It's called vg.nor but if,as it now seems likely, hearts are doing a ppv,that sounds easier.

Yeah just seen that. I'll use the PPV. Cheers anyway

My in-laws got it on theirs…not the usual channels though as couldn’t find it, they actually ended up finding it on a random channel by mistake lol

I will still be paying the £12 so the club get money personally.

 

Each to their own though.

I'd like to think most Hearts fans will do the same 

 

The £12 I save I'll spend in the Hibs club shop so the money stays local.

It was a Greek fan that was killed by a Croatian I believe

Just reading this the now. 
Absolute insanity what goes in some parts  of Europe. 
 
Turkish\Greek more than anyone  

 
 

 

 

[Rocky jamboa]

A nice little earner for the club. I'd imagine a good 5,000-10,000 fans will pay the PPV? so £65k-£130k revenue. We'd maybe get half that??

 

Thought they might have done something for it in the Gorgie Suite as well.

Probably down to the hooligan element on both sides.

 

The Zagreb lads are absolute monsters. I’d worked at Etihad when they played City a few years ago and their hooligan element are not 15-20 year old kids running rounded in Stone Island. They are cage fighting roid heads. They went absolutely apeshit at a city fan who flashed then a Hajduk Split shirt and 3 Croat cops who looked more like hooligans than the hooligans steamed into the City end and gripped the lad up.

 

Never actually worked when the Manchester teams have played anyone Greek.

No worries, I actually found it funny so mods can look away!

[Lord Beni of Gorgie]

I'm normally relatively well off, toiling a bit this month with some other expense, really sympathetic to those with kids. So many games in first month and another 13 quid to watch a stream. 

 

Really don't blame anyone for finding a way to watch

Lots of stabbings in Greece domestic matches yet the Super Cup still gets allocated to them.

Don’t do dodgy ways, so I’ll be getting the Hearts PPV stream

 

Nothing dodgy about the Norwegian stream and I'll still be using that if the quality's better

 

Don't know what you mean by dodgy

 

Are you saying you'd not watch a link on here if you think it's 'dodgy' and go without any video stream?

Folk can do what they want to do. I choose to watch things that are not illegal or questionable about their legality. I’m well aware I’m likely in the minority in this though.

[been here before]

Shame its not on the beeb, youtube or being streamed elsewhere.

 

Promised myself that during the covid season where all we had was Hearts TV, that given the choice I would never watch it again. Its ****in awful.

I don't do anything illegal and you sure can do whatever you like

 

There's nothing illegal about clicking on a stream on a website though

 

I paid Hearts TV for years, even in the off season, but the quality of the picture is unacceptably bad

 

It seems like a direct feed from Norway, so unless it's downsampled, it should be the same

 

It was the beginning of the end for me, though, when Hearts TV used a feed from killie that was so good at 1080p, 50/60Fps, that it was like looking through glass

 

Until Hearts TV matches this, it will be only by necessity; it's only Jimmy I like too, I also know him from way back

Better than nothing though 😏

and definitely better than radio Scotland Sportsound. 

[Daveandal]

I think in terms of EU law watching a stream is "legal" providing it is "illegal". I suspect the UK or Scottish law will still, for the moment, be in line with that. 

 

It's strange our moral compass on things like this. Back in the 90s I used to Dowland music illegally but I'd never shoplift but essentially they are the same.... stealing.

 

And who hasn't speeded? 🤷‍♂️ even just by accident.

There are a lot of sites that subscribe to a service and stream it to the public, yes

 

The most that happens to them, majorly, is that their webhost is forced to stop the stream, which is why they sometimes choose an obscure country to stream it from, with no agreement with EU, US and the rest of the set, I won't bore you with details

They're not the same though, if you take something from a shop, that's an item that they've spent money on with the intention of selling. It's no longer in their inventory as it's been taken, so that's a loss.

 

If you download a song, nothing's been taken out of any inventory, the company still have the same product to sell, so it's no actual loss to them.

I'm not so sure. An artist has created something, music, and wants you to pay for using/listening to their service.  You are stealing their work.

Absolute twaddle. Nowadays very few technical issues and probably the best balanced commentary from all club sites. I live abroad and international is a godsend. Yes I have iptv and could watch the same channel for free but that's steeling from the club. Watching sky,BBC etc on it doesn't even flutter my moral compass though.

The commentators are horse shit, absolutely awful. Surely in this day and age a commentary free option is there.

Commentary free? Do you have a volume switch? Not too complicated to use.

How much do you think the club makes from Hearts TV, from normal subs and separately from PPV events?

 

I'm estimating a very low amount and from the rosenborg away game, about £1 per person

I have no idea but doubt it's a lot as Laurie and Jimmy regularly have to sprint across the stadium at half time to get a coffee. Maybe they're even making a loss. Maybe it's very small margins but both these make it even more important that I pay for it. This month on Hearts TV international I'll get 5 matches live for £15.99. Great value.

£15.99? I hope they've fixed the quality issues, then

 

You could be right about making a loss for this game, though, but I reckon the club are doing it for the supporters, which is a good thing; still, I would hope they're making a small profit, at least

I hope they're not making a loss. It's poor patter stealing stuff and expecting others to foot the bill at the best of times, but from your own club is particularly poor imo. (Not meaning the Norwegian paid stream btw)

 

That said, delighted they've got it on, well done to them for making it happen 👍
