good news that astro supersport will going to broadcast live for semi-final and final for the swiss open which is starting next week... 15th MARCH 2008: 2100 (semi-final) 16th MARCH 2008: 1900 (final) anybody can find out which tv got show quarter final live????
http://www.swissopen.com/index.php?id=8&L=1 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!
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 .... LIVE-STREAMING. FREE FROM TUESDAY TILL SUNDAY. Internet. Livestreaming. For all the Badminton enthusiasts unable to join us in Basel for the WILSON BADMINTON SWISS OPEN we offer a great possibilty to be part of the tournament nevertheless. Visit us on www.swissopen.com from Tuesday thru Friday to get live footage from all four courts (without comment/graphics) In addition to this we'll open a SwissOpen-Channel on Zattoo where - live as well - you can watch the best games. Go to www.zattoo.com to join and download the player for free! Live-TV-Footage What about the weekend? you may ask. Well, even on Saturday and Sunday fans of outstanding Badminton too far away from Basel to come and visit will not be disappointed - thanks to our partnership with Zattoo. All the Zattoo-users will be able to watch the semi-finals and finals of the WILSON BADMINTON SWISS OPEN at home on one of the channels that are broadcasting the event - live and with comment - and whereever you are!
Now I understand z3048018's confusion, hmm, sounds like the English version of the website is directly translated from German or French. Here's the German Version: --- LIVE-STREAMING. GRATIS VON DIENSTAG BIS SONNTAG. Internet. Livestreaming. Allen Badmintonfans, die nicht nach Basel kommen können, bieten wir über www.swissopen.com eine attraktive Möglichkeit, von Dienstag bis Freitag Livebilder (ohne Kommentar/Grafik) aller vier Courts zu sehen. Zusätzlich wird auf Zattoo ein SwissOpen-Channel eingerichtet, der - ebenfalls live - die besten Spiele zeigt. Unter www.zattoo.com kann man sich dafür kostenlos anmelden und den Player gratis herunterladen. Live-TV-Bilder Auch am Samstag und Sonntag kommen Fans, die nicht vor Ort sind, Dank unserer Partnerschaft mit Zattoo voll auf ihre Kosten. Alle Zattoo-Nutzer können auf Ihrem PC die Final-Spiele vom WILSON BADMINTON SWISS OPEN auf einem der Kanäle, die das Event übertragen, überall live und kommentiert mitverfolgen. --- 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 and downloaded the player. It's quite cool! There's various European channels.. Hahaha
^^Thanks for the link..^^ ..i'm sure the rest of the BC bandwagoners will join in the party, w/you, soon...
"The service is currently restricted to Switzerland, Denmark, Spain, Germany, Norway, United Kingdom, Belgium and France, but is expected to expand to other European countries, (with Austria and Poland being at the top of that list[6]) then to Canada and the U.S." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zattoo#Availability
damn it!!! not good for asian viewer..!!:crying: i remember last year is the best, im able to view the livestreaming clearly..but this year, when zatoo sponsored...all gone!/
Haha, it was and is free to begin with so there really is no legit reason te be . 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 . What other SS event can claim that?
