Back to top

Is the commentary Live?
Yes our commentary, and pictures from home matches, are broadcast live by our own commentators and camera folk. We are at all first team home and away matches capturing the action as it happens and all the post match player and manager's comments.

Back to top

Why is the broadcast delayed?
This is not a tape delayed broadcast. The broadcast feed is live and encoded up to the web immediately for you to view. However delays can be incurred as the stream is delivered to you from our servers to your machine. All live broadcasts over the web are delayed by between 20-90 seconds for technical reasons that we (and other web broadcasters) have no real control over. The technology is improving all the time and we're sure that in the next 18 months we'll see the delay reduced, but until then this is the best service we can offer.

The length of the delay is entirely dependant on your local ISP and how they route the live stream from our servers to your machine. The delay is also added to by any local buffering (default 10 seconds) within your media player along with a host of other small delays en-route. All this is usually very helpful when downloading streams or files however for live feeds it does make the stream appear delayed. We can assure you that the broadcast is sent out live but, unlike tv, delays are incurred during the transmission.

Back to top

I can only view clips in 'Full Screen' mode?
The problem you are experiencing relates to your video card driver requiring an update. Check for updates for the driver by accessing your Video Card manufacturers web site. To locate your Video Card information please use the following steps;

1. Select start
2. Then Settings
3. Then Control Panel
4. Select System

This will allow you to access the Video Card information from the Hardware Tab. If that doesn't solve the problem, turn down (or turn off) video acceleration. To do this in Windows Media Player 9 Series, go to the Options dialog box and look for this option on the Performance tab. As a final possibility, please try turning off video rendering: In Windows Media Player, click Options on the Tools menu. On the Performance tab, click Advanced. Clear the Use video mixing renderer check boxes in the Video Acceleration and DVD Video sections. Click OK, and then click OK.

Back to top

I have an Apple Mac, why can't I access?
As Microsoft Digital Rights Management (DRM) licence system is not fully supported on Mac OS, some limitations apply to MAC users, most specifically the ability to download clips is not available. This means that MAC users of this service should ensure they have sufficent bandwidth to stream the clips used.

Steps to get ATVO working in Safari on Apple Mac OS X:

1. Download and install Windows Media Components for Quicktime from: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx  

2. Quit and re-launch Safari. This step is important - it won't work until you actually quit Safari, not just close the window.

3. Everything works apart from downloading clips (streaming works fine).

In order to resolve the issue relating to the license expired message Close Internet Explorer. Delete all Temporary Internet Files and Cookies. Restart Internet Explorer and access the service.

How do I view clips?
If you wish to view or download the clips from the free area then simply press either Play or Download. The average time to download a clip using a 56k modem is displayed in the Clip Info box and is based on the size of the clip. If you try to view content in one of the subscription channels you will need to become a Subscriber to the service first. Once subscribed, from a technical perspective, we recommend that to provide the best results you use the following applications: - Windows Media Player (versions 6.4 onwards).

If you do not have Windows Media Player, please download the latest version from www.microsoft.com. - Internet Explorer (5.0 onwards are recommended). If you do not have Internet Explorer, please download the latest version from www.microsoft.com. Once you have downloaded the Player and Browser, simply select Med or Hi to stream the clip direct to your PC. If you have already successfully watched a clip on site, you have the Windows Media Player installed on your machine.

Back to top

I have a 56k modem - how should I access the clips?
It is essential that 56k users download their clips. To download footage, select a connection rate for your clip and then click on the download link.

Back to top

How long will it take to download a clip?
Download times will vary according to the length of the clip. As a guide, please allow for at least the following time for one minute of actual footage: Video Quality Connection Med (100kbps) Hi (300kbps) ADSL / T1 / Broadband 30 seconds 90 seconds Dual ISDN 1 minute 3 minutes Single ISDN 2 minutes 6 minutes 56k Modem 3½ minutes 10 minutes 28k Modem 6 minutes 18 minutes.

Back to top

Why can't I see the picture clearly?
If the video clip is buffering or stuttering you have either selected the wrong connection speed or there is congestion on the Internet. Check or "downgrade" these settings to a lower Viewing Options rate or choose a slower streaming speed (i.e. Medium) If you are accessing the video stream using a 56k modem you are strongly advised that in this case you download your clips.

Back to top

Why can I only access clips from one PC?
Digital Rights Management software restricts subscriber access to a single PC to ensure that only legitimate subscribers can access the service. It is crucial that you register from the PC from which you would like to access the service on an ongoing basis. If you have recently changed PC's or upgraded your version of Windows Media Player you may need to contact the customer support team.

Back to top

I get sound but no picture / I only get an image using Full Screen?
It is likely that the problem you are experiencing relates to your video card driver needing to be updated. Check for updates for the driver by accessing your Video Card manufacturers web site. To locate your Video Card information please use the following steps;

1. Select start
2. Then Settings
3. Then Control Panel
4. Select System

This will allow you to access the Video Card information from the Hardware Tab. If that doesn't solve the problem, turn down (or turn off) video acceleration.
