huangkwokhau 03-03-2008, 05:52 AM I saw the advertisement: sunset and vine....it is in LA...new junction...hm is that US based TV? did not see we have to pay...
drifit 03-03-2008, 07:40 AM qualifying...... free for view = free of charge
after that, not mention that is free = pls pay to view
video on demand = definitely need to pay.....;)
same as the traffic sign, no u-turn sign, cant make u-turn.....:p
robin7 03-03-2008, 11:20 AM Interesting but never head abt it.
Note: Kindly check your grammar on your thread title.
madbad 03-03-2008, 11:49 AM At least you can see the qualifying for free and decide if it's worth paying to watch the tournament proper

Yep i got an e-mail from Badminton England today introducing me to this new badminton broadband TV, (good idea) but this is what they have written about it
Full e-mail
Dear All
After many months of discussions and planning, I am delighted to announce the launch of our new broadband TV service - planetbadminton.tv (http://planetbadminton.tv/). This has been made possible through our relationship with Sunset + Vine, our current TV Sales and Production partner.
planetbadminton offers live on demand, pay per view and also access to archive. We will also be launching a subscription service after the All England. It allows anyone, anywhere in the world to view the All England and we are also currently discussing the building of further content with the aim of having one of the best broadband sports channels.
The web address is www.planetbadminton.tv (http://www.planetbadminton.tv/) and this currently lists what we are showing. We kick off with free streaming on Tuesday before Pay per View comes into effect from Wednesday onwards. Please note that due to our current TV contract with Sky, we are unable to broadcast streaming live from the 1/4 finals onwards.
We have also launched a promo on You Tube which can be seen by clicking onto http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mj4HfD3Gotw&feature=user
This is a massive step forwards for us as we continue to develop greater exposure for our sport. It also offers us a significant revenue stream.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank everyone, in whatever role you have played, in the preparation of this years All England.
I can't wait to get to Birmingham on Tuesday and to enjoy another fantastic Championships.
I look forward to seeing you there.
Best wishes
From this e-mail it shows that its not free.....:(

Oldhand 03-03-2008, 10:06 PM Great choice of sequence for your rolling promo ;)
Have you decided what your PPV rates are gonna be?
Must say that PPV is a bit daunting for the early rounds :o
demolidor 03-04-2008, 07:32 AM (Already) Read about it in the All England thread so just wondering now what format it is/ will be: flash or wmv?

Vaido 03-04-2008, 10:34 AM Works OK here in Estonia... quite ok in full screen also...

thank you for the link,very clear and smooth:D:D
madbad 03-04-2008, 01:41 PM Mmmm... guess it doesn't like Macs. Nothing happening :rolleyes:
Wong8Egg 03-04-2008, 02:19 PM Looks nice and clear, but there is no alternative view/angle beside the center view.
Oldhand 03-04-2008, 02:26 PM The streaming is quite smooth.
I'm using a standalone player (Real Player) :)
What's annoying is the fixed angle... a very long shot too :o
No reverse angles, no close-ups... and, of course, no replays!

Never mind the boring fixed angle and missing replays, reverse angles and close-ups ... for those who were not online at time I made some test recordings... also using Real Player and the format is .irv (internet video recording :D, grin means irv in Estonian :D)... not sure if or what other players can do with that one:( ...
MXD - Qualification Michal Logosz [POL] Natalie Munt [ENG] - Mikkel Delbo Larsen - Mie Schjoett-Kristensen [DEN]
http://rapidshare.com/users/QFH6UB
I cannot remember that I had seen those players before here... so I hope that at least here are some of their fellows and fans who can enjoy those videos :) ... or they can see themselves :)
I liked Michal and Natalie co-operation, well done ;)
Any comments are welcome... I had recorded the 2nd session "as is" also... in reality I was in training and my son switched it to recording 1-2 minutes after the session started... probably also the 2nd court but haven't had time to look and check so far... it's 455MB so if anybody is interested and can use I can upload it in the same way...
From 1st session I have also something :
WS - Qualification Firdasari Adriyanti [INA] -[POL] Agnieszka Wojtkowska
probably without end as I had to change the hard drive letter:( and it didn't worked that way very well...
MS - Qualification Rune Ulsing[DEN] -[DEN] Christian Lind Thomsen
only beginning of 1st game as the session ended...
when looking Live and checking the Live Score the video was little bit late... but that was only way to keep the score updated... when I looked those just now then Real Player showed it like slo-mo but maybe I need to make restart to my PC... but maybe it's normal for such streaming appearences...
jack200603 03-05-2008, 05:06 AM Thanks Vaido. Look forward to watch session 2 after 1900 last night if you could kindly upload. It didnot seem to be shown as it said though.
Foreverlove 03-05-2008, 06:49 AM what annoying me is: it only broadcast games on Court2, and can't select game on your decision.
jimbo 03-06-2008, 12:30 PM Is it free? I tried to log in after registration, it prompted me to choose the payments. Can I watch it for free? :(
Vaido 03-06-2008, 05:19 PM Is it free? I tried to log in after registration, it prompted me to choose the payments. Can I watch it for free? :(
So far it was free... archive/first days wanted the payment but to watch it was free... another problem is of you can get a stream... today stopped stream to upload some files during the pause but later it was just buffering and buffering and didn't catch the stream at all any more:(...
maybe too many people were already watching or whatever communication problems...
Anyway an excellent idea and the content was getting better with every day... good commenting and more angles and cameras were used during the 3rd day:)
Foreverlove 03-07-2008, 05:03 AM It is actually not free, but the price is very low and the quality is very good.
One problem is: it only cover the games on court 2, so you may not be able to watch the game of your favorite player. anyway, better than nothing.
I got a question,
is there anybody knows how to download the videos from there?
there are some achieved videos.
Vaido 03-07-2008, 05:16 AM I got a question,

Here the screenshot how I see it... if you are going to top edge there appears a special bar for downloading and also with right click on streaming window there appears on lower bar the download option... I have installed Real Plaeyer so I am not sure if it works the same way with other players...

Thanks, but I think it works with WMP only, from the properties of the file, it shows there is not file at the end the link, just like an empty folder, what we can download from such a folder?
