sippo Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 This is ridiculous. I now have to watch it on iraqgoals.
SimpleSi Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 And this is for 2 foreign teams - no chance next week Simon
aerospacemango Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 *UPDATE* Well, we're just into the second half, and I can report that there has been very little to trouble TVCatchup. However, either Alan Shearer is losing his hair much faster than first anticipated, or the pixelation was getting worse!!!
CHR1S Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 tvcatchup says connection closed. Yeh, I just refresh when it does that, about once every 90 mins maybe.
sparkeh Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 BBC will be fine, its the embc I am concerned about.
Rydra Posted June 16, 2010 Posted June 16, 2010 confirming TVcatchup is much better. solid video feed, 100 times better than ITV.
SimpleSi Posted June 16, 2010 Author Posted June 16, 2010 BBC will be fine What would make you think that? Why would the BBC spend the enourmous amount of money required for servers/bandwidth to cope with a seventh wave event? And if they have - wouldn't you want someones head on a plate for wasting so much of your money when they've already spent millions on an alternative called televisual broadcasting using COFDM over radio waves e.g DTT regards Simon

Don't worry, for all you football-haters......Wimbledon is on next week.....and I bet the Net will be equally well served for that too! (Do you see what I did there? Well-served? Wimbledon? )
SimpleSi Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 The NEW broadcast media, T'internet (current version) wasn't desigined for broadcasting - Sat and DTV were Simon

aerospacemango Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 (edited) LOL..... As I was typing it, it came to me that it was a terrible pun...... But was completely by accident! Sorry....I won't do it again!!!! P.S. I can't believe you didn't thank me for that joke!!!!!! Edited June 17, 2010 by aerospacemango
aerospacemango Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 T'internet (current version) wasn't desigined for broadcasting - Sat and DTV were Simon That's correct....but it has been adapted to become the NEW broadcast media. And, BBC, ITV et al have to be on top of the game, otherwise they will fall behind and lose out in the battle for online viewers. I think that ITV will have lost this battle already, but the BBC are keeping themselves very much in the game with the amounts that have been invested.
aerospacemango Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 is TVcatchup broken? Nope....streaming perfectly here! Looking forward to the first half of Argies V S Korea!
CHR1S Posted June 17, 2010 Posted June 17, 2010 LOL..... P.S. I can't believe you didn't thank me for that joke!!!!!! Ill thank you if you promise never to tell any more again? hehe
SimpleSi Posted June 17, 2010 Author Posted June 17, 2010 Well - I've got 3 schools setup ready for freeview in the hall - just need to make sure my Wed pm school head sees the light regards Simon
browolf Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 checkout this article about the tech of iplayer: iPlayer uncovered: What powers the BBC's epic creation? - Crave at CNET UK a yr ago peak transfer for iplayer was around 100Gbps! 1
chrbb Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 Does it start at 3.00? If so we finish at 3.20 so my advice to everyone in my school will be - hurry home! Just in case though - we have an aerial connection in the hall, so ....... can I connect a freeview box to a projector or even have an additional image coming off the TV?

rad Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 trying to watch Germany v Serbia atm, (I am doing a test before wednesday) and it is not reliable. It keeps stalling, and that is not my computer, it occured also in another room. I'd not trust iplayer for next week
CHR1S Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 I have about 5 or 6 classes watching it on iPlayer and its dropping out a lot. Sadly even TVCatchup is suffering but that's probably down to our 10Mb connection being shared over 2 school and being saturated!
browolf Posted June 18, 2010 Posted June 18, 2010 been fine for me germany vs serbia. the picture pixelates quite a lot tho.
