IMPORTANT info about "Live" pool on TV!

I got DSL.. audio and video is excellent... like watching regular TV program.. no delays at all... WPC live will be shown around 2:00 a.m. July 4 (Pacific Time)... here's the schedule

http://www.worldpoolchampionship.com/article_detail.asp?article_id=2105

As Judgement Day looms tomorrow, there are a further 112 matches to be contested at the 2005 Kaohsiung World Pool Championship and there will be plenty of players whose fate will be decided at the close of play today.

It is generally accepted that four wins from the seven group matches will be enough to garner a position in the last 64 straight knock-out bracket, although it is not guaranteed.

Play commences at 12.00pm, with the TV table coming into operation at 17.00.

The opener features local favourite Fong-pang Chao against top European Nick van de Berg in a match which both players need to win.

Other players in dire need of points on the TV table include American Mosconi Cup star Charlie Williams who has just one win from four starts and need victories in his last three matches. He faces a rampaging Thorsten Hohmann so he will have his work cut out.

Efren Reyes faces Roman Hybler in another must win game and all eyes will be on Thomas Engert and Francisco Bustamante as they square off on the main table.

I have a blank black screen and no sound. The time meter is clicking away as if I am supposed to be seeing something. Is it on as of this posts time?
 
This feed is illegal (but I don't care) and judging from the smooth pictures that I got, it is lifted off UBC Cable provider in Thailand. I would also speculate that the server is in Thailand or it's vicinity and basing on the distance and speed available, it won't be of good for viewers outside of Asia, but the audio is good enough. The same case will happen if I'm watching a live internet broadcast from the US or UK, I will hear the full audio, but video (or luck of it) will be like still photos.

Out of curiosity, I actually opened and had a nice smooth picture. Timed it at about 2 mins delay from my ESPN feed off Dreams Satellite System.

Not bad for an internet feed of amateur setup done by a professional. (Darn, did I make sense on that one?) You have to know darn well about computers to be able to feed this to the net. :)

Chamat 4 vs Alcaide 2

Great, all I can see is a black screen with no sound. Is it somehow blocked from those not in America? I am in Australia where we also dont get any coverage at all.

OMG I closed the blank white page and now it is rebuffering and I have a still picture with weird writing! Come on baby! PLAY!

DC++ is an open source client for the Direct Connect protocol. Direct Connect allows you to share files over the internet without restrictions or limits. The client is completely free of advertisements and has a nice, easy to use interface. Firewall and router support is integrated and it’s easy and convenient to use functionality like multi-hub connections, auto connections and resuming of downloads.

Go here to download:


http://www.soft32.com/download-DC_-15504-5.html

run the tutorial and take your time setting it up. when it's set up "quickconnect" (through the dcc software) to interpool.dnsalias.com. Then highlight some of the names in blue on the right which indicates that user is online, get his file list and start downloading. Others will be doing the same to your shared files.

I am having trouble with the dcc I get this message when trying to connect to the pool sharing.
You havn't got enough slots open, you've got 1 and the minimum allowed is: 2
You have any idea what i need to do.
 
they are showing Hsia vs Basavich again... I turned off my connection.. but if anybody is interested.. please watch and see if the comments are warranted... (caution: have lots of patience) ;-)

I am getting this error...

Angelfire does not allow direct linking from offsite, non-Angelfire pages,
to files hosted on Angelfire.

First link is the same place. It simply does not load correctly for me due to bandwidth or what. I get sound sometimes, but not a actual video of pool

I have sound and a still picture. A lady sitting in front of a microphone with a cup in front of her, wood pannleing behind her, and looking quite un-pool-like. The thing in the top right of the screen says MBC with abit of chinese writing in front of that.

Go into settings and there is a place for specifying how many slots you want open. choose two and save the settings.
 
using the link supplied above, i've been watching it on my laptop just like t.v.

i haven't had any problems at all.

i do have a cable modem which is better for downloading things like this. dial up or DSL is going to be quite a bit slower.

Just wanted to bump this thread so I don't have to keep looking for the link! :D
