Does anyone know the best way to watch the Ryder Cup on TV? I have just bought into the World Sport on ILovehd, and it is totally unwatchable, it buffers every two seconds or so. Does the competition start this evening, if so at what time? What are the channels it is shown on?

Thailand is 12 hours ahead - so easy to convert to Thai time!! As for TV coverage........no idea as yet.

 

 

 

 I can't see that they are showing it on True Sports this time around - just a 1 hour highlights package on the golf channel  between 5.00 - 6.00 AM!!:sad:.

Just found some info on ILIKEHD UK TV, it seems it is on Sky 4, the opening is being shown at 1500hrs this afternoon and the foursomes begin at 1830hrs tonight. The buffering on the channel is horrendous, might make it unwatchable for me. :saai:

It is on what I call Sophon ... Thailand Golf Channel. I am watching it now.

A Astro channel logo appeared briefly during preceeding adverts.

 

I hardly watch Sophon channels as I have True satellite subscription. Its not on Trues Golf Channel..

 

Im glad I sorted dual feed now ..

Could you give more details about this Sophon golf channel? Ive never heard of it. Do you need a special satelite?

Sorry ... My condo complex subscribes to what everyone calls Sophon cable. It is in all 300 odd condos. A collective fee included in annual maintenance bill. I never bother with it as it has only about 30 English channels.  But by chance when I had True installed I got them to wire it so I could also access the existing feed.  And Bingo .. 3 years later I have found it to be a good extra 200 baht one off payent.

 

Sorry I cant be more helpful.

I emailed ILIKEHD about the buffering and they replied saying they have changed my "account server" I also was watching it on my minix box, so tried it on my Samsung Tablet and miracast it to my tv, it is much better now.

Signed up to ILIKEHD last night and watched the morning gamed. A bit of buffering but not too bad and little impact on watching experience.

 

Decided not to stay up for the afternoon play and fully expected to wake up to a score line of 7-1 or similar. So the actual 5-3 score came as a pleasant surprise. Looking at the Sky Sports 1 programme they have a RC show starting at 9am UK time (3pm Thai) so will be watching that before the live show starts again at 6.30pm Thai time.

 

Great weekend of sport ahead with RC/F1/EPL. Bring it on!!

good price, does that include on demand as well? Sometimes I can not be bothered staying up to watch something(EPL football) and watch it the next morning when I'm ready, Champions league, boxing, US masters etc

No 'on demand' not available, but I believe they show it again the next day. Last night watched the first half till about midnight then had to go to bed due to fatigue. 

The Americans are playing very well especially Patrick Reed, the Europeans have a big mountain to climb today.

Yanks are going to kick Brits butts this year and it's about time!

It was actually a European team...... but yes they did and unfortunately most people predicted that before they even started.
