NEW Hibernian TV

Glad they've got round to improving this as the picture quality was poor and the aspect ratio was all wrong. Will be interesting to see it this afternoon. Would like to see a lot more historical games on it. Now they just have to sort the iPhone app.

I'm sure almost nobody will agree with me and its just a stupid thing and I'm sure he is the best man for the job and all that but it doesn't feel right all those interviews for Hibs TV being done with an English accent.

"we are pleased to announce that Hibernian TV International will replace Hibernian TV LIVE from this weekend going forward.
The quality of the video stream enabling you to watch the action from afar will be vastly superior to the previous video stream used on TV LIVE. Full price details will be available when the relaunch happens this afternoon. Please note a sizeable amount of Hibernian matches will be broadcast via Hibernian International (both home and away), but not every home game as before with TV LIVE"

My best friend lives down South in England - he has "an English accent" - he's been there since he was 12, he is however a huge Hibs fan and is up whenever he can make it - surely the accent per se is not a problem?

It might be a hook up with a company that already does the old firm for example. Maybe the old firm would kybosh those games because they already transmit them internationally through their own outlets?

Part you`ve highlighted is worrying . Wonder which home matches will not be shown . This may explain why season ticket has yet to be offered this season when originally they said it`d be available from October I think .

No, agreed, it's just stupid, but it still bothers me.

Yeah - that amazed as well - as an overseas fan I love watching all the home games - be interesting to see how many home games are not going go be shown... can't quite see why this has to be the case and how this is an improvement?

No its not his accent that grinds my gears its his delivery and his mundane voice. He actually makes it sound like he would rather be anywhere else than doing an interview. No passion for it.

I'm guessing that what they are about to do is exactly what they did at Hearts.

There will be no 'local' involvement in 'international live' - it will be taken from a feed in London and fed to the internet from there. That is why they can't guarantee every game any more - because not every game will send a live feed to the London studio.

The club will get little or nothing from this

only at hibs can they go backwards going forward

It could be worse. He could have my accent.

[Aubenas]

But still not Mac friendly?????

[just_joe]

I agree about the interviewer. It doesn't feel right to me with an English accent also. Although the main problem I have with him is that when hes commentating/interviewing he doesn't seem to know his arse from his elbow when it comes to Hibs.

Been a member for some years now - seems to me the further it gets away from the local feel the less good it does the club as a whole ... and the less connected I feel to it as a fan...

its ****ing so stupid. I wish Apple and Adobe would grow up. There is surely something in it for both parties to make up. With Apples founder no more you would think this would be possible.

Thats how i feel too. Its nothing to do with his accent, he just sounds bored. If it was all about accents, nobody would like Boozy doing it?

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

I always felt that the interviews were being held in a toilet as the sound was terrible, Hibs really have to up the sticks about this for me to have any idea of paying for it, it's been terrible in the past but I do hope this is the turning point.

His 2 minute stint on Jim traynors show every week is more than enough thank you very much.

Maybe that's it. He just reminds me of all these boring idiots I meet in London that are supposedly big football fans, probably support Aresenal and when you talk to them about anything its obvious they don't know the first thing about their club or football in general.

[Craig_in_Prague]

Have not watched live home game since Aberdeen early in the season.

Quality is just so average/poor, you can usually find better streams online for free.

Besides the commentary isn't what it used to be either, but perhaps being a crap team for 2 years has been the biggest reason I don't part with my money or waste my time watching......... It's good to hear the picture might be better, but not all games sounds strange and like Saturday, the game is on 2 or 3 Sat channels, meaning some pubs may have it and there will be a free stream online.

I used to absolutely love the HI TV live, but as I said many factors has put me off.

Adobe have stopped the development of mobile Flash anyway.

[SteveHFC]

notice bbc alba are showing game on sat which backs up my earlier post that games will be streamed from london

Or maybe they shoudl develop the service without using flash...since they know that this will not be available to a significant amout of users

I was going to bring this up at some point, but is anyone else having trouble reading the news stories on the app, it seems to crash when i want to check the news. I dont think they have updated it for iOS5

I actually think the guy who does the interviews (Andrew Sleight) is pretty decent and makes a nice change from some of the monotone idiots in the media in Scotland. I think he does his research reasonably well and shows it in interviews asking questions relating to the club's history, current issues etc etc. He's a professional journalist and used to work for the SRU for quite a while - I think for Hibs to have landed someone like that is actually a good piece of work - he's behind everything media-wise at the club, including the programme (for which he won editor of the year).

I think having a go at him based on his accent is incredibly petty to be honest and almost smacks of a "we don't like 'um cos he's English"....of course, the OP may not mean that but if he does then it's appalling tbh!

Also, if it's the same guy, he wrote Robbie Keane's biography! So he's not just some mug off the street.

But hey, there's just no pleasing some people!

Not for me, i just find him boring. His manner in the way he interviews is dull as dish water imo. Maybe he's suited to rugby, because imo he does not give me what i want from a Hibs interviewer or commentator.

Being English has nothing to do with this whatsoever, as i said earlier, Boozy comes over well because he's enthusiastic, and you can tell he just wants us to do so well.

Andrew does none of that, and personally he puts me off listening. Well done for being editor of programme of the year, maybe thats what he's good at, but should leave the commentary and interviews to someone else?

[Dashing Bob S]

The English make the best commentators/presenters. For some reason a quite plummy middle to lower class English accent delivered by a guy you know is a totally boring barsteward works perfectly with the old industrial working-class game of association football.
