T_Dog Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Big thanks to JCCR6 for his post on watching the Giro with 365Sport TV. I signed up too and currently watching the first stage of the tour. Was worried my 2Mbps connection would not be enough but no buffering at all and a great picture on a 32 inch display. Anyone else watching?

StreetCowboy Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 I'm watching on Eurosport - it looks great; a typical early Summer day - it's a shame that the schools there have not broken up yet. Big cheerful crowds, beautiful scenery, great weather, looks like quite a nice course - what more could one ask for? SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted July 5, 2014 Author Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Those aerial views of Yorkshire are quite stunning. Guess the weather was a bit wet yesterday so it broke in time for the race start.

MJCM Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Just seen that Cavendish will not start Today Link: http://www.espn.co.uk/cycling/sport/story/321719.html Mark Cavendish's Tour de France is over after he suffered a dislocated shoulder during a dramatic crash on the final straight of the opening stage. The Omega Pharma - Quick Step team said on their official website that Cavendish had suffered "ligament ruptures with an AC-joint dislocation" and had left the Manxman in a "lot of pain."

T_Dog Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Here is another live stream that works fairly well. To avoid the grey blocks in the middle of the coverage, use Ad Blocker, and then select the frame (right click on the video) and open it under another tab. Once there, full screen works well. http://hdfoots.com/watch/eurosport-1-live-stream.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonoi Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I found the Eurosport coverage to be great, the only annoying thing is I can't find a way to turn off the Thai commentary during the live broadcast, I'd rather hear what Greg Lemond has to stay himself, rather than some dodgy Thai translation Strangely if you watch the repeat the following day, there is no Thai commentary.........

Check your remote for a "duel" button or go into the sound menu and have a look around there. Normally there is more than one language commentary being transmitted and you can switch to English. Works on normal thai TV and the new digital HD stuff when they re showing sport and some movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonoi Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 And now Contador out, not that I really care, I think he is past it anyway....can't perform without the drugs...... Perhaps he even crashed out deliberately in order to avoid another embarassing social media spat with Olev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonoi Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I just bought a new HD GMM Z box this past weekend, and this works fine. Something wrong with the old box I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T_Dog Posted July 27, 2014 Author Share Posted July 27, 2014 This year's tour sure has been a crash-fest. Really sorry to see Andy Schleck crash out. Might be worth watching the last stage to see how it all ends up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
