TAR 22 Day 2 is in the books - SVB 50-48
- Thread starter "CaliRed".
- Start date
It would be nice to be able to hear the players more and the commentators less. Just a little too much chit chat at the expense of the flavor of the match.
Looks like it's going to be a close one on the final day. Shane was 5 down at the start and ended up 2 games ahead. This could very well be a squeaker tomorrow. Every game is going to be important tomorrow. Earl is down to his final shaft though, so he may have to start borrowing shafts
If you missed Day 2, you can still purchase the 2 day package and watch it being looped until tomorrow until a few hours before Day 3 starts which would be about 5:00 est. Just go to www.theactionreport.com to buy.
Here's a shot of inside the TAR studio. You can see how close the spectators are to Earl and the table. Might have been a good idea to have Earl sit in the other chair.

is anyone else having problems with stream
thanks... just another situation where someone has a choppy feed or something, and sure enough... it's the pc itself or the internet connection, 2 things that are completely out of TAR's control or anyone else for that matter. All the tech support in the world can't get you a fast connection or speed up your hardware
I'm glad you got a machine that it works better on.
That speed you posted is horrid. I don't know what kind of connection your'e paying for, but if you're paying more then 19.95 for that, you better be canceling it. I only say 19.95 because thats the cheapest I ever see a major provider selling anything for. Those speeds are not worth 19.95, those are worth about 4.95 just to have a connection.
My stream quality has been perfect from the start.
One thing that almost always helps me if I start to have problems, both when I was on DSL, and now cable, is to unplug the modem and the wifi router. For whatever reason, this always gets me much better numbers on the www.speedtest.net site.

yes... that is another thing one should do. Rebooting equipment is necessary on a regular basis. I get so much crap when it's one of the first things i tell people to do. They think it's stupid, no matter that it might have fixed their problem
Cali:
There's a lot of wisdom there. Unfortunately, people don't like to hear that they have to reboot their equipment, when they are "reading their email and AZB just fine."
I work on Cisco big iron (big Catalyst and Nexus switches, GSRs, etc.) and even here, in the upper reaches of the data center (where uptime is measured in years, not months or days), whenever you want to stress-test a piece of equipment, you throw a big data transfer at it. This will expose any weaknesses in it, that normal traffic loads won't expose. Any server, switch, router that seems to be working fine, but is actually suffering some memory leaks, etc. will fall over on its face when it has to push a large amount of data. Granted, that's terabytes and petabytes on the equipment I'm talking about, but scaled-down to the home Internet connection, a live stream is a good corollary.
Getting a fresh boot of your equipment's operating system is not an unreasonable thing to do when about to watch a live stream. Heck, just unplugging and replugging the power (or pushing that recessed Reset button with a straightened paper clip on those cable/DSL modems with battery backup) is not that hard. And it's worth avoiding any headaches with the live stream.
Great advice,

Same here.
