Assuming you’ve signed up for it and are in the Vimeo app, go to the library tab on left hand side and you should see Widnes TV under purchases?

I’m away in a hotel and using Vimeo app on fire stick.

All the videos seem to be full screen except the full match which has a border all the way around. Anyone else having this problem?

Tried it on iPad and just borders top and bottom.  Teething problems!

The training videos etc really are good quality. I’m sure they will improve too as the season progresses. Commentary really will be critical going forwards though so I hope they get it sorted quickly before people start moaning!

I can see this being a great little service and a good income stream.

not sure what to suggest! If you’re using it on an app, try deleting the app and reinstalling perhaps? Maybe try going into the website and logging in there to see if that works?

otherwise you might need to contact them?

I don’t want to be negative as we all know this is a work in progress but the video looks amateurish and can’t hardly make out the players when I AirPlay to my tv

i am hoping that someone from the club sees my comments and takes it as productive criticism

If it’s possible to film from a higher location at the next stadium 🏟 and possibly a better camera. I understand it’s not sky sports and not expecting that but for people to continue to use the service it needs vast improvement

I thought the game video was a decent first effort.

I'm not sure if you've seen the ground from last week McKV, the only way they could film from any higher would be by climbing on the roof of the stands.

I'm sure this weeks game will look a lot better with the elevated view at our ground.

Really good idea and hope it takes off and generates a lot of cash for the club for little outgoings.

Have to agree with McK picture was very poor. Could not make out who players were and no idea what was happening at far ends of ground, this video was in my opinion the one given to the RL for disciplinary purposes and not fit for broadcasting. I know its early doors but last year i bought a Featherstone DVD from their TV and it was first class with excellent picture and commentary, this is what i was expecting or better.

In fairness the video from Oldham will have been filmed by Oldham. The games at Widnes I would expect to be of higher quality as the club will be filming them themselves. Away matches we're probably going to get a bit of a mixed bag in quality terms this season and there's not much the club can do about it.

we all want this to a success and bring in money for the club, I understand the Oldham stadium had limited views that’s why I said at the next stadium. Surely we can all agree that people walking in front of the camera is not acceptable for a paid service

i was half expecting the same quality of OurLeague app or not far off but it was a million miles from that. I have seen better videos of amateur games loaded onto YouTube for free viewing

are there any film studies students at Liverpool university that could come over on match days with all the kit from uni and use widnes games as there coursework. If the club can’t do it to a higher standard people won’t sign up to the service and or won’t renew membership
