No full match replays on the Aviva website
Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere, the last few seasons the Aviva site has carried full match replays a few days after the match, now only highlight are available.
Does anyone know the reason for this as I cannot see that is is costing live viewing figures and the sponsors were getting extra airtime.
I personally hate highlights as they mainly consist of repeated shots of penalty kicks and the odd try, no scrums or line-outs unless there is a punch up!
Due to time differences most a lot of late kick offs are on too late for me to watch live and catching up a few days later was better than nothing.
I may have to move to Africa so I am in the same time zone!

Thanks, does anyone know if they are these official videos, I cannot find any info on SYCOSPORT who are posting the videos.
Re: No full match replays on the Aviva website
I used to watch these aswell.
Shame if they've gone, though in a way I was surprised it was available.

How what do you use for that?BeeJ wrote:And you can download them from YouTube.
Nowadays referees decide matches, players by how much.

Re: No full match replays on the Aviva website
They're back on the site, but it continues to be unreliable. Last year it just wouldn't play sometimes. They have a new player this year but so far I just get black screen with sound...

What browser are you using?maroontrunks wrote:They're back on the site, but it continues to be unreliable. Last year it just wouldn't play sometimes. They have a new player this year but so far I just get black screen with sound...
Last year I was using Firefox and had loads of problems trying to access the full match recordings. I contacted Aviva and they suggested either IE or Chrome. I changed to the latter and since then all has been OK.

I've just done an experiment and was able to download the full match recording of the Glaws match from Round 1. I dropped the resultant VLC file (approx. 2GB) to a memory stick, plugged it into my TV and it works a treat. It's definitely a better quality than the video capture system I was using last season.

Re: No full match replays on the Aviva website
I've tried Safari and Chrome. In Safari there's no picture, but if I go on the website of the plugin the test works. In Chrome it just doesn't do anything at all! I'm going to try updating flash! I'm a mac user btw.
Re: No full match replays on the Aviva website
I've never been a Mac user so I can't say if that's where your problem lies or not. It might be worth you dropping Aviva a line and explaining your situation.
