hey guys

anyone know where the WC09 will be streaming live?? if not... maybe a channel from a program such as sopcast or some other program where u can get free asian channels via internet?

it would be greatly appreciated to share your thoughts & ideas, most of us living in north america despite satillite TV -------STILL-------- don't have access to these kind of events...

thanks again

I always use cctv5.com.cn but sometimes you have to look for a different network. But they should have the schedule up a week before the event starts.

CCTV5 will be at the full helm of the webstream coverage..:cool:

Too bad I'm not in China right now. They will have the coverage for sure. Next year lol!!

you guys know anything that streams cctv5 better than sopcast? in terms of quality, audio, reliability? =O btw freeware is appreciated ;)

- CCTV5 is the broadcasting company who will provide the coverage.
- Sopcast (just like TVAnts, PPLive, PPStream, TVUPlayer, UUSee), they're all programs used to watch CCTV5.
- And yes, they're all freeware. Usually i use TVAnts or Sopcast. Once in a while TVUPlayer or PPLive.
- Quality? Hard to tell, i usually look for the smoothest stream available.

I'm presuming CCTV5 is in Chinese, but will there be any English-commentary streams, would you think?

there's tvsplanet.com. Never tried it so I'm not sure if it's gonna work. I'm guessing it's in English.

so what has the smoothest stream possible in your opinion? no vagueness please ^^

..i'd love to be frank with you and i will. So here is my "vague-less" personal take:
- I wish there is, but unfortunately, there is no consistent P2P programs which will deliver the smooothest, clearest, buffer-free or buffer-less stream.
- From my experience, in no particular order, TVAnts, Sopcast and TVUPlayer have delivered the most satisfaction. All 3, IMO, are even steven. However, each one, once in a while, will for some unknown reason(s) bomb on me and i would have to switch to a different program to carry the stream.
- How smooth your stream is depends also on your broadband connection. If you're trying to watch using a slowpoke 56k dial-up modem, then i'm sorry, your stream will have to buffer a lot.

So, in conclusion, install all 3 of those programs, or even other programs and just wait for the show.:cool:

Perhaps it will be on Veetle...

any tv station will broadcast the whole 1 week matches?:)

My Sopcast's GD-Sport channel is off line..........Is every body's Sopcast GD-Sport channle off line also...?

Just relax. I'm sure the channel will be Online if there's badminton broadcast.
Still got more than 1 week to go, Jason.:p

I will use TVUplayer and will inform people about the quality when it's on :)

I just saw the schedule for CCTV5, it seems like they won't air the matches until the quarter final or something. Anyone know where to watch first round and so on?

yeah, I would really appreciate it if people that found a match online could tell us where.

oh sorry to repeat this..
A HUGE WISH FROM ALL ISRAEL BADMINTON SPACE - PLEASE ANYONE RECORD THE VERY FIRST LIN DAN MATCH AGAINST ISRAELI MISHA ZILBERMAN!

I'm presuming CCTV5 is in Chinese, but will there be any English-commentary streams, would you think?
