OK, we're in a situation here..not yet in dire-strait.. ...of some WC coverage, esp. for today's tantalizing matches...Is mikemike around to help us on this??..(looking helpless, feel like abt to cry)
WCSN also just participated on the google advertising program you see on BC. i think that will be a good way for them to reach more badminton audience online.
Only highlights??.. ..but we don't want highlights....we want live or at least delayed coverage...(i think i'm starting to shed some tears)...hehe :crying: Oh no, the 1st match today will commence at 2pm Spain time, which means it's around 5am here PST in U.S.....nooo.. :crying:
I see on cctv5 home page, the 9/21 schedule and it lists live badminton coverage starting at 23:30 for about 4 1/2 hrs. Whats 23:30 in pdt? -15 hrs? 8am here on the west coast? can this be seen on pplive or sopcast etc...? Thx.
..if it's 23:30pm CHN time, then it'll be 8:30am here PST...and it'll be around 5:30pm Spain time...ok, so just in time for probably the main course(ie. MS, MD).. it's ok, 4 1/2 hrs, but we want full coverage like the MAS people have on their tubes..:crying:
i'm on 512k broadband but it keeps lagging for me, is my connection not fast enough?is there anyway i could make it better, im talking bout tvants- cctv5
Well if your connection is really at 512k then it is fast enough for tvants. You must let it load for a few minutes before it becomes stable. And remember to turn off all downloading software tools (BitComet, Emule, FlashGet, etc).
