support Department and I await the reply.

I will keep a careful eye on this new provider starting next week ?

Will broadcast on here - if relevant ?

Keep the Faith :scarf:

So as I understand this post, the live commentary exclusivity through Argyle Player/i-Player etc. has now completely gone? Last year, admittedly via my laptop and sitting in Hampshire, I could only listen to live Radio Devon commentary of FA Cup games.

still confused!!

As I understand it :
Radio Devon will broadcast live Radio commentary for the Plymouth region (as before)
iFollow will broadcast the live commentary (presumably the Radio Devon feed) for all subscribers (as per Argyle Player before)
iFollow will broadcast the live video stream for overseas subscribers

So as far as commentary is concerned, everything should be as before...

How is the " Plymouth region" defined?

I'd have thought you'd have taken advantage of the live video streaming available to overseas subscribers.

I think it's the broadcast on 97.5 FM from the local Plymouth transmitter. So if you're in range, you can get it. Similarly for over the air DAB. Although I stand to be corrected by someone with first hand experience ...

BBC Radio Devon's DAB output is now county wide and Argyle games will only be on this platform when Argyle are the featured match. When they aren't the featured match, the commentary will be on 95.7FM in the Plymouth broadcast area, as it will be for every match.
