June 2, 2016 JoanB Comments 0 Comment

When Sky Sports News app for IPad was launched in 2012, it almost immediately had more than half a million downloads It is known that sports fans can be very picky when watching sports programs. For example, if you can’t see the ball bounce properly when watching a tennis match, you might as well give up. But can you achieve that quality on a mobile phone or iPad if HD streaming is not available? Also besides the fact that downloading of the application is free, what else did attract the viewers, they still have to pay a certain subscription price?

First of all, with the app you can not only access dedicated home pages for all the major sports, not only those that Sky sport covers live, but also all the others, and those include everything from football to Formula 1, even what some might consider exotic sports. The coverage includes the latest news, fixtures, results, standings and all other relevant facts.

Secondly, the app offers direct streaming of all major Sky Sports channels, and these are Sky Sports Channels 1-4 as well as well as Sky Sports News and the Sky news itself. You can also access the programing for these channels.

So how does the streaming look on the iPad screen. There the opinions differ. Some reviewers say that the picture quality is very good, some customers stating that the quality of the picture is at least 75% of the quality on the big screen TV. Others beg to differ, saying this is particularly so if you enlarge the picture to full screen. The attribute this to the lack of HD quality. The features that there are no quibbles about include the possibility to pause the stream and the 30 seconds rewind capability, something that every true sports fan appreciates, whether they might have missed something, or if there is moment they want to enjoy again.

Of course, the capability to watch your favorite team or sportsmen on a full train home has its costs. If you are already a Sky Sports subscriber, the basic subscription price of £4.99, and £4.99, and £9.99, for additional packs 1 and 2 respectively might seem quite reasonable. But, if you are not, paying £35 a month might be a bit too steep.

So what could be the verdict? If you are a Sky Sports subscriber, it would mean that you are a dedicated sports fan who does not want to miss that crucial game, or any other game for that matter, this is something to have handy if you are not in a position to watch it on a high quality TV receiver. If not maybe you should steer clear.

Home projection systems have become somewhat popular recently especially as the ability to produce high resolution and 3D images continues to improve.

If this is your plan it’s important to consider the possibility of rain and how you intend to protect your projector with the most obvious solution being a outdoor enclosure which can be purchased from a company like proencltd.com

In order to project successfully outdoors it’s important you select the right projector for the job. In this review post we take a look at the very best outdoor projectors available in 2016.

A Sony VPLHW40ES 1080p 3D SXRD Home Theater Gaming Projector

Sony has developed a reputation for producing some of the best high-end electronics in pretty much every market.

The Sony projector on this list is no different. However, we should begin with a word of warning: if you are looking for an outdoor projector that can produce drive-in cinema size experiences, you may want to keep looking.

Panasonic PTAE8000U 1080p Full HD Projector

Panasonic has a storied past with an excellent reputation for producing high-end electronics. In fact, one of the basic differences among the two projectors, and the reason for Sony taking the lead spot boils below to Sony’s LCOS chip whereas the Panasonic relies on an LCD projection system. Indifferent, the Panasonic still does so many things finer than the Sony regarding fundamental qualities that determine the effectiveness of an outdoor projector that you may end up going with this one.

Optoma EH500 1080p 4700 Lumens 3D DLP Network Projector with HDMI

Bronze Pick is the Optoma which provides even more options for strictly outdoor projection use but is somewhat limited in regards to the finer details, nuances, and bells and whistles that you might expect.

ViewSonic PJD5155 LightStream SVGA Home Entertainment Projector

The trace from our top three options to our budget option is fairly steep: both in price and quality, but you can still get a capable outdoor projector for a price many people can afford.

Outdoor projection systems are all about weighing your options and finding the fair setup for your needs. Whereas other projection systems are easier to contrast due to similar settings, outdoor projectors require a solid understanding of the environment in which they are intended to be used.
