Boskos Angel Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Just watched the pre match show, with Merson. Have to say it was a very good watch, loved the way he spoke of his fondness for Villa and the Villa fans. Top guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also a quick question for people, I got given free AVTV from the club, my subscription status is 'Annual Subscription'. Does that mean I got it for a year? Could somebody with a yearly sub check their status for me please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say a renewal date or expiration date? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdomlahor Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The pre-match shows are rubbish imo. They're usually just made up of other videos they've already uploaded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does it say a renewal date or expiration date? Nope no date which is why I'm confused. Apparently I got a free month of subscription after I canceled because of the mess up with the friendlies, as compensation. I guess we'll see, but if it was a free month then it should have ran out 2 days ago. Strange indeed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliffy Biro Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 The pre-match shows are rubbish imo. They're usually just made up of other videos they've already uploaded. I was thinking this watching it yesterday, tis poor. Merson gave some pretty shit analysis aswell as mispronouncing every single players name adding a z to wiemann in the process. I cancelled yesterday after getting august for free in the preseason shambles and i just said in the comments even though a fiver a month isnt a a lot avtv still doesn't offer the content for me to warrant a year round subscription.

myko Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Today's "pre-match" show was somehow even more ridiculously awful than usual. A fifteen minute interview with a groundsman about **** all people care about, followed by regurgitated interviews from Lambert and Weimann. It's absolutely ludicrous that they charge £45 a year for this half hearted "service". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 (edited) To be fair I actually think it's quite a nice touch to give the groundsmen a bit of exposure and putting it in the pre-match show makes sure people have to watch it. A standalone 'The making of Villa Park's pitch' feature I couldn't see getting too many views! My biggest issue is I can't get out of my head Jack Woodward being the lovechild of Paul Bettany and Mina Suvari. Edit: Now I'm watching, I might have to take that sentiment back...

spiezels Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I applied for this role when I was back at uni. If I didn't have a staff job now I'd be all over it. Hope the Russian lad gets it anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KjParton Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Anyone watched AVTV recently? the latest pre match show for Fulham is actually really good. Shows different camera angle highlights of the Southampton win, interviews with Lambo and Delph, some good graphics being used etc... Looks like it has improved, also Villa have decided to go down the Man City route and upload free videos to youtube of the players doing some christmas wrapping challenge which is quite good as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose this is nitpicking but not all of those are skills. All the ones mentioning experience aren't skills. And I hardly think "To be comfortable with live outside broadcasts." is a skill either. "Relevant technical skills. The ability to work to a brief. The ability to work quickly. The ability to repair and maintain equipment" are all very vague - yeh, I've got relevant skills and I can work to a brief, work quickly, repair and maintain equipment. Great, you've got the job! Hope they get the right person! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, good pre-game show: Lots of old goals including Albrighton's, and Woodward in a Villa onesie A good view of Delph's pass to Gabby for the first at So'ton. I thought the defender should have cut it out, but it was actually too good a pass for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan_007 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 And I hardly think "To be comfortable with live outside broadcasts." is a skill either. So I guess you work in TV and know the fundamental differences from inside and outside broadcasting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCRAMTIN Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm thinking of buying AVTV membership for a year, is it something you guys would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skruff Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 I'm thinking of buying AVTV membership for a year, is it something you guys would recommend? Nope, check it out for one month first. I certainly wasn't happy with the product 4 months ago. But they might have improved, by the sound of it. So I suggest you check it out for a month before you do something as rash as paying for 12. I'm gonna start my subscription again to so how it is now myself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrackpotForeigner Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) AVTV videos don't work on my laptop Have you installed the flash player?? I find I have to do a forced logout and log in again to get them to work. A bit of a PITA, but it does get 'em working.
