2010 Open Coverage

[JKA]

Anyone know if The Open is on Fox or normal TV?

[Daves]

It will be on Fox.

[Jarro]

It will be on Fox.

8)

[mike]

Usually it starts on Fox about 6 pm and then on fta from midnight til about 4 am. It's my favourite major to watch because of the span of the coverage.

[mike]

It will be on Fox.Oh just read this.

You sure about that? Not on FTA?

[Daves]

Usually it starts on Fox about 6 pm and then on fta from midnight til about 4 am. It's my favourite major to watch because of the span of the coverage.

Yep, live coverage from 6pm.

[Daves]

Oh just read this.

You sure about that? Not on FTA?

I think Channel 9 might have the rights for FTA but I hear they are only going to show 2 hrs of highlights of the 3rd and final rounds.

[goughy]

My favourite major and after being spoilt with the US really disappointed to hear about the fta coverage!

[sms316]

Not on FTA?

Who cares? :mrgreen:

[moree golfer]

Get on Veetle to watch it guys! Problem solvered.

[Hawkers2008]

If you have access to Poxtel on the first two rounds its a really good event to watch. Its on at a good time to watch, straight after work and generally a good quality coverage with a reasonable amount of the coverage devoted to shots other than putting.

[Eag's]

Love the coverage of the British Open, even more so with Foxtel :)

[macjackass]

Channel 9 are a complete joke these days. They have a show now called RBT, who in their right mind would sit and watch a program on random breath tasting!

[PeteyD]

I thought it was random breast tasting?

[WBennett]

Veetle or Justin.tv will be your friend.

[oncewasagolfer]

Veetle or Justin.tv will be your friend.

would be good if nine relinquished the rights and channel 10/one picked them up. the open is my favorite major as well good commentry for the most part and plenty of golf.

[dave1]

hmm call me really odd...many do LOL

I dont watch allot of golf on TV yet Im love the game so much.....I dont find TV coverage very interesting....

the last 9 holes at Augusta is good buts thats about it for me

I might sneek a few holes in when i get up early but really bores me at times...strange as that seems......

[Tongueboy]

not strange dave. i can go to sleep watching it very easily

[GolfBallWhackerGuy]

So its confirm then that theres no FTA coverage?

[Eag's]

No FTA coverage that is correct.
At times like this I love my Fox Sports :)

[BrisVegas]

veetle it is. i aint signing up for foxtel just for this tourney.

[razaar]

Raining and windy for the first day. Visibility will be poor which means the camera crews will have real problems.

[Eag's]

Just a heads up for people with Fox, coverage starts from 6pm tonight & Fri night :D

[MegaWatty]

You'll need ESPN on Veetle. The Golf Channel isn't showing it...

[Jarro]

Looking forward to watching this in HD on the big LCD screen tonight 8)

[MegaWatty]

[henno]

This works an absolute treat! http://www.myp2pforum.eu/threads/25874-British-TV

[Jarro]

****ing stoopid BBC knobs !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jarro]

How good a start is Daly having !!! :shock:

6 under after 10

[henno]

He's having a blinder.

[Eag's]

With a 5 footer for another birdie coming up :shock:
Anybody have him in their picks?
Nice to see two of my five picks running last & second last :roll:

[Jarro]

Watch for Tigers new putter to pop up on eBay ;)

Missed a really short birdie putt on the par 5 5th hole

[Eag's]

John Senden on fire -5 8-)

[sms316]

Anybody have him in their picks?

:mrgreen:

[Eag's]

Good luck Shaun, it would be great to see him go all the way, but you know what he is like these days.

[sms316]

Good luck Shaun, it would be great to see him go all the way, but you know what he is like these days.

As long as they don't breath test him, he is a chance.

TBH it was a piss-take tip, but he has won there before. TOC is a bomber's track.

[henno]

TOC is a bomber's track.

D. Johnson is still at E. How good interesting would a Johnson V Daly bomb-a-thon be on Sunday.

[MegaWatty]

Robert Rock = Best name on tour!

He is the worlds slowest putter though!!! Damn!!!

[Yossarian]

How much of my bandwidth is streaming this chewing up?

[oncewasagolfer]

which stream are you guys using? I'm just using the low bandwidth one mw linked tried the one henno linked but couldn't work it out.

[henno]

If you have VLC player, just play this URL: http://streams.britishtv.us.to/BBC_Two

If you don't have VLC player already installed, you damn well should.

[PeteyD]

64 Bit Win 7 means no British TV for me either

[henno]

64 Bit Win 7 means no British TV for me either

Just do what I said in the post above you.

[Grunt]

How many putts has J Daly just missed. He could have shot 63

[oncewasagolfer]

If you have VLC player, just play this URL: http://streams.britishtv.us.to/BBC_Two

If you don't have VLC player already installed, you damn well should.

yeah I have vlc best darn video player bar none. will give it a try thanks!

[goonie]

64 Bit Win 7 means no British TV for me either

VLC runs it on my 64 bit Win 7

[Yossarian]

Whats a VLC?

[oncewasagolfer]

http://www.videolan.org/vlc/

[goonie]

VideoLan VLC media player, plays just about anything, even .iso movie rips.

[McMw]

[MegaWatty]

Pink's the new black...

[henno]

And Nike's the new Scotty. It's Bizarre-O world!

Henno,

I've never heard of VLC until now, and have downloaded. Thanks for the tip.

[3oneday]

How big is that download Henno ? I'm over 115mb and counting ?

[PeteyD]

It's a stream you open in VLC.

[3oneday]

Ok, out of my depth now then :)

[macjackass]

Thank god for foxtel, too confusing! Oh, and the better half is working tonight so free reign with the remote :mrgreen:

[3oneday]

Worked it out, thanks boys 8)

[Grunt]

Should be good early tonight with the Aussies out before the Footy and after the footy Daly will be back out there.

[henno]

How big is that download Henno ? I'm over 115mb and counting ?

It's a stream; it never ends. It's probably 1MB/min or something. It doesn't worry me; I have gigs to burn.

[oncewasagolfer]

cant find a working stream tonight bugger it and still dont have any luck playing through vlc

[3oneday]

[oncewasagolfer]

I see zigwah is watching jhon.tv

have you two been catching up?:)

[Grunt]

Fox Sports HD works Fine!

[oncewasagolfer]

Fox Sports HD works Fine!

snob hehe

[Jarro]

Fox Sports HD works Fine!

And how :shock:

The only way to watch live sport :)

[PeteyD]

Hope you enjoy paying for advertisements :D

[Grunt]

Hope you enjoy paying for advertisements :D

Would they be the same as waiting to downlaod?

Ads would be once every hour I think with hte golf by the way. Time to get a piss in and a drink.

[PeteyD]

no waiting to download moit, live stream. Same as you watching, in HD and all, with the stupid ads even.

[virge666]

Has anyone noticed that Scott is putting cross handed (left hand low) ??

Has he been doing that for long ?

[MegaWatty]

I noticed it and thought the thing. I'm sure I've seen more and more using cross hand recently.

[Johnny Canuck]

They all want to be like the Canuck. Is it just coincidence that Nuffie is now putting cross handed?

[MegaWatty]

There's tricks on those greens JC!

[McMw]

Has anyone noticed that Scott is putting cross handed (left hand low) ??
Has he been doing that for long ?

at least for 3 weeks - and as all commentators allude to when they see players switch to cross-handed, they all say - BETTER stroke...

[markTHEblake]

The last time I bothered watching Telly on the internet, it was crap. Though I guess it was probably 10 years ago :-)

Just tried that BBC stream on VLC player is brilliant, and it is not exactly low quality either. Looks like i can record as well.

[simmsy]

comment of the night just then, talking about the wind on course -

"balls are oscillating all over the course at the moment" i couldn't help but think of Yoss out tonight at the Charles Hotel.

[ParMaster]

Sorry but can you guys explain to me WTF Robert Rock's caddie is doing and why, when RR hits his putt??

[MegaWatty]

Sorry but can you guys explain to me WTF Robert Rock's caddie is doing and why, when RR hits his putt??

Helping him line the putt up.

[ParMaster]

It looks like he is doing pushups on the green.

I'm sure he could be penalised for 'testing the surface' as well.

[Johnny Canuck]

So then we can penalise Villegas when he reads putts?

[mike]

Umm. This St Andrews place. It looks like there used to be a golf course there.

[TheTrueReview]

For those who don't know the Open Championship has put out an iphone app. It includes a 'live coverage' option. It works well. Enjoy.

[McMw]

didn't expect Oos to still be in the lead, and now by 4 over Casey...how many strokes did DJ had at R4 at US Open?
looking at the rest behind (no Callaway Staffers in site, so no Grand Slam this year)...Henson and Westwood are the dark-horse I reckon...
Kaymer - nah...

[henno]

The VLC site is down. Try this playlist instead:


http://www.myp2pforum.eu/threads/34834-UKTV-VLC-Playlist

Works fine for me.

[markTHEblake]

Not working for me?

[ParMaster]

http://jhontvlive.blogspot.com/2010/04/channel-2.html

Give that a go Mark. Any luck?

[markTHEblake]

No, you?

[ParMaster]

Yep working fine for me mate..

[virge666]

How good is the BBC and Fox coverage.

I love the 2 minute Aussie highlight package after each ad break,

Wayne Grady is a friggin knob, but the rest of the lads are good to listen to.

[Eag's]

Have to agree Virge this coverage shits over any yank coverage by a country mile.

[mike]

Did Barnes and McIlroy organize to coordinate their colours? ffs
Ricky Fowler looks like a kumquat.
Why is Fanny Sunesson so fat? She walks 50 km most weekends. Man she must eat a lot.
Oosthuizen looks cool as a cucumber. He'll win this by a street.

[ParMaster]

How amazing was Fowler's putt on 17?? Must have been 200 feet!

[Webster]

Why is Fanny Sunesson so fat? She walks 50 km most weekends. Man she must eat a lot.


I think she's a vagitarian.

[McMw]

this was the only BOpen I watched from when the leader teed off till the end (couldn't stay up for the speech tho) - the other being Faldo's win at Murifield!
This Oos is made of some stuff, I half-expected him to drop 3 shots (at least) by the turn - but that smooth swing - WOW!!!
