vogie Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 (edited) 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? Edited September 29, 2016 by vogie Spelling mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!!.

vogie Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited September 30, 2016 by vogie punctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangkokhatter Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 True had it last time via fox sports. Not seen it advertised yet though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAWNEESE Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 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 .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAWNEESE Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 I.m watching it on http://www.rydercup.com/live/player.html. Buffering is terrible. I cant find it anywhere on true, stared at channel 1 and went through all of the Thai channels. The "live from the Ryder cup" on the golf channel is garbage as it acts like it hasn't started yet!

vogie Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 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.

dabhand Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayned Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Free on http://www.rydercup.com/live/player.html. I multitasked this morning with the Ryder cup on the computer and American college football on the TV. I missed both the good golf shots and football plays!

It was actually a European team...... but yes they did and unfortunately most people predicted that before they even started. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
