Pipleith Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 22 hours ago, davemclaren said: The answer is that it’s easier for Hearts and their streaming partners to do everything via one platform. It’s the corporate world of solution rationalisation/simplification. ‘This season all games will be streamed via Hearts TV. The Season Pass website used last season will no longer be used as our streaming partners, Stream Digital, will run one site – Hearts TV – in attempt to streamline the process of logging in and watching games, and also to provide support for any issues which may arise’ You're quite right, it simplifies the situation for the club if not its season ticket holders in the short term. I just wasn't thinking it through yesterday. Today I registered for a second Hearts TV account (luckily I have more than one e-mail address, otherwise I would have been snookered), wherein I successfully redeemed the season ticket code without having to take out another subscription. I still think that all of this jumping through hoops shouldn't be necessary. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Is it straight onto the video stream from now on ? No more ****ing around with codes etc ? Who knows? The latest email suggests the code is for use for the rest of the season for as long as capacity restrictions apply. When I started the thread a few uber Hearts fans were quick to deride the idea that the process was any more complicated than last year's and accuse me of attention seeking by suggesting otherwise. Let's see how it goes for the Celtic game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No more ****ing around with codes etc ? Yes I believe so. It worked perfectly well for me for the Sunderland game. I logged onto Hearts TV and there was an icon to click on for the game and it all worked well so I expect it to be the same for the Celtic game. I even thought that the quality was a bit better than last season. I found it all very simple and straightforward but I didn't already have a Hearts TV subscription and that appears to be where the difficulties lie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jambo Ell Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Apologies if this has already been covered. I bought a season ticket but currently recovering from Covid and unsure when I’ll feel ready to be back inside the ground again. I presume by not opting in, I’ll be able to watch the games on Hearts tv via my season ticket? I tried to have a look but couldn’t see what happened if you didn’t opt in. Just wondering if anyone knows? Or if I did opt in, was successful in the ballot, could I return the ticket and watch the game on Hearts tv? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you didn’t opt in to the ballot then you can watch the stream. You need to use the code Hearts sent you to set up your account though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Sifter Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Another who’s not read the thread, so please forgive me if this has been asked already… My dad has decided he wants to go to the games if he can, so he’s entered the ballot. I’m no fussed to be honest. But my dads (helpfully😳) put me into the ballot too, via his ‘network’. So if I am selected for a ticket for a game, does my streaming device become disabled for that one game? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndyNic Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 What's the deal with this? If you watch a game on the stream does it count towards your ST guarantee of 18 games? I carried 2 season tickets over from last season so don't want the same situation as we have 4 season tickets as a family in the same household. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
