    About 30 minutes after the final whistle games are available to stream in HD. German language commentary only.

    Some things are in english, but I only watch the German language stuff.

    Right now I can watch:
    Pregame analysis for the match vs Hoffenheim
    Special on the Meisterschaft celebrations after the win against Berlin
    Press conference w/Guardiola about Hoffenheim match
    Highlights of classic matches between Bayern and Hoffenheim
    Full video of the Title celebrations in Berlin from Tuesday
    Player interviews from after the Hertha match
    Both halves of the Hertha match in HD
    Highlights of the hertha match
    Highlights of the latest FCBII Matches
    etc...


    It's like this every week. Massive amounts of content for every BL, CL, and DfB Pokal match as well as every friendly.

    Yea from I hear it's one of the best content providers of any clubs in the world.

    How much do you watch live compared to replays on FCB.tv?

    Ah nevermind I was hoping for live. Maybe I'll get Sky online showing for next season if that works.

    The only thing I watch live is CL on foxsoccer2go.com or fox soccer. I canceled my subscription to the Spanish package for cable when I got FCB.TV so I wouldn't have to watch on gol TV anymore.

    The only company with rights to show live bundesliga in the us is gold TV, and in a couple of years it will be fox. You won't be able to use that sky service without going through a German proxy server.

    I think my cousin had sky for TV and his friend over in Utah would use his Sky stream. I thought it worked for him but I'll ask again.

    You can watch on mobile or PC, but it takes very little effort to just plug an HDMI cable into your laptop and TV to watch it on TV.

    So basically if you guys had the choice between GolTV and FCB.tv you'd pick the latter every time, even if the games aren't streamed live. Interesting.

    Yes. FCB.TV has several advantages over gol. Better production quality (sound, picture, etc.), no commercials, German language commentary, post match celebrations are televized, etc.

    I don't have GolTV but even when I did, the coverage was crap. I wish there was a way to get the German service live. I need to find out exactly what my cousin does with his friend in the US and if it still works.

    Is that a challenge? It sounds like a challenge. I honslty only watch bayern and the cl. Fox2go will stream that and fcb.tv will cover the bundesliga. Tv shows and movie l have a different source for that

    Would you guys be more inclined to pay for the service (even in German but HD) if you could watch it live?

    I would think the production value and all the extras already gives it a bigger advantage.

    Well for me the benefits are:

    -Watching live
    -Legal stream, therefore reliable
    -HD quality

    Don't care about the other things, though I really prefer watching the games in German since I prefer the commentary and don't need to hear Toni Cruz or Bastian Schwanschtager.

    Yea it seems the language of the commentary is something everyone seems to be split on.

    I think if the production is good, the stream is live and the feed in HD the language is largely irrelevant anyways, no?
