Indian Premier League - General Discussion

[AliB]

So you stream the games on broadband (not cellular data), right? Then that sounds fine.

P.s: Just curious - what is the FUP data cap for Reliance Jio broadband?

It hasn't been public yet, I have a local broadband at 2Mbps(more than enough to stream at 1080p as of my exp.) and truly unlimited data for 3500/year.

Did they even telecast the auction this year? I thought Hotstar did that this year. I did not follow the auction on Willow. When it comes to live streaming of actual games, they have been fantastic, if you have a stable and fast internet connection (which is so common here in the USA, fortunately)

Yes they did stream the auction this year. Every 2 minutes the stream went off. I actually think the competition to Willow of having Hotstar is bad. Willow has been fantastic even with its pricing, I hope the quality does not decline in the process of gaining market.

On par with the 1st one which had Shane Warne as the only foreign skipper although VVS laxman opted out after 1st few games and Sachin missed the first half to have Pollock incharge of MI.

SRH's jersey looks fab. I think they have changed it from last year and added that gray tone. Almost all the jerseys look good here, but my favorites (Top 3) are KXIP, CSK and SRH.

No Harsha.

 

[Bigby Wolf]

No Harsha.

He is on the commentary panel but won't be working in studios for Star but would rather do a cribuzz live alongside Zak ,Simon Doull and Michael Vaughan.

I was mistaken, I thought this is rather the commentary panel. I'm opting for hotstar, so it'd would be a great experience, completely new experience - Cricbuzz analysis + hotstar; completely digital. Every year it was a fight with my siblings for TV , no more!
