Gavjyoung Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Hi Folks, Currently sat in my hotel room in Paris trying to get this dam thing to work. I'm registered in the UK (but not subscribed). All I want to do is subscribe for the international month pass so I can watch the game. I've even tried signing up under a different email (and put my address down as Paris!). But I still dont see the option for international monthly. I've even tried to send a "gift" of 1 months international hearts TV to myself and the email doesnt seem to have come through! Anyone had a similar issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check your spam folder on your emails bud. also give it 5-10 Mins from when you tried it. if not try the “contact us” option on hearts tv and they should reply fairly sharpish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted October 23, 2018 Share Posted October 23, 2018 Got a few glitches after the third goal but afterwards was good. Can't blame Hearts TV for this time as we were getting the Dee TV feed. Every time we get another club's commentator it makes you realize how much Andrew, Jimmy and Laurie add to the Hearts TV experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I It is dependent on the browser you are using I could lower mine on Firefox all the way down to 200, Settled at a happy medium of 750p, there was also an audio option, which I think was on both, FF and Chrome.

DesertDawg Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 This issue is a bit strange since the stream supplier fixes the resolution options. Since I Chromecast to my TV, I used Google Chrome for yesterday's game and only had the auto, 1800 and 2500 options too but got an excellent picture on the auto setting. Needs a bit more research but I'd guess that the centrepoint is the use of a different embedded video compiler in the stream from the one used by Hearts TV.

I never got back to you about my connection DD, No wire mesh, however lots of ceramic tiles - So ran the cable outside the building and works well. I still have issues with Chrome and FF at times, HeartsTV connects with googleapis, which means I need to log into HeartsTV with the vpn on, get to the match page then drop my VPN to get full speed. Most of the terminology goes over my head, but I have been trying to educate myself on it. Your tips have been excellent and are much appreciated, by myself and I'm sure many others. This was the reply I got from Hearts in 2015 about this. First off thank for your email. Unfortunately as your aware we have no control over what content is received in China and therefore pretty limited on what we can do. "We at SportsMediaGB who run HeartsTV on behalf of the club provide similar services for other Scottish clubs that all experience similar issues. At this time we require the Google API that is pulled for analytics to monitor traffic like many other websites. We would like to be able to help further, but at this time there are no open lines of communication between private sector companies and the Chinese Authorities."

DesertDawg Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 Doesn't sound to me that you're in "over your head." A good cable connection still always beats wi-fi especially where really high quality signals are required. If you're cable is exposed to the weather, especially rain and direct sunlight, the plastic covering will deteriorate so you might be better going to to CAT 6 outdoor like this. https://www.amazon.com/Outdoor-Waterproof-Ethernet-Direct-Shielded/dp/B002HFEBYM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted October 24, 2018 Share Posted October 24, 2018 CAT 7 cable is designed for 10Gb/s connections so, for the moment, only makes sense in directly connecting local network attached storage (NAS) devices.

DesertDawg Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Firefox for Amazon Fire Stick is now available. I tried it on Hearts TV video clips last night. Despite the usual TV vs PC display WEB browser screen differences the clips played really well in full screen at the highest available (2500 nominal / 1080 true) resolution on my 50" Samsung LED TV.
