£110 for all 46 games live, watch our promotion campaign in glorious HD from your armchair wherever you are!

Yes, this is great news. Saw it reported in the Birmingham Mail.
I think I'd happily pay the £100 odd quid.

Sorry meant to get back to you the other day VL. Yes this superb news. The days of watching games via someone's cell phone in the Upper Doug, or via some foul mouthed nose down at the sty appears to be a thing of the past.
-
From what I gather, Villa have declined this so may not be good news for expats. Please see page 16:

I am not an expat; I am an immigrant.

I'm presuming this means the games will be available for those with Kodi or suchlike?

Nice of them to have a conscience about making us watch another season of our awful "brand" of football.

its fuckers like you that are destroying France. Go back to where you come from whitey.
-
Am I correct in assuming AVTV is a bit shite and that's why people were excited about this new option?
-
I am not an expat; I am an immigrant.
Not if Marine has her way!
I think you're safe though.

AVTV is commentary only I believe?
If the club have declined the ifollow platform they will still have the option to show all the games through AVTV next season, at least that's how I read it?
Bloody better!!!!!

That old trout will find that I am getting my French nationality this month so she can felch my dog's arse.
-
Looks like AVTV will be broadcasting games live instead next season. Makes sense and I'm happy about that as long it's done well and the picture quality is good.
-
I'm more concerned about the content next season than the picture quality.
-
Not really great for me because there be many games in the week kicking of at 7.30 -8 pm and that be 3-4 am, No thanks.

3-4am would be perfect, my wife would be asleep.
-
Is this somehow restricted to international fans or is it also available to fans in the UK who can't always get to live games?

Yes you have a very good point but i'm not a quiet one, I have my moments getting up shouting at the screen and believe me i have watched the Villa many times in the early hours of the morning, Waking the kids up.
-
Will it be be possible for UK customer to buy it and use it via VPN ;)
-
I've just filled in a survey from the Club regarding live games for overseas fans. Disappointed to discover that while under Steve Bruce the games will be broadcast in black & white.
On a more serious note, anybody outside the UK that wants to contribute to the survey can do so here (http://bit.ly/2qM06NI).
-

I doubt Sky would allow that.
-
Is there an update from the club on the live streaming now that the survey has been closed?
-
No response from the club on Twitter to recent questions about streaming.

AVFC Support @AVFCSupport
We're hoping to release details of this within the next few weeks. Remember all of our pre-season games will be streamed live on YouTube

That's fantastic news, can't wait.

Any news on this? I do enjoy visiting legends on a Saturday morning but having the option to watch in bed would be great!

Note: the iOs and Andorid Club Mobile App links at the bottom of the article don't appear to be working yet.
-
Any news on how to subscribe to watch on laptop?
-
Still no actual link available to sign up for this - oh well since the Hull match is on Sky there's no rush.
Might I suggest that a Mod change the name of this thread to "AVTV Live" ?
-

Games are shown on be in sports in Melbourne but the Viila v Hull game isn't scheduled as far as I can see. Think I will away Foxtel away the only reason I stayed with them was because they promised to cover most Championship games. Anymore news on pay for streaming Yet.
-
As soon to be arrival ,to Nsw, what's the best way to see the games
-
Good luck Tony very disappointed in the championship coverage after seeing nearly all Villa games when in the premiership. Waiting to see if we will get AVTV coverage.

Links for AVTV Live are now available on the AVTV home page:

It doesn't appear to be allowing Seasonal subscriptions at the moment - when you click on "Buy Now" for Seasonal, the next screen is the monthly payment amount.
Oh FFS.
-
It doesnt say whether you get a full match replay like other clubs services do. Sigh. it also says to use the "contact us form" to ask questions. But of course no link to said form. le sigh. I guess I will spam a few AVTV emails and see if I can get an answer.
-
Works for me
-
There are no live Championship games on here in NZ this weekend. Last year there were two or three a weekend.
Bit pissed off and I might consider getting rid of Sky TV now.
-
Seems contracts are still to be signed, typical. Don't mind paying AVTV but it seems they make it difficult.
-

I've just asked about that on Facebook... I think I'd sign up, if matches were available afterwards.

@AVFCSupport on Twitter seem to be more engaged lately

AVFC Support confirms: Full match replays are part of the AVTV Live package

Worked for me, subscribed to the monthly pass 13 quid, bargain! ;D

Looks like the Sky EFL League & Cup matches will be shown (mainly) on ESPN3 & Watch ESPN in the US this season

could we use VPN to get round domestic restrictions ?

IIRC you have to put in a billing address when you subscribe - so it may not work from the start.
-
What about an overseas HandVer putting up a private stream, is that possible?
-
Club confirmed the AVTV comes with full match replays :)
Bought my yearly subscription :) Woot!!
-
Any idea how soon after the game they make full match replays available?
-
All signed up. Bring on the new season
-
For those of us in the US, ESPN is your friend - specifically ESPN 3. They will show the EFL this season. Saw Sund/Derby last night - and the Villa Match is scheduled too.obv

Ah thanks for that. I will tune in
-
Will they replay today's game on AVTV live?
Its on Bein Sport here but misses the first 20 mins.
Cheers, UTV!
-
Appreciate the ESPN tip - guess I can bin BeIN Sports now
-
Any idea how soon after the game they make full match replays available?
No idea yet. Previously on AVTV it took 48 hours or so. But when they do pre season games its right after the game.
Also no idea (presumably not) as to whether they do the replays for broadcast games which they dont stream live.
I guess we will find out pretty quick :)
-
Did anyone watch the game via the AVTV live feed? I put it on a couple of times during the game and it wasn't showing anything.

Really? The email I got says they show all games. Maybe I'm wrong but its no good to me if I can't get the games if Sky is showing them as I don't get Sky.

The flipside is you get to watch all the games we can't.

There is that. I don't mean to whinge but, well I suppose I am, but would have been nice to get all games. Though I get why they can't due to licensing etc

Did you get the audio commentary? I didn't or couldnt find it. Just a not working video stream.
-
I couldn't find the commentary either.
Toronto, the games shown live on sky are replayed later on AVTV live, or so I believe. Hope so!
-
I imagine I'll watch most games on my laptop at home, but I downloaded the official app on my iPhone in case I'm out and want to watch.
Trouble is I don't see a log in tab on the app and when I tried to get onto AVTV the screen went black and then the app closed.
Anyhow, I guess we'll find out in the coming weeks what we can and can't do.
-
So far it just doesnt work. No replays just highlights which are free for everyone. Not sure what I paid my money for to be honest. Maybe things will get fixed next week. I hope so.

Does anyone know if AVTV Live is all set for the game Saturday?...
-
I've just got an email from the club to say they are (despite me living in Blighty!).
-
No email for me, just a thank you last week - we've taken 13 quid from your CC.
-
Now comes the question of tech. How to get it fullscreen on the TV.
Would hope screen mirroring isn't only way (android).
-
I have a shite internet connection at home; I don't think I want to risk paying for the game. :-(
*Currently getting 80 Kb/s download speeds.
-
I've paid the £3 for audio commentary because I can't stand BBC WM
-
Aren't they just co-sending radio WM commentary?
-
I've paid for the month to check out this service. Is it only possible to watch games via your phone, or is it ok on a laptop?
Any advice appreciated!
-
Ah fuck it! I've paid for a game to see if my connection can hack it. Probably going to regret it (that is a bit of a polysemic statement).
-
I was about to pay for the season but given the long standing track record of AVTV tech failure, they've only got my money for one game at present. Using a laptop - no video at present, just background audio of the stadium. Same for others?
-
There was just brief video from the stadium then it went back to the background, still have audio though.
-

Oh crap!
I took it it was the commentary off the live video

available on your pc...I got in via AVTV Match Centre...the url showing is https://www.avfc.co.uk/live
-
I have sound but no picture. I'm wondering how they're going to Villa this up...
-
Tim, have you got the "PartofthePride" mosaic thing and just sound? I have
Edit. I now have "Countdown to kick-off"
-
I've got what I assume is the stadium audio and a #partofthepride mosaic screen.
-
Oh and that's on the web browser on the telly.
-
Now on a 5 minute countdown to kick off.
-
Ooooh! now there's a graphic with Jack Grealish on it!
-
And video.
-
My GOD! It WORKS! And it's not WM commentary.
-
I cant hear a bastard thing
EDIT - Got it now :)

Thank you very much mate!
-
I've managed to pay twice for one game. Also, my connection is not good enough and I'm not getting the video. We'd better fucking win 5-0 if I am to feel any better.
-
My video is worse than a dodgy stream. Keeps hacking and dropping out.
-
It's been excellent and crisp so far. I hope everyone elses is, too.
-
I can't get it to even connect FFS
-
Hang on, my phone seems to be able to get it...
-
Working very well for me, but on a 300MBPS connection. Video isn't quite Sky Sports but for what it is I'm almost impressed. Audio level seems low, that's all.
-
Does anyone know if you can use a VPN to access the service or will your billing address mean you can't? I presume it's because of sky sports that ireland is excluded from the offer, which is annoying.

I've tried a VPN. They've taken my money for video, but all I'm getting is audio.
-
Scrap that, changed browser. Now got video through VPN.
-
Works fine om iOS and Android, but can't load video on smart tv (webOS) and on PS4 - just tries to load but no stream
-
I kept having a problem.
I was listening from my laptop through the smart tv.
Every 5 minutes I got timed out. The audio would continue on the laptop (very quietly that's why I wanted it through the tv).
Pain in the butt and no idea how to solve it
-
Thank goodness I got it working in the end...
-
Scrap that, changed browser. Now got video through VPN.
What VPN do you use and is it easy to set up?
Shoot me for wanting to watch this shit.
-
Luckily I couldn't get it to work
-
Have anyone manage to get it working via VPN in UK ? Just asking.
-
All this talk of vpn is making me uneasy. If the club are watching.
There's no way around the geoblocking if you're in the UK you simply cannot watch.
A vpn service such as private internet access which I certainly didn't use today to watch the match would definitely not work at all so no point in trying.
You'd be wasting your time to simply make up an address in a foreign country as the sign up page and payment screen is far too sophisticated.
You with me?
-
I'm with you. Winky-wink.
For anyone interested, however, VPN services aren't illegal so are therefore perfectly legitimate to use - in what capacity, is up to you and your conscience.
They are generally subscription based, you always get what you pay for, so don't expect freebies.
-

Shoot me for wanting to watch this shit.
They're just a piece of software you download, register an account with and cough up, and connect to - no techy knowledge needed really. There are a multitude out there, and as I said in the previous post, mostly subscription based, so do some research as to what would suit your needs and read up on some reviews.
-
So far it is not worth the money. Sadly. Other clubs and the iFollow service get the match replays up 24 hours after. If you pay for AVTV Live you wait a week.
Frustrating.
edited for clarity. The live streaming works great so far.
-
Worked fine for me Saturday, unfortunately.
-
I managed to watch Saturdays game whilst on holiday in Hungary. This was not a good thing.

Got an annoying Guid (random letters digits) flashing every 30 seconds...
Probably to id subscriber in case of restreaming. But ffs

On the plus side the stream is excellent quality outside of that. No complaints.

Difficult part is keeping eyes open.
I'm using a computer (browser) and plugged it into hdmi port. Okay quality (seen smoother HD streams). Signed up on avfc for a season.

I feel the need to put a warning on here. Under no circumstances should you sign up to a VPN and use a foreign address. It might lead to you actually having to watch this shite.

After you buy the match or season on AVTV Just log in to the AVTV site (same as the main avfc one) and the stream for the match is below Plays right out of your browser. No flash or sillyness required. Works well.
-
Thanks mate.
-
Thanks mate.
Welcome. Just pay close attention to the country rules. If I was in the UK I would buy a single match first to see if my VPN could work. Also use PayPal if you can so there is no credit card address.

Good advice.
Netflix, for example, have succeeded in blocking 95% or more of VPN's/Proxies. It all depends on how much time, effort and dosh the site is prepared to invest into implementing and maintaining a black list of IP addresses/domains.
-
On the plus side, you may end up not watching us!
-
And to think, I was gutted 10 days ago when I realised that EFL games we'rent being shown in Oz this season. It's quite a relief right now.

Naaarich re run is up fyi. Faster than previous weeks, which is good.

Not sure how to fix this.
our local DSTV has also stopped showing championship games this year.
Any suggestions ?
-
is tonights game shown? I can't remember if they kept saying they couldn't show fridays game because on tv or this one, or both.

I am in France on holiday. Can I just pay the £6 and AVTV for the Bristol game on Friday?
-
If it's on, yes.

And to think, I was gutted 10 days ago when I realised that EFL games we'rent being shown in Oz this season. It's quite a relief right now.
Thinking of signing up for this are you happy with the quality.

Bristol game not on Friday because it's on sky
-
Wankers!
-
Thanks I will try it
-
That's a pisser , was looking forward to it!

You can buy a NOW TV sports day pass for £6 and will get the game

to be fair the stream is solid and has replays and commentary...far cry from the efl stream.

I have no idea how it is in Australia but here in California its solid as a rock and the picture quality & commentary is very good. I think they had some teething problems the first match but now they are finding their groove.
-
Curious, can you watch the full game later in the day if you happen to be out whilst shown live?
All I see are highlights..
I've got the full pass.
Thanks, UTV!

No they are irregular in getting the full game replays up. So far they are faster (within a day or so) when we win. For games we lose or draw they can take up to a week or more to get them out. Bristol is still not up yet for example. Whether this has things to do with SKY or AVTV's internal slowness i cant tell you.
