Dutv

Even simple Whatsapp group videos on the move at walking speed to a dozen people is much superior in all aspects apart from the immediate playback facility.

The united tv system is shyte, i have rarely have an uninterrupted match in several years.

To be fair, WhatsApp is owned and implemented by Facebook. A global IT behemoth.

I like the goals to be celebrated - need a bit of passion.

Scott Simpson as main commentator and dismal Dave as pundit is the best combo - the guy that took over and could not recognise any of the players at Partick match was awful

Club should really make sure that this is reliable

True, the streamers I’m talking about stream through YouTube or Kick although when their streams do go down which is rare they usually blame it on internet signal/modem when they’re on a train underground for example—something DUTV doesn’t have to deal with. We’re talking near 20 years of this issue. What other business could provide a bad service for that amount of time and still expect people to sign up for it?

[TerryTheTerror]

I agree, in 2023 this shouldn't be that hard especially considering they are asking folk to spend decent money on it.

If the evil empire has to be used or a similar one used as a DUTV channel then do so.

Not even an apology for recent tech issues and having to use Dunfermline feed on Saturday.

The arrogance is worrying.

You sound pretty savvy about this. Can you explain my earlier question? How come some guy wandering through the back streets of Nepal with all his gear in a backpack can livestream(in crystal clear definition too) to around 10,000 with next to zero loss of signal yet United can’t put out a trouble free 2 hour stream to a smaller number of people?
This has been going on well well before Asghar was there so can’t blame him for this one.

I can only imagine they are tied into using the platform they have. They are not streaming to everyone, only to the "platform" that then streams to everyone. They likely have 2 problems.

The initial feed is recorded on poor/old equipment and they are sending that to the platform at lower quality than they could. They may need better camera equipment or bandwidth to be able to send better base video feed. ( and audio for that matter). Then they are most likely paying for bandwidth that the supplier/platform uses, the stream to us users. This is probably set to a lower package and again the quality is lowered when it gets sent to us receiving the stream.

Up shot is it's down to money, costs of equipment, costs of internet connection/bandwidth and the cost of the platform supplying us the streams. They are maximising their cost to profit ratio.

Cheers for that.

Whatever the reasons it needs to be sorted out, folk are paying good money for this. If it's not possible for the club to provide a good service and make money out if this they shouldn't be doing it.
