I went to the 'download the app' page on my laptop, but Install is greyed out. Daresay it'd work on my mobe, but what's the use of that? Why they have to mess around with these apps I don't know. Wouldn't it be simpler to live-stream it on FB or Youtube?

Like I said, Josie, Install is greyed out, so I never got that far.

What a stupid, bone-headed system this is! I imagine only a fraction of their target audience will actually get to see the game now.

Can you watch the stream later, or can you only watch live? You can cast to your tv from your phone btw. That mit is working for me.
