(EIGHTEEN POUNDS FIFTY) https://bit.ly/2TTacga Still trying to work out what they mean by they’ve valued it at £15 to season ticket holders? One assumes that’s to calculate the value they will deduct from your paid ST to determine what they will credit you for next year. Hearts already offered ST holders no access to streaming and a full rollover to next season, if they elected it. Example...let’s say you get a £300 ST and stream games, each game you log into would subtract £15 from your “credit” with Hearts toward a 21-22 ST. For me, at £18.50 to Hearts, I’m out and will hope RaithTV would watch the game and stream audio...if not, text updates it is! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Championship games scheduled for 9 January are now on Tuesday 12 January as all the Championship clubs are in the Scottish Cup second round on the 9th. Dunfermline’s game away to Hearts is now on the Tuesday and unlikely to be on tv. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a point of principle I doubt many ICT fans will be taking the Hearts stream today. Shocking price when you consider what other Championship teams are charging. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TxRover Posted November 7, 2020 Author Share Posted November 7, 2020 Week Four reviews...opinions culled from game threads, first hand reports appreciated. Hearts stream seems to have been OK, in that there were either no watchers complaining or no one paid £18.50 for it. RaithTV was good (watched it myself, perfect stream, a couple of replay hitches, mostly unbiased commentary) Ayr TV was marginal...not as stable as the previous game, and possibly a new camera operator. Arbroath was almost another Pixellot/ICT/bald head fiasco, but slightly more watchable. Also, reports that Pixellot is looking to hire people to exercise manual control over the camera feed for Championship games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, reports that Pixellot is looking to hire people to exercise manual control over the camera feed for Championship games. The latter line is a fact, not a report. Arbroath was ok, no better than that. The stream was stable. It didn't go down at all. It was Pixellot. The first half random switches to the wrong end of the pitch were unusual, especially once they got Iain Campbell a hat! The longer the game went on the worse it got for random flicks away from the action though, culminating in completely missing an incident where Dobbie burst into the box and switching to halfway. By the time it came back Dobbie was being booked (apparently for diving though the commentary team guessed late challenge on Gaston). It also at no point whatsoever during the game zoomed in or out. So action at the far side of the pitch was hard to see. Commentary team were clearly working from a screen but within the ground which meant you heard the HT whistle 30 seconds before it happened on screen for instance and heard the cheers for our goal before it happened on screen either. They were a wee bit amateur. No harm to them, it was ok, but weakest of the ones I've heard so far. Morton, Ayr and Dunfermline were all better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.A.F.C Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 That’s me done risking using any away clubs ppv. Couldn’t see any of the game via the official Ayr site. Blank screen, once registered couldn’t try another device. I think just about everyone using their stream today had issues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However ayr proved its not just hosting that can make the stream a problem if clubs aren’t using the right equipment/operators. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
