Set a new standard today.
-
I bet the Spurs franchise would have managed to show a game fine.
-
It really is very poor. They have so often not got the sound right for audio only events so I suppose video was always likely not to work. A service not worthy of our football club.
-
Ha ha I just knew there was going to be an AVTV thread ....useless twunts!!
-
Woodward Out.
-
The whole website's crap.
-
A bit gutted. I'm betting Tuesdays coverage will be flawless, up and running way before schedule.
-
It was fucking annoying to say the least.
-
The radio commentary more than compensated, it was like listening to a football version of John Arlott.
-
Was it actually on proper, normal radio? Or just the audio coverage on the web site?
I listened to that a bit, and the audio quality was abysmal. It sounded like Alan Partridge doing a 1940s newsreel voiceover.
-
Listening to the audio feed or following the one line updates - it really is a tough choice......
I find listening to commentary presented by the team in question so one sided and partisan its embarrassing.

Just on the internet, we had the cricket on with the sound down and the Villa commentary warbling in the background. Apparently there's a sale of golf stuff in the Villa store.
-
I used this (H&V) website for updates on the game. AVTV seems to be aimed at a very young audience. Woodward needs to shape up or ship out - he is truly appalling.

I don't think he's appalling and I want a biased commentary - it's what I'm buying.

I will be asking for a refund.

WOODWARD OUT!!!
Ive been saying it for a few years now, but his voice goes through me. His style of presenting behind the microphone and camera is awful. Bring in the guy who used to do Fanzone on Sky Sports, At least he was a fan and you could relate to his passion for both the ups and downs of being a Villa fan.

I did that once. Then they stopped paying.
-
is avtv still free for season ticket holders?
-
I don't know whats wrong with you guys, Woodward is amazing
-
Hello Jack.
-
I think Woodward's all right, you're all being to hard on him.
-
is avtv still free for season ticket holders?
Up until the 31st July for last seasons, season ticket holders.
-
I think Woodward is pretty awful. He's like a sub-Partridge Alan Partridge.
However, in the world of broadcasting, it's hardly a glamour job he's got, so I don't really know what people expect in a position like that?
Also, whenever I have encountered other clubs' equivalents of him (via in-house commentaries) they all sound pretty much as bad.
-
I like Jack although they probably need to mix it up a bit and get another commentator on now and again to keep things fresh.
-
Reminds me of this sometimes!
-
Reminds me of this sometimes!
This is precisely why he's amazing.
'Albrighton by name, Albrighton by nature'
'BRETT HOLMAN, THE WIZARD OF OZ'
Terrible metaphors, awful nicknames, inept commentating. He's a comedy gold mine.
-
Woodward could use with less funnies and more football. This guy gets to talk to Lambert & some players every week. His questions do not have to be aggressive I would just like them to be more interesting and insightful.
-
Reminds me of this sometimes!
The match between Carthanage and Taste Of Dunfermline CANNOT BE STOPPED.
-
Jack Woodward sang 'Unforgettable' at the Villa 'Celebration of Life' Memorial Service a couple of months back. It was a sight to behold.
-
I'm sure I get it free but have never even bothered. From what little I've seen of it, it's divison 3 stayle jounalism....'in depth' interviews with players about their tastes in music (Phil Collins), favourite meal (pasta) etc etc ....just like Shoot! did in the 80's.
Anyone paying for this dirge should reconsider.
-
'in depth' interviews with players about their tastes in music (Phil Collins)
Grounds for Adrian Mutu-esque contract termination right there.

I agree. I presume last year's promo code has run out. I literally haven't received anything from the Club since I renewed, not even an acknowledgement - just the Zebra Finance payments going out.
-
I just logged on with my username and password. Shame there was f*ck all to watch.

yeah the club sent me an email saying the deal in principle was in place but other than zebra finance confirming it the club have not said anything to me. im sure i will be fine as L3 isnt the most popular area in the holte but after sitting there for the man city game im a convert from k4/5 in the upper holte.
-

I've been watching some old match highlights to try and get moneys worth (or as close to as possible) before I cancel it after the friendlies.
Enjoyed being reminded that Vassell was a very skillful footballer on his day. If he only had a bit more belief, composure and a bit of aggression he'd never have left us.
-
he's utterly bollocks. I can understand the need to throw in a little humour but if it's not in the least bit funny then it kind of defeats the objective. It's just corny and repetitive and the likes of Morle, McNaught and Blair, must be the most patient people in the world to listen to that drivel over and over again. If I have the misfortune of having to listen to him I almost don't want us to score to avoid the shit that he comes out with.As a PL football club you would think we could do a lot better than him.
-
I subscribed for the month to see some of the friendlies. Fat lot of good that has done me so far, although I did get to see the last few minutes of the Wycombe game.
Part of Woodwards problem is that his commentary seems to be dual purpose, being used both for pictures and for audio. This might explains why he often barely makes reference to what is happening on the pitch.
Aside from that he really does come up with some crass stuff. I had a look through the archive and came across an u-18 game against ManU at Carrington. He started banging on about how exciting it must be for our kids to play against them and I nearly burst a blood vessel.
We arseholed them 2-0, Jack. What an experience it must have been for the ManU lads to line up against the best academy in the country, you dickhead.
I then watched the league cup semi against ManU, and came to the conclusion that Jack is Kenneth Wolstenholme's love child.
-
Seems a nice enough, harmless fella - you could put up with him as a brother-in-law who visits once a year but his style is so "schoolboy trying to make an impression on work experience" that you just wish he'd do something different to alter his approach like get laid or something.
-
I hate him for those autoplay videos on the OS. I'd happily beat whoever insists on them to death with a mace. You go on the site to get a bit of news and Woodward's drone starts coming out my speakers scaring me stiff.

This. One of my pet hates. It's worse than an ill timed porn pop up.
-
I really am discombobulated by this site as well
I hadn't used AVTV last year but decided to sign up as i wanted to follow the friendly games, i put my code in from the season pack and it said it had already been used, i then tried to log in and all my passwords didn't work, i emailed the club thing telling them all that ^ and they just reset my password. This new password logs me into the site but not into AVTV, so i gave up on that.
Then i logged in today to try and buy tickets for Walsall and it says that I don't have the history to be able to buy them, despite being a season ticket holder for 10 odd years and going at least a few away games every year, it really is baffling scenes over at www.avfc.co.uk or @avfcofficial on twitter
-
I enjoyed the friendly on the service last weekend. Not sure what all the moaning is about.

Ta muchly. Just installed.

Woo-hoo!

That is a God send. Thanks
-
Just logged into my AVTV account to make sure it is working, it wont even let me watch highlights from the other friendly games (spinning timer thing), so I dont hold out much hope for tonight.
-
I'm another season ticket holder whose code for AVTV has expired, had to wait till the last renewal day to get a seasn ticket because we were moved to accommodate the 3D cameras and haven't been sent a new activation code yet so I can't watch the friendlies.
-
I had one emailed to me, have you checked your junk mail?
-

Same here. Clips I watched the other day are now just spinning timer. Maybe they are testing for tonight and have taken the system down.
Does Jack write the html as well?
-
The test video for tonight is working for me on the live events page. Maybe that's a good sign?

Log out and log in again, worked for me.
The ol' off and on again is second only to 'give it a tap with a hammer' when it comes to temperamental technology.

Not only does the OS commit the crime of autoplaying video which has audio, they even do it on pages which hold other video clips.
It's pretty poor, really.

An apology:
Dear LEE,
We would sincerely like to apologise to AVTV subscribers for the lack of video coverage against Wycombe on Saturday.
We had billed AVTV as the “only place to watch all of our six domestic games live”. But, as you’re more than aware, the transmission did not work for our encounter at Adams Park on Saturday. Due to technical problems experienced by our website partners Perform, we were unable to deliver the service we communicated with you earlier this month. We have been in close and regular contact with Perform since Saturday and they are immensely apologetic both to us as an organisation and to our fans.
The good news is that Perform have assured us that the technical problems have now been fully rectified and we will be showing the remaining five games live as planned as part of your subscription, including Luton v Villa tonight at 7.45pm.
In the meantime, you can watch the highlights from Wycombe v Villa - plus the exclusive interviews - right now on AVTV.
UTV!
The AVTV team

On an unrelated point, could someone please tell me Nicola Keye's e-mail address?

Nicola Keye, now that's a blast from the past, I used to work with her and Mick Keye, her husband.
Good Bloke, what does Nic Keye do at VP.

Funny, but I've been trying to watch the highlights and interviews all day, but none of it works.
-
Does anyone know if i can watch the match on my iphone if i pay the 2.50 subscription for one month? Dont have access to a pc. Thanks for any info.
-
Oh absolutely effing brilliant. Just logged on with my existing details and am now being asked to enter my ST Promo' code. Which I have not been sent. Useless bunch of twunts.
-
EH? When I enter my email address instead of my username it works fine.
-
Fuck me I have the 'live event will be starting shortly'.
Faulkner in!
-
Mine just doesn't work at all and it says last seasons code has already been used, i can log into avfc then avtv just tells me to purchase a subscription
I've been a season ticket holder for like 10 years, i don't see why i'm having such difficulties now
am i the only one having these particular difficulties?
I'm going into meltdown
-
Are you using your username or email address to log-in with?
-
And check your spam folder for AVTV's new code.
-
For those with a Blackberry z10 AVTV works on it,no need for a second sub
-
I've got that bastard spinning circle thingy. Although I tested it on another item on AVTV and it works fine. Hopefully the game works
-
I've got the LIVE EVENT WILL BE STARTING SHORTLY text with the scrolling bar of blocks underneath. Fingers crossed.

Thats a bad sign mate. You should have a "Live event starting" video stream.

Got it working now, customer service to the rescue!
Thank you Deepa if you're out there xx

See subsequent post, mate.
-
We have pictures.
-
Up and running bah't looks
-
My McGrath. It's working!
-
It is beautiful!
-
Bad news: Jack's back.
-
Luton cant get the ball off us!
-
Pretty decent picture too. I was expecting drawings.
-
I wish it wasn't working now!
-
I wish it wasn't working now!
It's not! Packed in just as 2nd half started. Brilliant
-
Utterly pathetic. Will be cancelling and demanding a refund tomorrow. This isn't the sort of shit a premier league club should be doing.
-
Mines gone all green first time I have tried to use this, it's crap.
-
live for 47 mins .................now dead - just like the performance.....................oh its back on
-
picture back villa half asleep
-
As the face and voice of AVTV I expect Jack to fall on his sword for this one
-
Christ. What a piss poor offer this is...

Okay I'll stop now.
-
I would gladly pay 4.99 a month for a decent reliable service. I was a subscriber years ago but cancelled because of the endless technical and subscription hassles. Seems not much has changed so am I likely to re subscribe? No prizes for the correct answer.
Also totally agree about those bloody videos starting up automatically on the website. End result I don't visit it.
-
If people are getting annoyed with the autoplaying video, go to the little panel its on and turn the volume down.
This may sound really obvious, but if you do that then it will remember the setting and stay quiet for every subsequent visit. Same goes for every other autoplaying video on the internet if you find any more.
-
An uplink problem at BT tower killed the pictures for a few minutes.
-
To apologise for the issue, we have arranged for a free month to be added to your AVTV subscription. This will be added to the end of your existing subscription and you do not need to do anything further. Perform have assured us that the technical problems have now been fully rectified and we will be showing the remaining five games live as planned as part of your subscription
Just checked my email pretty happy with that tbh.
-
I watched tonight's game and it was as good as watching sky, clear, smooth and jerk free. Sound was clear as well.
No complaints at all.
-
Yep, good picture throughout for me too. Will watch the next two games on there also.
-
Yup very good tonight. No complaints. Well aside from the fact we don't show the full games afterwards like other clubs but that's my usual complaint :)
-
I've started using AVTV again after about a 2 year absence, when I last used it you could watch games from as early as 03/04ish, I went to have a watch of some of the old derbies last night and they only go as far back as 2009ish now. They seem to have just decided they aren't going to let 5 or 6 seasons be shown on there anymore
Whats up with that?
-
AVTV back to norm it must be the most unprofessional streaming ever.Jerky missing in stretches and /woodward is sounding like Colin Crompton from the old Comedians show.This really is one area of the Villa setup that really needs attention.

Why aren't you at the game ? Bloody part time fan who makes no effort to follow his team ;)
BTW, do you want my programme from the Newport game ?
-
AVTV saying I don't have an active subscription. Does a code come through with the season ticket pack or something? I renewed ages ago.

Yes, it does.
-
Be interesting what they say when I renew my ST on Friday as I will want to watch the Shamrock game on Sunday.
-
I'm going to be interested to see what happens if my new season ticket pack doesn't arrive by Sunday, as last year's AVTV subscription has expired today. As I renewed my ST pretty much as soon as they announced the prices (March/April?), I will be pretty unimpressed if I have a gap in coverage. Why put an expiry date in before all the new packs a out?
-
Anyone else having trouble seeing the goals on the OS? All I get is the spinning wheel of doom.

No problem. The slightly higher-tech equivalent of turning it off for a bit, or hitting it with a hammer. Works every time.

Looks as though the club have picked up on this. This afternoon I got an email from them advising me of my AVTV activation code in case my ST pack hadn't turned up in time to renew my AVTV (free) subscription.
-
Pws I'd imagine they will do what they did to me and sent you 1 months free subscription. Then just activate the new code when it arrives
-

What they said to me is they'll make a note that I need the AVTV code and will try and get someone to email me with the code. I'm not overly confident so think there is a high probability that I won't be watching the Shamrock game.
-
Would you like mine?

Would you like mine?
Have I mentioned lately that I love you Legion?

Its naff that this does not work on the iPad.

Yes - today I have received both my season ticket pack AND an email with my access code! The husband did ask me why I was moaning about a problem that hadn't even happened yet, which is a fair point.

as an exile it is the closest we get to whats happening at villa park,thou its not the best it is an hour i enjoy here in oz
-
Jack stated in todays commentary that AVTV will be showing all the home U21s and NextGen games live.
Surprised this is not being used more as a selling point for AVTV as I'm seriously considering keeping it now as I only signed up to watch the friendlies.
-
Its naff that this does not work on the iPad.
Download the trial versions of 'puffin' and iswift/iswifter app to see which one works best for you. Use their browsers to get to AVTV. You could also buy photon app (no option of a trial, but you're going to have to pay anyway, only £2.99). I can guarantee they work, a tad temperamental at times but trial it first when a game is on then you can decide.
Or if its jailbroken you'll know where to go to get them free 😉

Really enjoyed the Dublin feature with Ian Taylor.
-
Yeah, especially loved the bit when a rosy-cheeked Dub, four sheets to the wind and with nothing but awe and love in his eyes said to him "You're a legend" followed by a woman downstairs in the pub knocking at the window to draw Tays' attention from outside, proudly showing him an old Villa shirt with his name and number on the back. Ian, the sport that he is, walked over to the window, pressed his face up against it and preceded to give the thrilled woman a, er, window snog.
-
Just watched a great video on there. All of Gabby's Premier league goals. Smashing.
-
I see Villa games on bet365 and the windows is so small and rubbish. Do AVTV support full screen HD streaming for people with HDTV linked to computer. Just wondering.

He's scored some absolute crackers, and just about every type imaginable.

My eyes and ears are bleeding!!!
-
I thought it was fairly amusing.
-
Reminds me of the really annoying priest (played by Graham Norton) in Father Ted.
-
What a cock hole.
-
Funny, his commentary in the bath is better than he does for matches ( which is still not saying a lot).
Perhaps plastic ducks are his level.
-
I'm under no doubts that Woodward and Alan Partridge were seperated at birth. Especially after watching a compilation of Partridge doing sports commentary recently.
-

Father Noel Furlong.
-
Oh dear
-
What a plank he is!
-
Lolorama.
I think Jack realises that "haterz gonna hate" so has decided to go the whole hog in his transformation from Woodward to Partridge. More believable than White to Heisenberg.
He could do with giving his puny pecs a workout though, it must be said.
-
How can you not love that man?
-
AVTV is also aimed toward kids as well as adults I suppose. It's a bit of harmless fun really although I do wonder if they'd had a couple of beers when they thought of it.
-
Kinda disconcerting watching him in ecstacy in bed, half-naked underneath his Villa duvet, excitedly shouting "A ripper! A dipper! The keeper done like a kipper - Matty Lowton!!!"
I dunno, sometimes I think commentators must get some sort of sexual frisson out of shit puns and phrases. The way they're shoe-horned into reports i.e. on Sky Sports News where the opening shot might be of something like a tractor on a pitch pre-season and the dickhead speaker spouting that the team in question are hoping that the harvest bears plenty of fruit for the season ahead or that they're hoping to "drive forward" this season.
Was there some edict long ago meaning this was the way to frame a report? Fair enough if it's funny. But when the comparisons are so laughably lame you wonder why they bother. I mean, Damon Green doesn't go in for that shite, does he?

New feature this week. An analysis of the opposition by Steve Froggatt. Surprisingly good.

Yeah, I don't often bother watching the pre-match shows any more (because they tend to be boring/terrible) but it was pretty good.
Although he said that there was no benefit to having wingers that play on the opposite side to their preferred foot - I'm no student of tactics, but I always thought the idea was that they could cut inside and shoot?
Also it was interesting what Froggatt said about how to play against Norwich - essentially that their strength is in their two holding midfielders, so if you want to beat them then you have to play with width. Please start Albrighton Lambert!

Against decent defenders, they can only cut inside and shoot if they are also capable of going past on the outside and getting a cross in with their weaker foot. Otherwise, a decent full back will "show them" the flank i.e. force them outside "all day long".
When he first started out in punditry, SF was not very good at all, but he is honed his craft. Fair play to him.

Yeah I think his point was when you have two wingers off their preferred foot then they both cut in losing you your width.
Anyway , yeah it was good. I look forward to the next one.

Watch all of Villa’s 2014 domestic pre-season friendlies LIVE on AVTV. Looks like they're making this a regular thing which is good.

It will be good, but that's only if it works. Last pre-season they monumentally screwed the pooch.

Then because of your indifference Des you are missing out on what is after all a freebie to season ticket holders. If you are paying a subscription then your are definitely daft. I had similar problems a couple of year ago which were quickly and pleasantly solved by email to support. One problem was because the previous year's season ticket membership expired before they started the new season but I think that has been sorted - I might find out tomorrow night!
-
It doesn't seem to work. It asks for a promo code which I don't have. Why can't you just put in the Client Reference Number off your Season Ticket, that would be easier?
I've emailed them.
-

That would make more sense but we're talking about Villa. Good luck.
-
And yet if I say to my missus that I want to watch every friendly on AVTV, I bet she'll moan and say that the World Cup has only just finished.
Women, they're so odd. ;)
-
Good luck.
Ta. I'll need it I reckon! Of course if the bastards could just arrange a friendly of a weekend I'd go and watch it and this wouldn't be a problem.
-
I have been a season ticket holder for years and I have never been able to access AVTV - it just sends me in an infuriating loop.

Parma on Saturday 9 August?
-
Yeah, I'll probably be at that one. I'm in a mood about all the friendlies at stadia that I haven't been to yet being on stupid days. As we never do anything in the cups, I like to use pre-season games to add to my list of grounds attended.
-
Got it working I think!
I emailed them and they sent me a code to put in. I just tried it out watching highlights of Villa 6 Blackburn 4.
If any ST holder is too lazy to write their own email you can just C&P this if you like...
To: customerservice@performgroup.com
"Dear Sir/Madam,
I was trying to log on to AVTV via the Aston Villa club website to ensure that I will be able to watch the team's pre-season games which start tomorrow.
It says I don't have an active subscription but, as I understand it, I should get access free as I am a season ticket holder (both for the previous and the upcoming season).
It asks for a promo code but I don't have it.
FYI, my details for the address and season ticket are as follows..."
Then put your details in.
Finish off with...
"Boomshanka, love and hugs,

Yeah the last train back tonight leaves about 10 minutes into the second half, which was a fat lot of use.

From the O/S
Our new season ticket holders for the 2014-15 campaign have been emailed start-up codes for AVTV this morning.
This ensures you will receive full access ahead of the live streaming of tonight's Mansfield v Villa friendly encounter.
We are also screening our first-team matches against Chesterfield, Walsall and Parma live on the club's in-house television channel.
New season ticket holders also can enjoy all the news and views surrounding the USA Tour 2014, including special features, press conferences, player interviews, audio commentary and match highlights.
Of course, your AVTV access will also enable you to look over all the pre-season videos currently on site, including an exclusive with manager Paul Lambert on the season ahead and an in-depth chat with Jores Okore about his return to full fitness.
There are also the first video interviews with newboys Joe Cole, Philippe Senderos and Kieran Richardson.
-
I've just signed up, well worth £5 for 5 live games
-
The stream was very good for me.
-
Apart from the sound going a bit iffy a couple of times it was very good quality. And lets be honest, losing Jack for a few seconds is hardly the worst thing that could happen.
-
I would quite happily pay the full subscription if they showed all the youth/reserve games live, been saying it for years but the general used to dodge the question bizarrely
-
They also steadfastly insist on only showing highlights of league games, other clubs show the full games.
Frustrating.
-
I think it's pretty good to have as part of your season ticket package. Like I said last night on the match forum though, they need to work on the sound on live matches.
-
By "work on the sound" do you mean go the whole hog and actually get Alan Partridge in?
-

Would we be able to prise him away from Norfolk Nights though? Besides, I can't imagine he'd get many tweets during half time to his 'who is the best lord?' poser.
-

That is exactly what I said last night, I do feel a bit sorry for him as he's on his own on the commentary
-
Can you watch it on the Ipad now or are we still in the 18th Century ( (c) Keeprighton)?
-
Was considering this last night, but overall don't think it is worth paying. Am sure I can see friendly highlights on Youtube or somewhere like that, and if they only show highlights of league games might as well just watch MOTD.
-

Works just fine on my blackberry playbook, then again that is also the only tab I've come across where I can happily watch live streaming from sites like wiziwig etc
-
You lot don't know how lucky you are. I've been trying to sign up for ages, but the website reckons my email address is "invalid", and my emails to support go unanswered.
No, the email address is not actually invalid. I use it every day.
-
Took about 4 attempts to get my login to work. Was fine after that though.
-
It usually works ok for me, not 100% great picture and you have to put up with Woodwood but better than nothing
I think i get charged about £4 a month for it which is hardly worth moaning about

-
This is my first go round with AVTV. Being from the States I need to find a way to watch matches. Does AVTV offer a live stream for all league games?
-
No.
-
I suspect the only games you'll be able to watch will be the ones Sky choose to televise.
I found this link for watching the Championship in America. No sure if it'll be any good.

-
This is my first go round with AVTV. Being from the States I need to find a way to watch matches. Does AVTV offer a live stream for all league games?
Unlikely. AVTV have always been pretty lazy. For example you could see every premier league Aston Villa game replayed in full. using AVTV's stream, on spanish TV over here when we were in the premier league, but never on AVTV itself (yeah crazy I know). This generally was not an issue because the non AVTV Premier Lgeaue coverage in the states is excellent, way better than the UK. You can watch every single PL game live
For the Championship even though the rights are even easier I assume AVTV will continue to take the lazy path and either only show highlights or crappy audio coverage only during games.
Beyond that Championship coverage in the states is relatively poor with usually 3 games or so each week.
Unless AVTV is going to miraculously start taking their job seriously I am afraid we are going to have less games to watch :(

I thought that I'd check out the Rotherham highlights on AVTV.
I've logged in but the video only plays for a minute before stopping.
It looks like I need to activate a subscription.
I thought that us ST holders got AVTV for free. Is that not the case any more ?

You should have been sent an email on the 18th July, which gave you instructions on how to subscribe for another season. If you didn't get one, email avtv.support@avfc.co.uk

Yes it is, you should have received an Email from them with an activation code.
-
Really frustrated with it. Tried to put promo code in and it said I was already subscribed for the season but when I go to watch anything it only plays for a minute and is still asking for a subscription. Thanks for the e-mail address
-
I've sent a email asking for the code.
The same thing happened last season.
-
Happens every year .......bloody useless
-
Agreed. And just like every year instead of putting up the full games (which they have) they instead chop it down to highlights.
This year it is doubly irritating knowing there is the full game footage right there but we cannot watch it because AVTV chooses not to show it and because we are in the Championship there are few streams of the full game out there archived. So frustrating.
-
Is it correct that they choose not to show full games or are there broadcast/digital rights restrictions ?
-
I can also only view a minute. Assumed it was my phone being crap.
-
Without logging in I could only view a one minute clip but once logged in I could view the full 9-10 minutes, but as others have said you need an activation code for this season's AVTV which was emailed to (apparently not all) ST holders 3 or 4 weeks ago

My was in my spam email box if that helps anyone locate their email.
-

As far as I am aware there are none. There are non for the Premier league (see ChelseaTV etc) so I doubt there are any for the Championship.
Its just pure lazyness from AVTV as far as anyone can tell. Hopefully Xia can get round to rooting out the slackers there that after he is done with the squad.
-
Looks like the entire media team has been cut massively, noticed before the game on Tuesday, they didn't have a pitch side camera showing the mascots on the big screen, just there names appeared. So I imagine the pitch side camera guy was one of the casulaites. I thought everything that appeared on the screens was a little amateurish compared to seasons past.
-
They just take the feed from the tv coverage for the screen. In the championship you've only got one camera angle unless it's covered as a tv game.
Only one pitch announcer aswell as last season Woodward used to do the midweek games so now the long serving PA Dave something has to do it.
-
I subscribe to AVTV and to be honest, it's pants. I used to like the pre match shows - even though the team were dire, but they are gone. Half the time video content (press conferences etc) turn up on the Villa FB page, or YouTube before the official site/AVTV and then are edited to death. The lady who kind of replaced Jack seems pretty good, even asks pertinent questions, but features are few and far between. It would be interesting to know if there are very few subscribers and so the club now view this as a free service to season ticket holders, hence the sort of bare bones approach. Its a shame, as it could be so much more!
-
Yeah the club seem to be using Facebook a lot more now which is logical.
I don't subscribe to AVTV nor have ever seen the point but really for anything to significantly pop up on there I think you'll have to wait until we get back in the prem again or maybe there might be a better product for next season.
-
Does the radio commentary only work if you subscribe to AVTV? I do subscribe but on a rolling monthly contract. I ask because the radio commentary didn't work for me at the start of the season when I wasn't subscribed (and hasn't worked for 1 game I think whilst I have been subscribed).
-
AVTV is intent on providing a third class service even after all these years of fans badgering them to improve by showing the full games not highlights.
Even Fulham shows the full games afterwards.

From that Fulham website, there's an article with their manager's comments after the game on Saturday. Sour grapes or are we bullies who don't play football right?
“We played very well first 45 minutes but we didn’t play behind Aston Villa in the second half. We tried to fix the problem but Aston Villa pushed us without the ball, pressed us, and won the game with muscle, and won the game without the ball.
“We weren’t solid enough, we showed less ambition and a lack of concentration. We didn’t play with enough personality second half and we paid a very expensive price.”
Once again, Fulham cruised the possession stakes, but Jokanović is keen to see his side add more of an edge to their game.
“I like to have possession of the ball,” he said. “I like trying to dominate the game, but it’s necessary to be solid, strong. Fouling is part of football.
“Aston Villa today are a team who use these rules very well, and we have to be stronger. This is the Championship, this is England, and we have to know where we are. Sometimes we are a little bit confused.”
-
15-11 in fouls.

You can have as much possession of the ball as you like when you don't even have the ambition to cross the half way line. Sour grapes and all that b
-
Aye. Not much point having 66% possession if you all manage is 4 off target shots.
-
For all their possession I don't think they got anywhere near our goal till about a minute before halftime and they didn't improve much second half either. What did they expect us to do, hand them the ball then bow down while letting them waltz through the pitch and score goal after goal? Bunch of titty babies.

I'd just like to say that I haven't seen or heard titty babies for a long time - excellent.

The club is doing a survey, probably to everyone whose email they have about AVTV next year. If you could help me (and possibly other fans) out and answer it I would appreciate it. A lot of the questions are whether AVTV should show full game replays next season if you could indicate you are in favour that would be even nicer. Other clubs do this and it means an awful lot to those of us overseas or in the UK who cannot get to games. Cheers.
-
That would be brilliant. My Dad would love it.
-
all villa games should be available to overseas supporters in my opinion
-
Away games should be available as a perk to season ticket holders. We pretty much always sell out so it's not like the home team would be losing out financially.

You say that like it's the clubs decision.
A. Is it even allowed ?
B. Would the home club not have a say in it ?
C. Who'd be supplying the technical stuff needed ?
-
The footage is already available from somewhere (the highlights are on AVTV every week), also I believe Fulham brings their own gear so we could do the same.
In the survey they talk about a few things outside of full game replays including some live games. I assume they know what the rights are.
Anyways, thanks to those who respond to the club and support it. Cheers!

It's got my vote, ciggiesnbeer, much as the radio broadcast serves as a 'fix' when we are not on TV, to be able to see all our games ( from abroad) , even on a delayed basis, would be a real bonus........Godzvilla! ( The mountains of Russia...you say ?! )

I suspect Sky would have something to say about that.
-
I think the Derby chairman was making the point a while back that for all the money and big clubs and big players in the league, just having one camera angle at the 3pm non TV games is a pretty amateurish way of doing things.
On my Bet 365 account I can watch any French, Italian, German or Spanish second division game and they are all properly covered. Numerous camera angles, multiple replays etc just like a premier league game.
It just seems odd to me a high profile game like SHA on Sunday just had one camera following the action which limits the ability to screen it elsewhere. Reminds me of football coverage in the 70s and 80s.
-
One camera is real football watching.
-
Kids today will never know how great it was to arrive at the ground and see the TV company vans there and know the game would be on TV.

Filled out the survey. It's shit enough that we are in the Championship let alone then having to watch games through someones fucking phone. So it would be ace for everyone including us foreign types to have access to full match coverage for a small fee.
-
Hear! Hear! Harrumph!
-
Apart from some friendlies games shouldn't be shown live on there imo, but I'm not sure why we don't/can't show the whole game a day or so later. I'm sure there'd be a significant increase in AVTV subs if you could watch the whole game at a later date.
-
I'm not sure how many of this season's games, even the wins, I'd like to watch in full after the game was over. Life's too short for reliving Brucey Pragmatism in full.

villa are one of the 11 clubs who have opted out of the EFL streaming deal, so we'll be stuck with AVTV...
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/39797400
-
Retains the option to do their own no? Either way we should be able to stream it seems! Woot!
"However, the EFL says that 11 clubs still have the provision to offer the streaming through their own digital providers including Aston Villa, Bristol City, Queens Park Rangers and Accrington Stanley."
-
Hence the questionnaire that was sent out by AVTV? So it seems that perhaps Villa are thinking of showing live games for those abroad that could be rebroadcast later for those in Britain and Ireland.
-
Well, those hopes dashed ...that bit of good news ( for we ex-pats) didn't last long , if it's now left in the hands of AVTV ,then we can kiss any thoughts of watching the Villa in foreign climes, adiós !....Godzvilla!
" Aston Villa and Leeds United are two of 11 Football League clubs who have declined to be involved with the EFL’s iFollow service deal.
iFollow is a streaming service that allows subscribers based outside of the UK and Ireland to watch up to 46 of their club’s league games live in HD at a cost £110 per season.
61 of the 72 Football League clubs agreed to be a part of the serve whilst Accrington Stanley, Birmingham City, Bristol City, Charlton Athletic, Derby County, Fulham, Newcastle United, QPR and Wolverhampton Wanderers all declined, meaning they can launch their own independent services, if they so wish.
It appears that Villa might be interested in launching their own unique service, but this is yet to be confirmed".
-
What happens when a team who said "yes" to EFL streaming plays a team who said "no"? Total blackout, or depends who's the home team?
-
Perhaps you will have to select a club at sign-up, so you can only watch theirs rather than dance around watching the Villa. As such, two Villa games would be available, but then you'd be "forced" to watch 44 games of Ipswich (for example)...

I've got the full subscription and it's been working fine up until the Fulham game, now for some reason I can only get audio commentary on my laptop not video.
Through the app on my iphone I can get the video but would prefer to watch on the bigger screen on my laptop.
Anyone else experienced the same?
Thanks!
-
It's working fine for me right now, though during the live stream on Saturday it stopped for about 5 minutes right when we scored the second. It did eventually come back though.
-
The firsts half the camera shake was really annoying. There were a couple of times I had to stop and reboot.
The commentary is deadly dull.

Yeh that is weird. Lame suggestion I know but try swapping out browsers. For whatever reason AVTV doesnt work with Safari at home, I must use chrome. I have heard other folks say the opposite so changing out browsers may help.

Not a happy man!!
I've just had the reminder that I can watch it.

I did too but I was emailing with AVTV yesterday to sort out the glitch with my subscription & he said they can't broadcast live game today - sent me this..

Sorry to resurrect this sorry topic but I've this misfortune to follow us via 'it'. I'm limited to watching on an Amazon tablet this weekend. Any idea how to add the app or is it possible to stream via the website. Sorry I have no ability with technology

Overall, my experience with the live coverage had been good.
However, recently I couldn't login to my account, and when I finally got in touch with them, they informed me they had cancelled my subscription as they couldn't take payments from my credit card.
After speaking to my bank, who claimed there was no issue with my card, I again contacted avtv about the matter. And am still waiting for a reply. Highly irritating

My experience of watching it through a computer has been very good apart from for one match when I couldn't get the stream and many people were having problems (they refunded me when I wrote to them.) I pay game by game as I don't know when if I'll always be able to watch and what games will be on telly. The one thing that irritates me is how they show replays of actions when the game is still going on. Also, the commentary is more professional than 'our Jack' (although I quite liked him sometimes), but it's not very exciting and I'm not sure why they don't have an ex-player co-commentating. But I'm nitpicking

Had a look on Twitter this morning - there were enough complaints from Saturday to ensure that I won't be buying any matches any time soon.
-
The stream on Saturday kept stopping.
-
So far for the Derby game absolutely terrible. Frozen several times and now isn’t even loading
-
what's the deal with refunds? todays stream is a joke
-
Not workin?

Ok, no idea why it is so difficult to navigate the site.
Got it now.

The front page of the main website is down and is giving an error message but if you go direct to AVTV then you can get to a web page. I'm still struggling to find the radio link though
AVTV (https://www.avfc.co.uk/AVTV)
edit: Finally got there but it defaulted to the Brentford match and I had to move it along to the current game manually.
-
so I have paid for the video coverage of this but there is no link anywhere to the game?
is bruce running the site?

It is there but not in an obvious place

On the whole it was ok today.
-
I have no problems with it nowadays. Works perfect every match

The live stream for the M-Boro game was pretty poor, best described as ´stuttering´. The Web Page looks like it´s been designed by someone who has a bad hangover , overly complicated is being nice............Godzvilla!

Can someone at the club please inform the clown who is commentating that the name is Grealish not Grellish. So annoying
-
Hmm - just got billed £13 pounds for AVTV "Live Video (Monthly) - £13 11 May 2018 to 11 Jun 2018"
Isn't this a kind of rip off, as no games are being shown again?

Me too, not happy at all about this - complete rip off!

I'm surprised you can hear him the volume is so low.

And who the fcuk is Horrahan?

It really is very poor. They have so often not got the sound right for audio only events so I suppose video was always likely not to work. A service not worthy of our football club.
Totally agree, never again , no more money down the AVTV drain.\iN THIS NEW World TECHNO;OGICAL era ....AVTV ARE STILL CAVE PAINTERS....GODZVILLA1
-
Agreed. It's 2018 and the feed is average at its very best. I think they know though from an AGM earlier in the year and are looking to improve it. Hopefully it won't be as much of issue next year as we will be in the PL and games/highlights etc will be much more accessible through better providers.
-
Absolute shower, AVTV. If the worst happens and we don’t go up, I hope we can pass the coverage over to ifollow.
-
Did actually try to listen in on this but was out of sync and thought it to do was position and location I was in and gave up .
Frustrating that the service has not been up to mark as signed up this season
-
Does anyone know how long after the match finishes is a recording of the game available to watch?
