You can watch online also, I think someone posted this link before, but I can't find it. Anyway it's free from Tue - Sun.
I remember you could watch for free last year as well. Good website.

ah, the swiss are the best.
that's the way to promote badminton!
i'm sure it doesn't cost the badminton associations too much to fund these livestreams.

but wasn't that free for only the round prior to QF or SF? it also shows just the one court. correct me if i'm wrong!

but wasn't that free for only the round prior to QF or SF? it also shows just the one court. correct me if i'm wrong!

have you opened the link? it says free from tuesday until sunday, which means from the first qualifying day until the final.
as for one court or more, i don't remember it very well, i think they showed 2 courts last year.

it's slightly confusing, but if you read the whole section, you'll get all the info you need ....

Here's the German Version:

I think it roughly says that fans can watch free badminton from the www.swissopen.com website for free from Tuesday until Friday, shown on all four courts but without commentary and graphics (?)

And on Saturday until Sunday, fans must download the program at www.zattoo.com to watch Swiss open live and with commentary for free.

Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't used my German for 4 years already.

Hey guys and gals!
I signed up at www.zattoo.com (http://www.zattoo.com) and downloaded the player. It's quite cool! There's various European channels.. Hahaha

..i'm sure the rest of the BC bandwagoners will join in the party, w/you, soon...;):cool:

Not available for US......sigh!

Haha, it was and is free to begin with so there really is no legit reason te be :mad:;). I can't even watch it myself!
I'm sure you can pay to watch it on wob tv or something or some p2p tv somewhere. And indeed you can still watch for free like always from the swissopen website untill QF. Even the entry to the Swiss Open is free untill the QF, like always :cool:. What other SS event can claim that?

Errr, anyone know how to watch from Swiss Open website? they didnt put up any link

Errr, anyone know how to watch from Swiss Open website? they didnt put up any link

Yup, now you are right and can put as many :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: as you like. 1 out of 2 streams would still be perfect but 0 out of 2 :rolleyes:. I've been waiting to record with 2 computers the whole time and especially around now would've been nice to see something.

According to P2P Guide, GD Sports, CCTV 5, Shanghai, Beijing, all NOT showing Semis or Finals of Swiss O.

You cant it get in Netherlands kah?
Nope, also here in Germany...I can use Zattoo but there's no channel showing Swiss Open

They could at least inform people about what's going on...poor job!

glad i'm not the only one, i've been looking for 10 mins to find the link, have clicked just about everything!

Well, I guess I'm late to the party. I'm being put on waiting list. Zattoo will send me an invitation when it is available. I hope they will send it to me in time for the tournament.

Badboypedi said it's called something like "Swiss Open Badminton"...

BTW: Is there anybody else who can watch it on zattoo???

..needs to share the wealth more...:p..Don't they know there are more fanatic baddy fans here in Canada & U.S., who'll push aside their jobs & stay up all night just to watch baddy matches??..;)

swiss open badminton oder so..habs schon wieder gelöscht, weil quali/empfang schlecht sind....

i don't have any channel called "swiss open badminton" either... :confused::confused::confused::crying:

I don't think is there yet....I downloaded and well and no channel called 'swiss open' is appear...
gonna ask my twin who lives in Switzerland, maybe she knows which tv channel aired Swiss Open

im in the uk and using zatoo.. cannot see any badminton on any of the channels on the list :(

can anyone see any badminton on zattoo??

hi Zaddie, i'm also in the uk.... i don't think its there yet...still waiting for my twin answer's in which channel it will be on in Swiss

Well, it seems badboypedi was the only one, lol!

hehe.. ok.. if anyone sees any sign of any badminton on zattoo, (probably tommorow now) then keep us posted :)

i made a screenshot of my desktop and as you see, it even works...the channel is called wilson badminton swiss open

It's not on any tv channel yet, only in the weekend. During the week Zattoo will have the same stream as the regular website but just one court at a time with I guess whatever match they think is interesting. As for the weekend it will probably be on TeleBasel. Also on SF2 starting at 1540 on Sunday. Maybe on one of the french language channels as well ...

@badboypedi: Does it still work for you?

i made a screenshot of my desktop and as you see, it even works...the channel is called wilson badminton swiss open
http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/258d-a-jpg.html (http://www.bilder-hochladen.net/files/258d-a-jpg.html)

:D Not even a Hattrick (www.hattrick.org) bookmark :rolleyes: But that is indeed like the regular live-stream from the swissopen website.

ok so why can i not see this channel on my list? how do u add the channel pls :S

Does it still work for you?

YES, it does!! i dont understand why all the people have the problems here?! thats very strange...


BUT: the quality is very poor and it stucks ofen, even with my 6000 kb bandwith!!! its not worth to try and try and try a zillion times to get the poor-quality-stucking stream playing ;)

ok so why can i not see this channel on my list? how do u add the channel pls :S


i dint add anything..i just installed the prog and the channel was on top of my list....i downloaded the file named "Zattoo-3.1.0beta.exe" for windows...i use windows xp service pack one...i dont know if this helps anbody to understand the problem...

The channel was up for me too a few hours ago. When I first started zattoo it wasn't availabe but later it was on the list without me doing anything, so it's just not put up all the time. Glad I'll probably be able to watch the matches, but pretty bad for the non-Europe fans who can't use Zattoo...hopefully they'll put up the streaming on the website too

Did you have to log in once again or did the channel appear without doing anything?

Well I had the pc turned off so yeah logging in once again could help

Interesting! So let's hope for a better tomorrow...;)

Looks like they have changed the text. Livestream now only through Zattoo as it no longer says "in addition" / zusätlich ...
So enjoy the stream all of you in the amazing number of eight countries :rolleyes:. At least you won't have to worry about too many viewers this time :p.

They should have just used Joost, if that's possible technically.

Still not working for me...

Today it's working but lagging
Can watch from 3 courts : 1,3,4. Court 2 is for Zatoo channel

Just saw next post, and try to dl the software, Zatton is not available in US yet.

Hi Yannie,

You seem to be accessing the Zattoo website from a country we do not serve yet. Please enter your country of residence below, and when our service is available there, we will contact you. You're high on the waiting list, and we look forward to serving you.

haha omg its working now, like less then a minute after my last post, and guess what? the match is over, all i saw were WD players walking off xDD haha just my luck

Lin Dan is playing at 7:30pm Swiss time. I hope it won't be streaming on Zattoo channel.

doesn't matter if it's on the zattoo channel, you can watch all of them from the swissopen site today.

is there any live for malaysian tv ( or astro) for semi and final? ..

not even started my streaming alr lagging!!stupid tmnuts isp

Is CCTV5 showing Swiss Open live tonite? if not, any online channels? :)

which semi final matches will astro super sports broadcasting live??

which semi final matches will astro super sports broadcasting live??

astro is broadcasting live but when is lee chong wei playing?

lcw is playing after zakry plays......4th match of the night

I have tried to find a stream all night (Guang Dong Sports, Swiss Open Website, rtm1 Malaysia) and i think im giving up. And for your info if anyone is wondering, the swiss website sucks, it just doesnt work for me and I am sure I am not alone. I am a Malaysian staying in Singapore, and it really sucks that they are not showing it. sigh. Guess i am doomed. Gnite.

Asia is always on the loosing end... too bad.

Today (Saturday), I cannot get the links to live stream any more. Any update on this will be much appreciated, thanks.

There has never been livestreaming for the semifinal and final. I'm sure Astro wouldn't pay as much as they do if everyone could just watch the livestream.
Besides it already said from the beginning livestream would only be untill QF and for semifinal and final only on zattoo, if it works and in most countries it doesn't. That probably has something to do with tv rights, just like why there probably is no livestream on the swiss open website, capiche?! ;)

I'm sure it will probably be on wob.tv and otherwise p2p is your only chance ...

Can you watch it on Zattoo demolidor? It says me that I don't have the rights to watch and i should log in as an authorized user...

Can you watch it on Zattoo demolidor? It says me that I don't have the rights to watch and i should log in as an authorized user...

No we are not even on the list of zattoo countries :rolleyes:. I'm sure we won't be seeing that back next year :p.

Just want to ask a question here. Is the live score working ?

Yes, I think so, just there is no match on now so is blank.

Just want to ask a question here. Is the live score working ?
visual livescore is 100% working..:)

aiya...chong wei sudah kalah...never get to see him play too...:crying:

If you are one of the few fortunate guy who got to see and record the game between Lin Dan and Chanlai Bao please share it. Thank you for your time and effort.

Cheers :)
