    Got an email today from WoB.tv saying that they will close down after the Cups in May.

    Too bad. Now it's back to searching for internet TV and downloads:(

    This sucks. I was a member as there is zero badminton shown in Canada.

    It was nice getting English live badminton coverage. It was worth the reasonable fee. Enjoy the wob.bv finale : The Thomas/Uber Cup.

    Thankfully there is still wonderful BC to direct us to free internet feeds and supply us with excellent downloads after the fact.:)

    Since WOB only has the European and North-American TUC rights and they don't, perhaps these guys: http://www.badmintoncentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=83379

    Wonder if there's any relation to a high ranking BWF official (cousin's son-in-law twice removed kid's friend) :rolleyes::D?
