DesertDawg Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Any idea who was supplying today's feed? It certainly wasn't one of the live TV channels. Picture was clear although the stream needed to be re-booted towards the end. Lack of an on screen score and graphics was a bit strange. Moving ahead, I see we have no "Upcoming Live Fixtures" listed for Hearts TV at all now. Does this mean that there will be no audio or video feeds for the next three away games or any from Murrayfield? I guess it's possible that there was no Hearts TV contingency plan for any delay in the stand construction or maybe it's the same guy who forgot to order the new stand seats that schedules handles the live broadcasts?

1874 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I hope there will be video for international subscribers for the murrayfield games .... if not I for one will be looking for a refund and a explanation why not ..... things have to start improving with hearts tv or they will end up loosing subscribers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayman Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Joke that in 2017 we are unable to offer Live TV coverage from every ground. Like I've said many times hughesie in America I get high school diving on live TV with some of the people over weight doing bombs and I can't see a 3rd v 4th clash between hearts and the likes of St Johnstone anywhere. And you get usl which is like lowland league standard live on you be every game etc. On top of that most colleges have better services than hearts and I've operated their live cameras before... It's easy. You take a $200 video camera plug it in and that's it. So so simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertDawg Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well, I see we've finally got an audio stream announcement for today's game. I'm with Dayman on this. I can watch my local high school baseball team either on streaming video or a local TV channel. I see that Rangers are promoting streaming video of next week's game which presumably means that we'll get some kind of stream....not that Hearts TV seem to want us to know.

As I mentioned earlier today, I can get all of my local high school baseball team games on streaming video and a local TV channel. Keep up the good work though. Hi DD, apologies my previous post was not meant to have a heap of question marks in it, that was actually a smiley demonstrating my frustration but it doesn't appear to have transferred well from my phone to the forum. In terms of video streaming for away matches this is something I've asked about before and the short answer is that the costs associated with it are extremely high, as we would have to get in a mobile broadcast unit (which I believe is what Celtic TV do). As you will be aware, we often can't even rely on getting an ISDN line at opposing grounds that allows us to provide audio coverage so there's no way we can expect facilities for providing full video as well, which is why a separate unit (the kind you see when the TV companies are in town, but on a smaller scale) would be required. I know it's frustrating, especially in this day and age, however we're in the same boat as Hibs TV and Red TV, to compare with clubs of similar size, who can do video at home matches but for most away games it's just audio. Obviously a club of Celtic's size can afford the addition costs of their own mobile unit so they can cover away trips as well, which Rangers TV most likely do as well (I haven't checked their service for a while though), but the rest of us can't unfortunately. In terms of comparisons with local sport coverage in the US, I honestly don't know what they use or why they can provide more video streaming than us - I don't want to pretend I know the technical side of any of this, because I don't!

DesertDawg Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi Laurie, Thanks for your response. You're probably aware that the BBC "audio blowback" got louder when Isma got sent off! I appreciate that cost is a factor with a "mobile unit" but I don't mind checking around to see what the local colleges and schools do here. I'm sure the other guys in the U.S. Canada and elsewhere can help too. However, one thing does immediately come to mind. If Hibs TV and Red TV. and probably others, are in the "same boat," why not pool resources? Why not extend their home game video streams to Hearts TV subscribers when we're playing at their grounds and do the same in return for their fans? Moving on now to Murrayfield, what will happen there from the home game against Aberdeen onwards? Some news would be helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Hughsie has a point. Whether it would justify the expense of the additional transactions is a question that only Media Sports and the club can answer. There's also the issue of the streaming bandwidth problems that occurred during the Newcastle game last month because the video stream was opened to U.K. subscribers and quite a few from Newcastle seemingly logged in. I see that we today have Hearts TV WEB page fixtures announced for audio only during the Rangers and Motherwell away games. That effectively means that will will have received no live video at all in August for our subscription. I suppose we will get additional home game video streams for the reverse fixtures during the winter months but it's got to the point where the club needs to take a good look at how this service is being operated and how it can be improved. An email questionnaire to existing subscribers would be a good start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Moving on now to Murrayfield, what will happen there from the home game against Aberdeen onwards? Some news would be helpful. Hi DD, The honest truth of the matter is that at the moment they are still in talks over how coverage will work from Murrayfield. I don't know much more than that at the moment, obviously we were planning for how the coverage was going to work from Tynecastle from the 9th September so the delay threw a spanner in the works for a number of things, including Hearts TV. Hopefully there will be an update soon on this matter but until arrangements are confirmed I can understand that the club won't want to make any commitments on the website (that's my opinion incidentally, not coming from the club itself necessarily!)

DesertDawg Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 Hi Laurie, They way things have been going this season so far, that's pretty much what I expected. Your input is much appreciated but who is the main contact for the Hearts TV service? Is it someone at the club or is it Media Sports? Since extensive changes are being made to the stadium this would seem to be a good time to establish how best to provide the Hearts TV service both in the interim and, more importantly, in the long term after the new stand is completed. Meantime, if you are doing the audio commentary on Saturday, I hope you get a bit more elbow room from the BBC and others! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesertDawg Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I'm pretty sure that away games that we saw on Hearts TV last season were also on live TV in the U.K. and, if on Sky Sports, we got them live on Fox Soccer too. It is a good question though. Why not ask Hearts TV support on their WEB site to see what kind of response they give? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggested last year some sort of reciprical arrangement, cannot see how rangers would object. Not sure of figures but i guess Hearts international fans who would pay for this will be at tops in the low hundreds, yet when Rangers et Celtic come to us, their international fans would be much more. Win win. Only snag is that when the OF are away 9/10 it will be on Sky or BT. The football bosses have really cocked up having Hibs and Hearts visits to Ibrox as 3pm saturday kickoffs.
