Forfar Athletic v Hibernian PPV

[HH81]

Just been reading they are charging £12.50 for the game.

Bit more expensive than Hibs at £9.99.

So good to be able to watch so many games, do you think clubs will continue a streaming service when fans are back?

Seems a little steep however can't really complain about smaller clubs generating probably their only form of income.

On another point did I hear Alloa chairman on sportsound saying that they were able to allow fans into their hospitality suite to watch away games? Maybe wrong but thought he had said that.

In hospitality then watch it on the telly

[Gatecrasher]

no complaints from me, some of these clubs are desperate for cash and will be happy to pay a little more.

That’s correct. Loads of teams are doing that for away games.

Falkirk are doing the same

[Sir David Gray]

No problem with the price good on them for offering a service.

Ok didnt realise that. Assume Hibs dont

Hibs have been doing it for hospitality season ticket holders.

[CMurdoch]

Away group PPV league cup ties give us an opportunity to help and possibly save lower league clubs and at the same time see our teams away matches.
Pile in.

Ok cheers

If I was a Bairns fan, I would pay to watch them being awarded a 3-0 win at Killie:greengrin

They're doing it for the Dunfermline match on Friday night.

[Chorley Hibee]

That’s correct. Loads of teams are doing that for away games.

My club Chorley had hospitality in their social club (inside the stadium) for their game at home to Gateshead last Saturday.

They weren't allowed outside to watch the actual game that was being beamed to the social club though.

Crazy!

Is this via Hibs TV, I cant see Forfar having their own tv channel.

Agree wholeheartedly with that.

As an aside and I'm not unduly worried but do Hibs get a percentage of the takings? Similarly do Brora get a cut of ours tomorrow night?

Cup tie gates are split so was wondering if PPV was the same, obviously for league matches the home team takes all the spoils.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

👍

[KingPat4]

Will gladly pay PPV for all of the LC games, all clubs need the cash. No idea who Hearts play, but I bet their fans have been researching closely to see who to boycott. :rolleyes:

[Riverside Hibs]

they trialed Forfar TV a couple of weeks ago v Brechin, charged about £2 i think. There was no commentary available i think, maybe Hibs could provide this?

[Centre Hawf]

Happy to pay their price for this to help them out, just hope it can cope with the demand.

[kaimendhibs]

Don't mind paying that at all

Hibs TV international subs get games against teams that streaming platform is hosted/ran by the same company. Not sure if Forfar are using them.

[Wheat Hound]

I see Forfar's gane tonight v Dundee has been cancelled owing to 1 Forfar player testing positive for covid. Dundee have been awarded a 3-0 win. Wonder if this will affect our game next week?

1 player testing positive, surely no scrap the game for that, then again if he has mixed with others, could be alot of 3-0 wins awarded this season.

Do teams playing premiership teams not have to test (I’m sure I read that)? Maybe it’s in preparation to play us as well?

[Billy Whizz]

They do, and Forfar said they’ll be testing for the Hibs game on Thursday

[B.H.F.C]

Do teams playing premiership teams not have to test (I’m sure I read that)? Maybe it’s in preparation to play us as well?

Aye they do. But that’s crap as well.

Brora had to travel down to Dingwall on Saturday to get tested. The boys then all go about their normal business between then and tomorrow and play against us. Given the lengths the Premiership teams have had to go to, I’m surprised that they are happy with that kind of thing to be honest.

[H18 SFR]

Not sure if I am interpreting this right, the Forfar Ath site says:

However, it should be noted that the overall feel of the event will be similar to this test event using the automated Pixellot camera system.

Does this mean that they don't have an actual camera person filming the game?

I think they are used for streams on betting sites.

They're AI cameras that follow the ball although hopefully Forfar's one works better than Albion Rovers one did last night.

My mate watched a conference match with the same set up. He said the quality was excellent and it worked well.

Only issue was there was penalty and the camera turned the other way just before it was taken. 🤣🤣

Watched bit of that on you tube as you say quality a bit mixed but fair enough. The shouting from the sidelines was interesting let's say. :greengrin

Would be amazed if we didn't win but looked a tricky surface to be honest. Think premier teams have struggled to win there in the past.

Agree, it'll be a tricky surface. I know this is never the correct way to look at games, but they were beaten by Brechin the other week, and Brechin have gone on to ship 13 goals in 2 games.

Yes we should win hopefully convincingly and no injuries. Noticed that wee Ned Bobby Barr plays for them. Coached by a guy who used to be in charge at EK. Assume they will be well up for it.

That Bobby Barr gave us a torrid time once or twice.

He’s not Lionel Messi but I’m surprised he hasn’t been playing at a higher level than that.

[ano hibby]

I got an email from the nice people at Forfar TV:

Thank you for purchasing a PPV for tonight's match between Forfar Athletic and Hibernian in the Betfred Cup.

The stream will go live at 7pm to ensure everyone can log in and any technical issues are dealt with ahead of kick-off at 7.45pm.

To watch the match: We recommend you log in at https://forfarathletic.univtec.com/home well before kick-off to check everything is working. When you log back into your account (using the email and password you used to register on the site) you need only to click on the match graphic for the Forfar Athletic v Hibernian match. A yellow arrow will display. Click on that and the live stream will appear. There is a countdown for each match so you can see how long until the stream goes live.

There are no Access codes for this match.

Technical support: If you have any issues please email: tvsupport@forfarathletic.co.uk

Some common issues are easily sorted by refreshing your web cache - read more about this at: https://www.refreshyourcache.com/en/home/

If you have difficulty logging back in after you have registered successfully - please check your log in and password do not have any spaces in them - this can happen with cutting and pasting. You can also request a password reset on the log in page. The password request email often goes into spam boxes so please check that.

Viewing the match: You can pause the action and replay it via the progress bar along the bottom of your screen. Teamlines will appear across the screen pre-match and at intervals during the match. We will also use this ‘ticker’ to list goal scorers and substitutions and score graphics will also be used. While we, and the provider Pixellot, have worked extremely hard behind the scenes over the last few months to set up the streaming service, it should be noted that this is not a live television broadcast with multiple camera angles, action replays and a full production team. We do not have the resources to provide that level of production. We are also not able to offer commentary with the live stream at this stage. But you may well hear pitch noise (you can turn down the audio on your device). Therefore we would ask supporters to keep in mind the live stream will not have the same feel to it as the conventional live television broadcast coverage to which we’ve all become accustomed.

Thank you for your support.

Think the lack of commentary will be very odd, but it'll be interesting to hear what is picked up from players and coaches. The equivalent of watching rugby on Alba and listening to the ref mic.

[MrRobot]

Same for me. Is it bad to ask for money back?

Not really tbh

[Daniel 1875]

Looks like they are using one of those unmanned AI cameras which is supposed to follow the ball using motion sensors.

Not doing a great job of following the ball though!

[allmodcons]

Absolute shambles. Will be requesting a refund.

[Gloucester Hibs]

Kicked out and can’t get back in again this time 😩

[Hermit Crab]

Back in and I don’t know how I done it. I just buggered about with it. I think I just kept refreshing the page.

[PatHead]

If you log out using the wee icon at the top right, then click on the buy this event link again, it will take you to the login screen

Tried that but it wants me to purchase it again. Too frustrating. Just going to give up.

[Dr_Regal]

I need a check up from the neck up, rushing home from work in the pishing rain to pay 12.50 for this. Mental patient.

[Sprouleflyer]

How the **** do you get back in again. It wants me to pay again.
Found the answer, go into buy this event again, it will then allow you access to the game.

[Eyrie]

Hibs just retweeted Forfar saying they are aware of "some issues", "are working on it" and "apologise".

[Gloucester Hibs]

Back in by refreshing loads and logging out and back in 3 times 😎

[PatHead]

No. No access code required

That's what I thought but was kicked out and they want me to pay again.

Wondered if you would get in using a code.

[hibby rae]

As frustrating as this, I feel for whoever is trying to sort it right now. They'll be feeling the pressure.

Not bothered about a refund, half goes to Hibs and Forfar could probably do with the cash so I'll mark it down as a donation to a good cause. As annoying as it is that I can't watch the game.

[Leithwalk]

Its just the type of card it's looking for plus card number and expiry date.

Although you might have had a lucky escape as the feeds now gone.


Feed returned as the teams left the field at half-time

[Dr_Regal]

Back on now after the 45th refresh

[Golden Bear]

Must be a bad injury?

[Vault Boy]

Back up for me too.

[fiolex1]

The person filming hasn’t got a clue how to use the zoom on the camera

[Peanut Shaz]

I cleared my caches, logged out and signed back in again. Seems to be fine now.

[Radium]

worked for me, didn't put the details back in and the game feed came back

[Golden Bear]

10mins yet.

[TAHibby]

Yeah this worked for me and brought up the login screen rather than going to a payment screen.

No idea whats going on here, appears to be a bad injury to someone

[blackpoolhibs]

Looks like a bad injury for one of them, the camera man is keeping his distance from it 😂

[CapitalGreen]

Feed returned as the teams left the field at half-time

Still 10 mins until half time

[MKHIBEE]

A waste of time and money, I’m out

Is it thought it was all Forfar?

[The Captain....]

The quality is diabolical when and if you do manage to get a few seconds of 'action'. Its either a clip youve already seen or the camera is randomly pointing in the wrong direction. ****ing pathetic effort.

[Leithwalk]

Still 10 mins until half time

Break in picture less long than it seemed

[Eyrie]

Working as a I type, but for how long?

Now at 38 minutes, and I doubt I've seen as much as 8 of them.

If I don't get the second half, it'll be a refund for me.

[Golden Bear]

Forfar player getting stretchered off. Looks a bad yin.

[Hermit Crab]

Looked a bad injury but the camera missed it.

[H18 SFR]

The person filming hasn’t got a clue how to use the zoom on the camera

There isn’t a person, it’s automated.

[tamig]

Nice one 👍

[Andy74]

The camera looks programmed to actually zoom further out the further away the ball goes.

[Ozyhibby]

Forfar managed to charge me 3 times over for this and I still can’t watch it. I’ll be looking for a full refund.

Defo the case here, a toy town camera if you ask me, shocking service all round.

[Dr_Regal]

Make it go off again please, eyes are bleeding over here.

[Coco Bryce]

This has to be the worst stream I have ever seen in all my years using the Internet. Woeful 😂

[fiolex1]

[Golden Bear]

Meanwhile we've hardly strung a pass together which is hardly surprising on that surface.

[GordonHFC]

I think the camera man is in Montrose he is that far from The game.

[Silversand]

The AI camera is like Yul Brynner in Westworld trying to find a heat source.

You tried SunshineOnLeith’s tip? Worked a treat for me.

There is no camera man. It is automated. It does actually zoom in when closer. Mental.

[Alfred E Newman]

That pitch is a joke. Impossible to play any constructive football on that.

Good evening,

Sorry you are having issues with the stream but we are aware of an
ongoing issue. Please hold tight and continue refreshing and we should
be back with you soon.

Thanks

[Up The Bracket]

Been fine since around 30 minutes in.

Find it a bit rank that people were being judged for wanting a refund for the remaining games of last season as they were taking money from the club but 10 minutes of a game at another club cutting out and everyone shouting for a refund from a community club who are really desperate for the money.

Not very Hibs class, is it?

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Is it just me or have they shrunk the Hibs crest? Or blown up their’s? Petty if so.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

There isn't anyone filming it, it's on remote, absolute **** to pay £12.50 for this, you can't even make the game out on the far side, woeful

[CMurdoch]

A wee fud wi a mobile phone on periscope would have been better than that coverage.
AI camera droid has a lot to learn!

😂 Hope it’s some kind of trial Beta version as it seems buggy as anything. Not exactly a shining endorsement to encourage other clubs to use this tech!!

[MacGruber]

If anyone struggling like I was to log back in once out....

Hit the circle/face icon top right takes you into your profile. Log out at the bott of that page so you are fully logged out. You then have the blue log in button at the top - log back in with email and password and you should just be able to click the game feed again

Good luck fellow technophobes

I wouldn’t be asking for a refund myself. I missed most of the first half though. But there’s a difference. The TV issues are nothing to do with COVID. If you’re selling online services, you need to make sure they’re working and fit for purpose.

Paranoia maybe.

Definitely different size now you mention it.

I won’t either but you’re right. Last season Hibs can’t have been blamed for Covid stopping games.

Forfar have had the opportunity to plan how they deliver a stream and at what cost. It is pricey for what it is and shouldn’t be too tricky to deliver these days.

[Just Alf]

Thanks for the tip. That didn't work for me but after a few attempts then a few hits of refresh it did work. Based on the five minutes I saw I wish it hadn't!😂

[Radge70]

I entered my credit card details again as I didn't want to miss a second of this thriller and I've now got 3 pending payments on my bank account (it kept saying payment unsuccessful). So £50 total for the first half of Forfar v Hibs so far - beat that!

[Coco Bryce]

Must still only have dial-up in Forfar.

I’ve actually bought the game 10 times as I’m that desperate to save them as a club

[PatHead]

The camera is losing it with 4 or 5 balls on at halftime.

[Gatecrasher]

I missed about 10 mins of first half with issues but there’s bound to be teething issues, there’s probably not a club in Scotland that’s had some streaming issues. Hopefully the second half is better.

with all that being said the picture quality is decent and I bet there’s some cameramen worried about their jobs as the technology evolves.

[SunshineOnLeith]

Honestly what were some of the people complaining about this expecting, Sky Sports? Clearly says on both Forfar and Hibs' websites that it was going to be an automatic camera set up, yet this thread is full of folk complaining about "the camera man". You were told you were buying a feed from a single camera on a pole, set your expectations accordingly.

It's Forfar Athletic, they don't have the resources bigger clubs do to have put in place anything better than this. Also, this is their first competitive home game of the season so, other than in their friendly the other week, they've not really had a chance to test this or work out teething problems. There will probably be a step by step guide on their website of how to log out then log back in if you lose the stream before their next home game, as clearly it's confusing, but other than that I'm not seeing a lot wrong with it.

[offshorehibby]

I've had the stream on since 7 and no major problems, dropped out for the odd minuet here and there. I'd be more concerned that we hadn't had a shot or header at goal yet.

Based on this there will be no cameramen worried just yet.

They have dipped my pocket for £37.50 and supplied no product whatsoever. I’m not a charity. I’ll be asking for a full refund. I’ve paid for enough football this season that I’m not getting from Hibs without adding more to Forfar.

Read your post again and then tell us whether they should be charging £12.50 for this based on everything you say. Absolute shambles. Saw the chance to rip Hibs fans off and took it. Hope every Hibs fan asks for a refund.

If they’d charged a fiver or so then folk would maybe have been more accepting.

[CMurdoch]

CCTV tastic!

[RitchieHibs]

Here's hoping for better second half. At least a couple of goals. Come on Hibs.

It's up to Forfar what they charge for it, they told us what we were buying. If they'd given the impression it was going to be multiple cameras, commentary etc and then it had been a camera on a pole then yes we'd have been ripped off. As it is, we got pretty much exactly what was promised.
