Hearts TV/ppv thread.. Q's and A's here.

[Dinger]

well, my experience with pars tv just made me appreciate Hearts tv all the more, 

 

bad picture quality,  480p? looked worse on the tv tbh

convinced it was a drunk camera man, literally not following the play on occasion and shaky 

atrocious commentating, 

no replays

no timer or scoreboard

 

imagine being an expat Dunfermline fan, ouch.

And two slavering idiots for commentators. Ball comes of the post or, as the idiot desribed it "the 18 yard post". Dont get me wrong, im all for care in the community but locking two fife numb nuts in what sounded like a public toilet, giving them a free bridie each and then asking them to talk pish for ninety minutes! Thats exploitation of the thick

Will the Kilmarnock game be shown on Saturday?

Audio only KC, no Killie tv either.

 

[connlach]

Kilmarnock game is being shown

[neonjambo]

Weird just checked and yup it is listed on the website, though Laurie said it was audio only last week.

[TypoonJambo]

Maybe your contact with the club is bearing fruit, if so well  done.

[DesertDawg]

Well, that's changed since yesterday.  I doubt that it was our influence here though.  More likely that the game is being screened by a TV company or recorded for later viewing.

 

Either way, it's a step in the right direction in response to the increased subscription charges. 

[DesertDawg]

Nice touch here flagging the team sheet with today's Hearts TV availability.

 

[neonjambo]

I just notice the HD setting now gone up to 2500kbps.

Aye constantly freezing

[neonjambo]

Jambo in iraq and Beave try turning down the HD settings.

[neonjambo]

I reset my pc, as it was struggling with it set at 200 - now got it steady at 750.

 

A few hiccups - anyone got a flawless stream?

 

[Joey J J Jr Shabadoo]

If you have a fire stick or box you can watch it on that, on silk browser. My picture is perfect.

[magicTs]

Keeps freezing for me.

[Miami vice]

5 mins then freeze, 5 mins then freeze.

[Gards]

yep - freezing fairly regularly here

[Quesada Jambo]

Not a bad reception here. No freezing 

[Gards]

Actually getting worse - unwatchable just now.

[jambothommo]

Ok, stupid question I'm sure. Can I view live stream, as opposed to highlights, on IPad?

UK subscriber on holiday in Spain, just paid upgrade sub (I think) and can't get any response to clicking on live match icon

[neonjambo]

May stop now, if they stop screwing with the line, wonder if when it goes black they are trying to get a replay up.

 

Laurie mentioned they would fix that part at HT.

[neonjambo]

Not sure mate think you need a flash player.

Try the contact us button Thommo, normally will get back to you quickly.

[Miami vice]

Up to 17 mins in , switches back to 10 mins in, repeat. It’s going to takes hours to watch this. 

[Gards]

Yep - time on clock, currently 16:00....24 minutes into the game!

[JamboGuy]

I've not seen a stream this bad in ten years. It plays stuff then jumps back ten minutes then jumps again and then freezes. 

 

Wholly unusable

 

Just caught up to live - for 30 seconds, then leapt back 15

Anyone getting a reply from studio yet?

[Quesada Jambo]

Aye. Getting worse as the game goes on

I got told to lower quality of stream....no difference and still haven't caught up with the 20 mins behind live game.  Even restarted my machine.

[Joey J J Jr Shabadoo]

Mine is perfect and in HD. 

 

Edit, When I used a laptop, Internet explorer was always the best one.

Half time on the live game.  30 mins on the clock on my stream ?

I don’t even have the option it’s 1800 , 2500 or audio?

Got same BS reply ‘it’s fine our end’ wtf!!!

[DesertDawg]

I got a freeze prior to kick-off but moving to the backup player then back to the primary feed fixed it.  No stream problems since then but camera operator is having a fair bit of sunlight issues.

 

Audio improved as the half went on.

 

Not bad but does resemble a stream from a WEBcam at times.

At least one person has confirmed their steam is perfect, and that means the stream is leaving their servers in good nick. 

That in turn means any issues are happening somewhere between their servers and your computer, and there's not much they can do about that unfortunately. 

[neonjambo]

Think they just restarted the line, no service came up avevo something didnt catch it before I refreshed.

[Gards]

When i switch to audio only - it's half time.  When i go back to video...37 mins into the first half ?

 

[DesertDawg]

Hi Jay,

 

Looking a lot better now.  I recently moved up to  80 MB/s down on a bonded DSL line which is the fastest available where I live.  That seems to have made a significant improvement in signal stability.  The wi-fi side of the new bonded router seems to be Chromecasting to my TV with a better signal too.

 

Audio just came back up with some improvement too.

 

 

[neonjambo]

I have 150mb fibre (a bloody RoG router that makes no difference - certainly in this country) and it still sucks, School holidays, Weekend, and China only having three Hubs, Trying to use my VPN making no difference.

 

Just as a comparison I believe Taiwan has 33 Hubs.

[Miami vice]

Now lost signal

[Gards]

Just got to half time on video stream!

[neonjambo]

Wont tell you if we score Gards, im sure someone will though

[colinmaroon]

Awful quality!

[Miami vice]

Won’t need to watch this again. Seen it at least 3 times already

[Gards]

Here come the team for the second half....i can give commentary if you want ?

[magicTs]

And there IS the quality. WHAT A HEADER. Brilliant Hearts. 

[Deid Heid]

No probs with pic quality, the sound is awful though, do you guys know waht a pop filter is? FFS
