The BBC will be broadcasting in the UK on the digital channels as usual. The coverage is usual pretty extensive.

UK players and the finals are usual on the Main channels as well.

It seems INA peoples could not enjoy LIVE telecast of the biggest sport event in this year, Beijing Olympic Games because there's not any INA TV station yet which want to buy OG broadcasting rights until now. This similar case also happened four years ago in Athens.

Local TV Station Executives consider US$1,5m (IDR.13,8 billion) as broadcasting rights price tag that offered by ABU (Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union) is too expensive. Irwan Hendarmin, Production Affair General Manager of Global TV (one INA national private TV) said the multisport event like Olympic Games has less interest to get sponsorship/advertisers.

What a disappointing news for INA viewers...

Yup, TVRI takes OG the broadcast rights in last minutes! And here's the news article :

Indonesian State TV to Air Beijing Olympics Live, Free 2008-07-15 14:01:35 Xinhua

After missing live coverage of badminton player Taufik Hidayat's gold medal winning feat at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Indonesians will be able to watch the Beijing Olympics next month live and free, as state-owned TV of the Republic of Indonesia (TVRI) acquired the broadcast rights.

"We will air the Games," the Jakarta Post Daily Tuesday quoted TVRI spokesperson Meggy Theresia Rares as saying.

This is good news for Indonesian sports fans, she said.

"On Tuesday we will sign a memorandum of understanding with the Asia-Pacific Broadcasting Union (ABU)," Meggy said on Monday, referring to the organization in charge of the Games broadcast in 28 Asian countries and regions.

She declined to say how much TVRI had paid for the rights or to provide any other details, promising more information would be forthcoming after the agreement is signed.

no matter how convenience the local tv is, i think it's better to treat those PPStream and CCTV or other web streaming services as spare tyres just for in case...

Badminton enthusiasts in Canada may be disappointed once again. It seems that CBC and TSN will not be showing any badminton (except perhaps for minute summaries).

They could try to watch on American MSNBC (available through the Canadian cable or satellite TV providers), if MSNBC does not switch their international feed to some other programming (durning the 2004 Games, CNBC switched their international feed to CNBC International while CNBC US was showing Olympic events including badminton).

The MSNBC schedule as posted by ctjcad (with underlines by me) follows:

Also, badminton event (most likely in short clips/coverage) will be broadcasted on USA, USA HD & MSNBC channels. Here is the schedule (http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/beijing/2008-07-08-nbc-tv-web-schedule_N.htm). All time listed are ET:

I don't think those of us in the US (at least) will be able to watch Streaming broadcase from CCTV/PPStream/UUsee .... due to copyright agreement since CCTV/PPStream/UUsee are official broadcast channels and they won't violate NBC's rights in the US.

I was not able to view any of the prelim program from PPstream/CCTV; and UUsee gives me the message that broadcast is good for China/Macau region use only.

Anyone have any information on these issues?? I have a feeling NBColympics.com and the Live CCTV streaming by the other P2P sites(hope some of them works) will be the only way those of us in the US will be able to catch.

Any ideas?? How to do the Proxy tricks if needed??

[george@chongwei]

sorry...i mean...u didnt SEE?...
so does that mean that after 2 days only , we only can watch the livestreaming?

[ogushio]

Any ideas?? How to do the Proxy tricks if needed??
To get a list of proxies based in China, go to
http://www.cybersyndrome.net/country.html
scroll down to China, and then click on "Proxy." In Firefox, click on Tools, Options, Advanced, Networks, Settings and then input the Chinese ip address and port. This should work in a browser, but not sure how to set it up in p2ptv apps like ppstream or uusee.

The IOC announced Monday that YouTube would be offering online coverage of the Beijing Olympics in 77 territories across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, only in areas without an exclusive digital online provider. The channel, which can be found at www.youtube.com/beijing2008 (http://www.youtube.com/beijing2008) is not available in countries with existing online deals, such as the U.S. where all broadcast rights are owned by NBC....

Shanghai Sports is showing OG live but I dont think it's exclusive to badminton, it's jumps from one event to another. Now is 6.30 pm China/Msia time, they're showing Judo.

VChing, there's Shanghai Sports, and livestream of RTM 1.

Oh yeah, for those who're interested, just now RTM 1 showed badminton in the afternoon session, MS, the Taiwan guy vs the Iran guy. It was boring so I turned over to RTM 2, which was showing men's gymnastics.
RTM 1 & RTM 2 show different sports.
So, dont get angry yet, tune it that government channel of ours & see.

Is there anyway i could watch the badminton matches online that accually work in Hong Kong.... im dying to watch them, and i know they show it on HD channels but i cant get them yet... :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::c rying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:



Can someone plz answer this?

[Han]

Can someone plz answer this?

It's all up to your cable provider in Hong Kong, meaning if your cable program don't have HD then you don't have, there's no tricks about this. In US, badminton happens to be braodcast in HD channels(ABC HD, USA HD, Universal HD) so we can watch with HDTV using HD box( you need to have both to work).
I think only Japan has HD program so far in Asia?

NBC Broadcasting all the games online and live is great. I watched several matches yesterday.

This proxy server "129.170.214.191" work not so good for me, after ca 10 minutes I get this message:

"You are trying to use a node of the CoDeeN CDN Network. Your IP address is not recognized as a valid PlanetLab address, so your request rate is being limited."

:eek::mad::confused:

Do somebody know another working proxy?

[chris-ccc]

Australian TV isn't broadcasting much badminton...

Except from SBS...

Hopefully they will broadcast more... The MD finals in Sydney was one of the most watched programs ever broadcasted on Australian TV....

You have to use a proxy server which stands in the USA.

THis server works fine for me:

erm, im currently using a firefox now and i cant find this preferences thingy.:D
anyone can help me??? i right click on the icon but nothing came out.:rolleyes::o

[morphy]

with ultrasurf you dont need to enter any proxy , it does that for you if you're using IE , not sure if it works for FF..I'm outside US (Canada) and watching LCW match now on nbcolympics.com!!

[PerryH]

go to tools --> options --> advanced --> then go to the networks tab --> click settings --> then go to that manual proxy as given .

you will need to install silverlight 2.0 and it MAY give an error at first because it sometimes gets corrupted and the full thing does not get downloaded just try again.

THANK YOU FOR SHOWING ME THIS! I LOVE IT!!
I CAN WATCH ALL THE BADMINTON GAMES NOW FROM NBCOLYMPICS.COM

RIGHT NOW LCW VS SOME SINGAPORE GUY LOL

i live in TORONTO and i can GUARANTEE this WORKS for people living in TORONTO.
watching some mens singles as we speak

THANK YOUUUU

[morphy]

my bad it works for a bit then stalled after the 1st match and I had to input the proxy manually. In IE its in Options>Internet Options>LAN Settings.

[morphy]

hmm that proxy only works awhile and now it won't. Anyone have any other?

[george@chongwei]

ultrasurf doesn't seem to do anything now :(. That was the whole purpose of ultrasurf - it will use its own proxies so you won't have to enter one yourself.

[crazlunatic]

I specifically want to watch mens singles, but the other types of badminton are good as well.

I live in Canada, so I cannot access NBC or America-only streams.
I only have CBC, and since badminton is not popular, they do not show many games. The quality is bad and they show too few games.

Where can I watch online?
Thanks.

[morphy]

update: Ultrasurf is working now it seems. I'm watching women's doubles :eek:. Didn't enter any manual proxy in browser.

Sometimes the ultrasurf connection drops and the video stalls. And that was probably what happened during LCW match. Switching servers in ultraproxy might help (clicking on the green icons).

Install ultrasurf (in the first post).
Ultrasurf servers seem to be pretty flaky to me, it drops quite often..maybe its just me >.>
Restarting ultrasurf seems to fix that problem but I have to restart the browser again...

What zip code, provider and location did you use?

[morphy]

What zip code, provider and location did you use?
For zip code, I used one that's closest/closer to my location (Buffalo vs SE Ontario) and chose Time Warner Cable. I had previously tried a random code based in Cal and was getting alot of skips (buffer loadings) so I reinstalled and entered a different location. So far getting much better results, alot less skipping.

If you need to look up zip codes try http://zip4.usps.com/zip4/citytown.jsp

[george@chongwei]

im currently using canada ip adress to the cbc website..

[xXazn_romeoXx]

is cctv5 closed? or all of them through sopcast?

[crazlunatic]

hey guys, im using the ultrasurf method as described and all I get is a black screen, do you know why?

[metalmon1188]

yea i live in malaysia and dont even have the live coverage for WCH';s match now.

[ogushio]

hey guys, im using the ultrasurf method as described and all I get is a black screen, do you know why?
Do you have Silverlight 2 installed?

[ogushio]

Try TVants. It has a bunch of CCTV-5 channels.

All of NBC's servers are probably in the same location, so the zip code won't matter much. Silverlight has several different quality settings, and it will switch to a lower res but higher speed one if it detects the skips.

Silverlight doesn't seem to have any controls, but it is supposed to shift down automatically if it detects the skipping.

[FuWang]

I don't have CCTV5...... How come CCTV2 just broadcast until the WD of JPN-KOR..... I can't see the games of Fu-Cai...... Do anyone have the link of watching online?
