ufc fight pass

Axwell

I use fight pass all the time, never any lag issues. The broadcast is slightly (maybe 10-20 seconds) behind the live tv broadcast so just stay off social media if you dont want to result spoiled the second it happens. It has variable bit rates anyways so you can run it at a lower quality if your connection is struggling.

Just a couple of quick questions about the PPV option if anyone could help.
1. Do you have to watch it live or can you start watching at, say, 4:30 and watch it from start to finish.
2. with the PPV option, do you have to suffer through 16 billion adds over the course of the 3 hours, that is something that is really putting me off getting a setanta sub and watching UFC 194 live.

You can start watching it after it has started if you wish. There is a button before you go into full screen mode titles "Live". If you click that it will you bring you to what is happening at that moment in time. Or you can watch the card back if you like

It cuts out and says something like "This event will be back shortly". So there's breaks but not ad breaks if you get what I mean.

Thanks for the clarification Mr Manager, that definitely gives me food for thought.

Sorry for coming back again but just wondering if i could start watching after the event has started and just skip through the "breaks" when they pop up?

Yeah, what happens when the card starts and you replay the fights is - a little bar shows up at the bottom of the screen (when not in full screen mode) and it has icons along the way which show you "moments of interest"; submission attempts, Round 1 start, flurries etc etc.

You click on the icon and it brings you to that particular part. It's actually a fantastic feature.

That sounds pretty sweet, thanks again Mr Manager.

Depends where you are. If you are abroad then you will be using internet in that country and your ip will be from there. If you are in a country where they arent allowed show them on fight pass (the uk for example as BT have the rights) then you wont be able to view it unless you can have your ip show as you being in ireland..obviously not allowed talk about such things here or how one might do that..

Answered before but yeah. They are usually available very shortly after the event was aired. You'll definitely be able to watch the two events before 194.

Like Mr Manager said basically your login determines access across all platforms.

You want to login to laptop fair enough,your friends gaff laptop fair enough etc but you can't be logged in simultaneously.

Not sure if this has been answered before but if I sign up to Fight Pass free trial can i watch the main event in Ireland?

I have signed up to Fight Pass and I am on the UFC 194 main event section of UFC.tv but I do not see any options to purchase the main event?

Is it a case if you sign up to Fight Pass that the main event is free to watch in Ireland?

https://www.ufc.tv/video/ufc-194

Axwell

Fight pass only gets you the prelims.

The main event is a PPV event..you need to buy it.

Are you based in ireland and on an irish ip address - if so then you should be seeing the option to purchase the event on that screen.

Alright lads? I'm signed up to ufc.tv and clicked on UFC194 where it says €17.99 gets me the HD version. Happy days. Then up pops a request for $79 bucks! I'm in Ireland with an Eircom IP address, but it looks like BT are getting their greedy mits on Irish viewers too. Now I'm watching this on an Amazon fire stick, does that make a difference?

Is the 79 quid not the 12 month subscription?

No Richard, it's €7.99 / month with the first 7 days free. You submit your CC / PayPal details and you're in. I'm already able to watch TUF episodes and other free content so it's happy that I have a fight pass.

Axwell

You are talking about 2 separate things. Fight pass is not the same as ufc.tv - also it has nothing to do with BT.

Fight pass is 7.99 per month as you say. But this has nothing to do with the purchase of the event on ufc.tv you can buy that completely separate and they operate independently.

Most likely it is you are viewing it through the amazon fire and your being seen as being in America when trying to make the purcahse which would be the higher price. Have you looked at the site through your laptop to see if it shows up at the regular price on their? (which i imagine it will)

Richard tea

Ok im a little worried now.

First off I paid the €17.99 for the main event which I think is fine for now.
I signed up to fight pass at €5.99 a month for 12 months. This €71.88 payment went through my paypal. I just checked my paypal now and it says the seller has cancelled the subscription??? Yet in fight pass it all looks fine and says next billing date is the 14th of dec. Is this standard ?

Axwell

Look in paypal and you should have an auto renewal subscription payment for fight pass - coming out every month at 7.99 as oppose to a one off payment. If thats there then its grand, they dont take the money all at once you just agree to a subscription with them at that rate. You can cancel it at any time. Its just if you go for 3 or 6 months its at a different price. Or you can buy a years subscription at 5.99 for the 12 months but they take the full amount out.

Edit: Sorry should clarify as what I wrote doesnt make complete sense. You either pay up front (the full amount) and get it at a reduced cost of 5.99 a month and commit to the 12 months or you pay it every month at 7.99 which is per month but obviously costs you slightly more in the end.

Also as mentioned below it would depend if you signed up for the 7 day trial or not first as oppose to the subscription. If thats the case then you have the trial for 7 days and payment for the full amount hasnt come out but will unless you cancel before then. If you dont then the full amount will come out as you seem to have signed up for the 12 month commitment at 5.99 as oppose to the month by month one at 7.99

Fair enough. The amazon fire is linked to my account, which is right here is Eire, so I don't see how they would think I'm stateside. Sounds like what is happening though. I'll try a DNS changer / location blocker and see what happens. Cheers

Is this not because they are giving you a 7 day free trial, and the payment won't come out until next week?
