...watching games online? As I live near London and have a two-year-old, I'm not able to attend too many matches at Villa Park these days. I've just been to two games (Huddersfield and Brentford) this season, both midweek evening games because that fits in better with being a daddy. I was worried that relegation to the Championship would mean missing out on watches our games online, however I've seen every game this season (except Bristol City away).
I'm not sure what the experience of streaming games live is like now, as I am busy entertaining my toddler at 3pm on a Saturday. My routine is to avoid the score/result and download the game to watch in the evening once my son has gone to bed. That has the added benefit of being an high-def experience and not having to endure a stream constantly dropping-out.
I'm unsure what the policy is on H&V for discussing downloading matches, so I won't name which website I use but it is free to use and the community there do an astonishing job of tracking down games (such as Ipswich v Aston Villa) and posting them up. They even break up the games into two files (first and second half) so you can watch the first whilst still downloading the second.
I'm sure a lot of posters on H&V live overseas, am curious as to how they are all managing on following Villa online this season..?
Update: please private message (PM) me if you want to know a bit more. I'm trying to reply to all the PMs I've received so far but there is a 20 PMs an hour policy here, so please bear with me!
-
Sounds like a great option. PM please?
-
PM me too please!!
Only games covered over here so far were Ipswich & Sheff Weds both away on Bein Sports.
I'm dying to watch a game at Villa Park and this Saturday would do very nicely.
Cheers IS!

If I am reading this right, these files are available after the game (or after each half?). So they are recordings and not live streams.

Me too please, I am in Canada so don't get much choice now we are in Div 2.

Vancouver, Left Side?

I'd appreciate a PM as well, if you don't mind. No TV stations in Norway showing Championship games at all.

Would be very welcome if there is still a PM going. Thanks!
-
I'd like a PM too please.
-
If you could send me a pm please I would be greatful
-
I'd bloody love a PM please. I use a couple of really decent quality streaming sites but getting out of bed at 3am in the hope that one of them will actually have a stream of a Championship game only to be disappointed and then having to try to get back to sleep lost it's novelty very quickly. Avoiding the score is easy for me so what you're talking about sounds ideal.
-
What's a pm? Could I have one too whatever they are 😄
-
pm me up please, cheers
-
Can I have a pm please.
-
Can I have a PM as well, as currently I'm having to get up at daft hours to watch

Can I not have a PM.
I'll continue to receive my dissapointment via accepted media outlets or directly from B6.
Thank you
-
I'd love a PM as well Ivo.
-
Whilst you may regret posting this after the 1000th pm request I hope I am in before the door shuts! greatly appreciated, being a dad does not mix well with an unhealthy obsession with the Villa
Cheers Ivo
-
Could I have a pm as well please, thanks a million! Cheers
-
Me too - many thanks in advance!
-
If you could pm me that would be fantastic and much appreciated :-)

Modbro is the best i have seen to date.
-
PM would be cool ta
-
You have to wonder why clubs don't do this sort of thing legitimately!
-
PM please Ivo ;)
-
I would love a PM please.
-
PM would be great if the door is still open :)
-

You mean like selling broadcasting rights to matches on a collective basis to media organisations?!
They should do it - I reckon the likes of Sky and BT Sports would be really interested!!! ;)

Ha bloody ha! I meant making the matches available on the club site if they're a) not being broadcast and b) over.
-
I'm gonna keep using the site I did last year. If it's on at all, it tends to be on there.

They won't be allowed to under the terms of the broadcasting agreements they have with the media outlets in each region.

I appreciate that, but surely it would be possible to negotiate the rights to stream the match after the event? Even if it's two days later.
-
Opened the thread hoping the first message would simply say:
" ... fight club?"
disappointed now :(
That said if there are PMs doing the rounds I'd like to add my name to the list of recipients.
-
PM for me too please.
-
Another PM if you don't mind.
-
Hey if theres PM's knocking about, throw one my way :)
-
PM for me too if possible.
Thanks!
-
May I please have a PM. Thank you

Hope you regain your fitness soon!

I would appreciate a PM also if possible fella?
Cheers!

If you could send me a pm also that would be most appreciated
-
Yes PM please (Hope hasn't been stopped. Posted this after reading page 1)

Could you PM me too, please.

Yes.
-
Instead of asking for a PM how about sending one direct to the poster concerned? Just a thought.
-
If it applies just to live streams and this is a recording then can't Ivo just post the link here?
-
The futures bright the futures KODI
-
Please me as well. Thank you.

Exactly. I bet the poor fecker is sorry he posted now. When there's a multitude of requests for one person to correspond to everyone, it would be far more efficient/fairer, if the first person who requested a PM then sent the contents/link onto the next person on the thread who requests and then he does likewise and so on so everyone requests but also replies to the next request.

In Thailand Prem is big, Many bars can choose which game they want on the screen.
Now it sucks, I have to rely on soccer saturday or hope its live in England on Sky or B.T.
So please PM me as would to love to watch my beloved boys again.
Cheers.
-
So thats basically the entire site want a PM. If you're not too tired of throwing these about, I'd very much appreciate one. Thanks
-
And a pm for me please

Yes.
So in which case, the link (to download not streaming) I'd be intersted to see, could be posted here, without breaching site rules.
Or am I wrong?
I'd also have to disable a few BBC sport app alerts etc!
-
Is there a send to all option? ;)
-
I'm gonna keep using the site I did last year. If it's on at all, it tends to be on there.
Can you help IS with his work load ;)
-
Ivo here again...
...if you want to know more (i.e. about that which I dare not speak), please PM me.
I've replied to all PMs I've received so far, except Fingers - you messaged me but you seem to be blocking my reply.
-
Got my message, cheers Ivo!!
-
Got my message, cheers Ivo!!
You are welcome, hope you find that information helpful. There are other alternative sites out there but they either display the score or want payment.
-
As a parent of toddlers, I'm in a similar boat re attending matches so I'd appreciate a pm too please.
-
Just to be clear, I don't want a PM.
I suffer enough watching them at Villa Park without witnessing the likes of Ipswich away!
-
Thanks Ivo.

So I think that's just you and me to resist the need for more dissapointment then Ad@m.
Incidentally, no offence Ivo, but this thread has got me wondering. Has there ever been a more tedious thread than this one? I'm sure one of the more 'vintaged' contributors can tell us if there has.
-
Tryed to pm you Stasy but wont let me ?? so one would be nice, thanks.

Will do in due course, I'm trying to reply to everyone who has sent me a PM, plus answer those requests for PMs here on the thread too, however I'm limited to 20 PMs an hour so please bear with me... I promise to try and reach everyone eventually :-)
-
How about, as Legion suggested, anyone who wants one to PM directly rather than putting it on here?
-
Sounds like Ivo's suffering from PM mess.
-
I'd just like to say thank you to those of you who have been replying to my PMs with sites or suggestions of your own. It's very interesting to hear about other fan's experiences and it certainly appears that I'm not the only one who leaves no stone unturned whilst attempting to follow the Villa from a distance.

I tried sending Ivo a PM but I just get an error message.

I hate ambiguous thread titles.
I like how it sits above other threads and makes random sentences
Are we allowed to talk about Jack Grealish
Are we allowed to talk about why Randy Lerner lost interest
Are we allowed to talk about Radio WM
Etc
