Margaritaville TV

To be honest with my busy life lately, I haven't really had much time to explore the "new" Margaritaville TV. A couple of questions....

1. Is it still a free service for anyone to view live concerts and archived video footage?

2. Are live concerts immediately archived and available for viewing as soon as the concert is over? If so, how long are they available for viewing?

3. Has anyone been able to successfully stream a live concert form Margaritaville TV over their home TV without Apple TV?

Thanks! I can't wait for Wednesday's show! Fins up! /) /) /)

I have used "Chromecast" and the Chrome browser to stream Margaritaville TV
(and any other content I can bring up over the Chrome browser)
over my Wi-Fi to my TV.
$35 for a Chromecast. All you need is W-Fi and a USB port on your smart TV.

As far as the question "Is it still a free service?" ... it still is for now,
but I imagine down the road they are looking into a pay-for-view option
or possibly a monthly subscription option ... but not yet.

The content Margaritaville TV choose to archive for later viewing
isn't consistent. Sometimes they do make shows available again in reruns,
sometimes they don't. Mostly it seems they are putting up
one-of-a-kind videos featuring Jimmy surfing/sailing/flying etc.,
still pretty cool to watch.

Not so much full length concerts, except for the live broadcasts.

Ok - thanks! Sounds like if I want to watch the Key West concert on Wednesday, I'll have to be at my computer to watch it live.

Margaritaville TV offers weekly concert replays which are posted every almost every Friday, the current replay show is Jimmy's 1994 Nashville show

There are many individual live songs taken from many different live shows over the years as well video from backstage at many of last year's shows

According to recent information released by Margaritaville TV, they will be available on Roku very soon.

As for archiving the live shows we have a member here at Buffettnews that posts the show videos in the concert trading forum for downloading

I sure wish Margaritaville TV was streamed on YouTube. Then it would be easy to watch on TV.

I thought I could stream anything on my iphone with all connect app and amazon Firestick, but NOT YET.

I may have to purchase Apple TV yet tomorrow.

The live shows are not available for viewing after the live shows. They don't do an instant replay like RM or keep the stream available very long after the show ends. So yes, your best bet is to watch it live.

It should also be available on Apple TV soon as well.

There are "beta" instructions for Roku, Apple, & Chrome at the top of the m'ville tv live site (didn't see anything for Fire).
