Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Hi Is anyone using the BeIn Sports Connect app? I'm going to give it a try this weekend but wondering if anyone using it has any feedback? Prices seem very reasonable: https://connect-th.beinsports.com/en/subscribe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bkkmick Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yep, I tried it once. THB49 for a days football coverage. It didn't stream perfectly, but it did quite a good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jai Dee Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 It would be interesting to see what kind of resolution they provide. Although they say HD they also talk about iOS and Android so I suspect that the mobile/tablet market is what they are targetting. I wonder what you'd get on a large screen TV? They also specify a minimum connection speed of 10 Mbps... (to download from where I wonder?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lite Beer Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) I use it on my Android Box. Watch on large screen TV. Works well and has catch up. Not perfect as it is a little jerky. It only cost a couple of hundred baht a month so why not try it? Not much to lose if no good. I think it works better using Chrome browser than it does on the Android app. Edited September 7, 2017 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caiman Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Very poor live streaming on my Android boxes and received this response from Bein Connect: "We are currently do not support casting for Android Box ,it will definitely be in our developing plan for the future. We would recommend watch via on behalf website"Catch-up plays well but can take a while to become available! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 8, 2017 Author Share Posted September 8, 2017 Yes, it's only a few hundred baht, I'm going to try it. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Yes, I used it last night to watch the City v Liverpool game and will watch yesterday's other games on catch up today. The quality was good, no buffering or delays, very affordable and easy to setup - no problems setting up my account or logging in. A thumbs up from me.

worgeordie Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 After umpteen attempts to open an account,finally did it,clicking cars and roads to prove i am not a robot.so invested 99 Thb,for a week, first attempt to play ,nothing happen, message on screen about DRM: Failed to create and initialize a MediaKeys object, ???? sent them email.it finally started to play, the action and commentary do not synch, and the movements are sticky, that's on Windows 10,so tried it on Android,no better. I am supposed to be on 100/20 tot fibre,so pleased i only wasted 99 Thb,i watched City Vs Liverpool last night on a free android app, the picture just as good,no buffering, much better than Bein. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuket Man Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 BeIN Connect is great. Works well and food value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worgeordie Posted September 11, 2017 Share Posted September 11, 2017 It was working not too bad last night ,watching Swansea Vs Toon, the only time it buffered,was when the goal was scored !.for 99 THB a month it looks to be a bargain,dont know why it needs to buffer,is the server not in Thailand ? regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nbm47 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Could you please tell me how you managed to pay for theBein account cos I've tried loads of times with credit/debit cards all of which say server error. I emailed them about this, their reply was it has to be a Thai Bank card, no problem tried my Kasikorn card, same result. Then thought about the True Walletvwhich even if you can read thai requires a Thai ID card no (passport no good), so I am stuck as don't see any other avenue unless you can get the gf or mrs to sign up for you. Informed Bein to get international credit cards etc on their system to faciltate foreigners. Watch this space, a long time no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phuket Man Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 The Kasikorn virtual debit card should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonathan Fairfield Posted September 14, 2017 Author Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yes, i used my Kasikorn card to pay for it. I've been watching catch up all week. Had a bit of buffering last night but not so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbob Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I signed up last night on a one-day trial so I could watch Leicester vs Liverpool. The quality was pretty good during the first half... no buffering whatsoever. I did get a grey screen once though, but a quick screen refresh fixed it. Unfortunately I missed almost 15 minutes of the start of the second half. I got another grey screen, but this time with the message "License Error - Max Impressions reached" - I've no clue what this means. After trying quite a few things in the end I restarted my computer and it worked fine afterwards. So, not perfect by any means. But despite the above I'm willing to give it another go. I just hope the issue I had will not be a regular thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
