WA_Don Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 It's worth it, it has it'd moments but the team are quick to rectify mistakes Link to comment
Dal Riata Don Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm currently living in Australia and considering buying a red TV international subscription. Judging from the comments in this thread (and others), it looks like it can be pretty hit or miss... What's the scoop? Is it worth it?I'm a recent subscriber so I don't know how it will be on big match days. Otherwise it's fine. The live streams work well but the video clips don't load well for me and I have to refresh the browser [chrome] several times to watch historical game clips. Has a decent archive library but surprisingly none of it seems to have been remastered. The biggest thing against you will be the time difference. Try it on a monthly basis and see how it goes.

fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 RedTv is such a joke. They must get countless complaints for the shite service they provide in general.Not just the technical aspect, that always seems to fk up but the quality of their two main commentators also. That auld codger Greame Shinnie is a complete joke. Even Craig Broon would do a better job than him. The amount of mistakes he makes throughout a game is ridiculous & couple that with the biased red tinted specs mistakes & he actually gets more things wrong than he gets correct. Even with the benefit of replays & he still makes a cunt of most things. Twice (for example) in the St's post match he said how Rooney nicked a goal from O' Connor, the second time he even added 'for sure' when you can clearly see in the replays that O' Connors header is going wide of target. Not to mention his disrespectful comment regarding Andy Love. Even if he cannot remember him, he shouldn't blatantly disrespect him in the manner he did. It maybe came out wrong, or at least maybe not in the way he intended but he should be making a point of apologising to the Love family. He may have died a long time ago but 79 goals in ten years ( whilst not a great deal better than Mackie levels) is still worthy of some respect. I may add that I would love to be able to say I cannot remember players such as Mackie & Clangers but I cannot yet Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Andrew Shinie...Lol yeah right enough. My mistake. My apologies to his brothers namesake lol Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 It's gotten to the stage where I actually think RedTv deliberately have ' technical issues' for the first halves of each half, just so folk do not have to suffer this doddering auld fool Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Shinie... I really haven't taken any interest in who he is, only as I HEARD it but never noticed it written so forgive my adding of another n as it sounds like a double n Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 They really should try & replace him in the commentary team, he's useless at it.Fair enough if they don't want to sack him then let him do post match etc. (but give the cunt a script please) but get him away from the live commentary ffs Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 & my humble apologies also to the Love family & Andrews record being close to Darren Mackies.I have just checked now & Mackie had almost 100 more games & 4 more years at the club but still only scored 58 goals to Loves 79 Loves goals to games record being almost twice as good. At in in just over 2 & 1/2 games to Makies 1 in over 5 games Link to comment
Singapore Steve Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Red TV just got renewed. Did not ask for it either, just automatically renewed. Really hope these thieving gipsies up their game this year. Link to comment

Judging from the comments in this thread (and others), it looks like it can be pretty hit or miss... What's the scoop? Is it worth it? Purely depends how much you really want to see games "live". The commentary is crap, and half the games they don't cover for one reason or another but there are still enough covered that I think its just about worthwhile. Link to comment
Redforever86 Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The camera man and/or whoever edits the live footage also fucked up for the first goal last game. Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 It’s pish. Their IP address check is fucked as well. Shows me in UK when I’m in Oman. Denied responsibility despite every other app showing me in Oman. Terrible and not worth bothering with. Link to comment

dervish Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 I've never had any problems recently. Commentary is similar to two borderline irritating randoms at times. Still though can get plenty games live, where doubt you'd get a dodgy stream and even if you did wouldn't be half as good. Link to comment
fine-n-dandy Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The step up in price from UK tonInternational would be worth it if they screened all live games & without technical issues but when it's so fkn hit & miss & clubs like fkn Patrick & Hamilton are providing better quality. It's a fkn joke.Add to that the chuckle brothers doing Commentary & its computer smashingly frustration at times Link to comment
Woodside Don Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 Their IP address check is fucked as well. Shows me in UK when I’m in Oman.You sure its their end that's fooked buddy? Link to comment
WA_Don Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Purely depends how much you really want to see games "live". The commentary is crap, and half the games they don't cover for one reason or another but there are still enough covered that I think its just about worthwhile.They only cover all the home games and the away games thst are on TV. If it isn't on TV it's a delayed broadcast by a few hours. For what your paying, and where the money is going I think it's very fair, but I agree on the commentators, need new ones Link to comment
The Boofon Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 You sure its their end that's fooked buddy?Yeah. No access to BBC I Player, ITV Player etc. All say Im out of the Uk so cant watch. Red TV insisting Im in the UK. Either every app that needs me in Uk is wrong, Im dreaming and not actually in the middle of the Omani desert or Red TV are right. 100% their fault. Link to comment
dervish Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Just get hotspot shield. You can get a lifetime membership. Not cheap but works every time. Though for really high data rates you're better going for France or something rather than say USA. Link to comment

Im not installing stuff on my equipment to bypass something that isnt required to be bypassed. Fuck them. Shower of incompetent cunts. Link to comment
Oregon Red Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 It works OK for me now. Eary in the season it was messed up. But last few games great Link to comment

Pretty sure some guy at pittodrie never put the Oman plug in the UK plug. Your rage is misdirected. 1 Link to comment

tup Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Boofon having a bad day in the desert Red TV is absolutely pish, a complete waste of money. Despite that, I still subscribe. But I've never once looked at it apart from for the European game. Link to comment
Betty Swallicks Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 RedTV International is decent! Had it when working in Dubai. Get to see the vast majority of the games (granted the commentary is poor).For under a tenner a month its worth it. 1 1 Link to comment
