And remember this was the corrected version of the instructions. The first said existing Hearts TV subscribers did not have to register at all. The attempt to excuse this shambles and blame us is pathetic. Well I managed to work it out all by myself that I had to use a different email address.

(took me a whole 2 mins to create a new address) Well good for you. Did you try with the original uncorrected instructions? Even in the "simple" instructions you quote the last paragraph, a hangover from the original version, implies there is a choice between registering and submitting your code without registering. But maybe you are right and we should have had no problem. But the fact that many did struggle and waste time is evidence of a major fail by the club in process and communication. But hey as someone responded to the OP it was no more complicated than the previous arrangement! Maybe we have just got stupider. Long Covid symptom maybe?

That means Hearts have got the best part of 2 weeks to sort out a system that's (A) easy to access, (B) one that the fans can understand, (C) doesn't have to involve the input of crazy passwords/ID's involving indecipherable I's and L's and upper/lower case random combinations of numbers and letters. And add simple directions to the appropriate site. Add (D) doesn't require existing Hearts TV subscribers to use a different email address(and other details?) to create a different Hearts TV account to access streaming.

Go to the Hearts TV home page by visiting https://heartstv.heartsfc.co.uk/ - this is the only site to register your details · Click on the REGISTER button on the top right of the page. If you already have an active Hearts TV account then please register with different details. · Complete the register form with your details, along with the marketing section and agree to the terms and conditions. · Once completed press Register. You will be taken back to the Hearts TV homepage. · To redeem your season ticket code, click on your username on the top right of the page and select Account settings from the dropdown. · Once in Account Settings, click REDEEM SEASON TICKET CODE on the left-hand side of the page. · Manually type the unique code that was emailed to you (copying and pasting can often include hidden spaces) and click Redeem. Please note the code is case sensitive so type it exactly as it appears in the email. · You are now registered. Supporters are encouraged to complete their registration and/or redeem their season ticket code as soon as possible and well in advance of Saturday’s game in order to prevent any issues on the day of the game. If supporters experience any difficulties then please email [email protected] All very simple really... Honestly guys, have word with yourselves... You can to log and post on here, so your not stupid when it comes to the Internet. The Instructions are perfect if they work. I can assure you they never worked for me. Everything worked perfectly until I had to manually type in the unique code. I then tried copying and pasting the unique code, still didn't accept it. It wasn't until I logged out and back in again did it accept the previously copied code. No logic to it.

upgotheheads Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 (edited) I had this conversation earlier, Hi. just a few questions regarding season ticket tv coverage for this season. Is the code I received for the Sunderland game now my access code for the rest of the season? Will last seasons Matchday Live link continue for games this season, If not could you email me the new Link? Last year's system was very user friendly and all I had to do each week was select the site and I was in. Will the site operate in the same way this year? Did my eventual access on Saturday mean that I am now fully registered for this season, If so could you email me my username again for this season? Regards, The answer came back very quickly That code was just to redeem to confirm that you are a season ticket holder, and as such will have access to live home league games this season. On matchdays, all you'll need to do is login to HeartsTV: https://heartstv.heartsfc.co.uk/ Your username is: Edited July 19, 2021 by upgotheheads Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you subscribe to Hearts TV and pay for it you won't be able to. Neither to watch the usual content which I rarely do nor listen to audio commentary which I do. The problems seem to have been mainly due to requiring for streaming a direct link to Hearts TV which seems to work unless you have a Hearts TV account when it gets complicated with a separate email account required for the streaming service.

Sooperstar Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 The streams thing for this season is a shambles already. You have to register for Hearts TV. You can't use any existing Hearts TV account that you have. And to set up a new one you need to use a different email address. Also, the code you got in your email which was advised as being for accessing the Sunderland stream is the code you need to use to register for the streams, so you better go and fetch that email from your deleted items folder.

portobellojambo1 Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 I gave in and set up a gmail account and email address for myself just so I could at least watch the Celtic game if I miss out on the ballot, I suspect that after that game I may never have to use it again if entry to the stadium becomes an option again shortly.

luckydug Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 They didn't half make it difficult for folk to redeem their ST code. I had two L figures and an I figure in my code, very unclear which letters were which. Then they compound the situation by advising people not to copy and paste. I missed seeing the game because of their 'advice' if I had copied and pasted I would have been logged in no problem instead of playing bingo with any amount of combinations my code provided. Are they intentionally hiring Hibs fans to work in admin at the club because they seem intent on ****ing us around. The latest nonsense being the social distancing arrangements which are even stricter than the SG requires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lone Striker Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Can anyone confirm my understanding of this whole situation - Until the SG lift all capacity restrictions for Tynecastle, ST holders have access to all Hearts TV stuff (without subscription) including live home match streams. Once the SG does lift all restrictions, ST holders can still access Hearts TV (without subscription) - but live home match streams won't be available if you're viewing in the UK. Is that all correct ? If rumours of restrictions being lifted sometime in August turn out to be true, then all this kafuffle will have been done just to get to see the Sunderland, ICT & Celtic games (maybe another LC next round game too, and maybe the Aberdeen game too) ....... correct ?
