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

Got commentary now but audio seems a couple of seconds behind video

[Luckies1874]

Commentary is a couple of seconds out of sync with the game.

It was a poor stream at 720 even after they got it going correctly and, yes, you could hear the crowd noise was in sync with the picture stream but both were ahead of the commentary.

 

Still didn't make Jimmy's quips redundant though.  😁

Sorry about today folks, it doesn't help the viewers/listeners much but the issues earlier were completely out of our control. We'd done all of our tests almost 2 hours before kick off and everything was up and running and ready to go, but just before we were due to go on air we were told that the host broadcaster was having issues getting our commentary feed. What followed was a frustrating wait for us, and our production team, while they tried to resolve the issue. I know we'll be looking into what happened, but wanted to give a brief update. When it's a live TV game the host broadcaster controls the main feed, so we're at their mercy to some extent if there are technical issues. 

 

Hopefully the result made up for things at least to some extent...

Laurie,

 

I like Jimmy's quips but the result is what really matters.

Just in case you were ever in any doubt that Laurie Dunsire is a fan as well as commentator......

Anyone know if tonight's game on Hamilton TV works overseas.....?

On Hearts TV.

 

 

HAMILTON ACADEMICAL VS HEARTS

Live video coverage from Hamilton for International subscribers | Live audio commentary inside the UK & Ireland

[DesertDawg]

Not a good performance on the park or from the commentary team so far.

 

I don't need a complete historical analysis of each player as he's on the ball....just say what he's doing with it.

[DesertDawg]

By far the poorest commentary performance from Hearts TV since the streaming service first started.  Comments from Joel Sked like "I don't know why so many Hearts fans are still in the ground" are, frankly, pathetic.  Easily ranked alongside some of the dreadful fan based commentaries that I've heard on other streaming services.  Turning the audio off improved the whole experience although, admittedly, not by much. 

 

On a positive note today's combination made it clear realise how good Laurie Dunsire and Jimmy Sandison really are.

Update

Seen on FB the game is on PPV on Hearts TV today but seen on here that it isn't? So just wanted someone to clarify that it definitely isn't on there?

[bigfatskinnyjambo97]

Is it on Hearts TV international with the VPN? (Asking for a friend) 

[Rudi the Cocker Spaniel]

It's on Hearts TV for overseas subscribers and according to the Evening News it's on Hibs ppv which is why the kickoff was changed.

Unfortunately for live TV games we don't have access the studio, they'll be back next game that isn't live on Sky.

Also good to hear both you and Jimmy enjoying the game today, along with everyone else too!

Can't access any Hearts TV content just now. Main hearts website is fine, but TV website just states: "This site can't be reached" ☹️ Anyone else getting the same?

Today's seed is showing 360p resolution on login.  Manually moving it up to 720p improves the picture clarity.

Any news re a video feed to Hearts TV from Dunfermline next Sunday?
