No British Open on FTA

[goonie]

Looks like no British Open on Free to Air, if channel nine still have rights I wish they would hand it over to OneHD

[MegaWatty]

Online stream it is! Although Foxtel is nice. :)

[TourFit]

Foxtel will just show the monstrous 9+ hour BBC coverage...no problem AT ALL here.

No idiot Aussie golf nobodys telling us about the 15 Australians in the field that will will probably miss the cut by 8.

[goughy]

Don't care about that. Any coverage is better than no coverage! My favourite major. Won't be this year!

Yep just checked the Foxtel guide. Its a marathon 9 or so hours starting at 6pm. Perfect!

[Jarro]

Thank god for Foxtel 8)

[Grunt]

Mmm, Jarro remember IQ2 as well :)

[Jarro]

How could i forget that 8)

[PeteyD]

sux

[BrisVegas]

****!

[Jarro]

sux


****!

I'll do a shot-by-shot blog for you guys if you like ?
:p

[PeteyD]

Gnome

[AndyP]

That's one way to keep Yoss off your back in the post count.

[Daves]

Just watching the lead up previous highlights show now.

[Dotty]

Mmm, Jarro remember IQ2 as well :)
Grunt, old buddy, old friend. I need to catch up and hear all your LA stories sometime soon. ;)

[MegaWatty]

Goonie. You have a computer with internet. You will be able to watch The Open.

[Grunt]

Grunt, old buddy, old friend. I need to catch up and hear all your LA stories sometime soon. ;)


Like taking a wrong turn in Inglewood and driving a bright yellow hire car in one of the most dangerous parts of LA. :)

[MegaWatty]

Compton?

Crenshaw?

[Grunt]

Compton?

Crenshaw?

Just in Inglewood, supposedly real bad. Guys from up there said they would have come up to the car for a deal and if that was not on they would have just mugged me.

Stayed away from Compton but drove through Crenshaw a few times was not too bad there. Were some other areas that had the hair stand up though.

[oncewasagolfer]

Don't care about that. Any coverage is better than no coverage! My favourite major. Won't be this year!
+1 all the majors should be shown live on fta what a joke!

[Jarro]

That's one way to keep Yoss off your back in the post count.

Do blogs count towards your post count ?

:-k

[morgy]

Best place to stream it?

[oncewasagolfer]

Maybe myp2p

[oncewasagolfer]

That 24/7 golf channel on veetle seems to have been taken down:(

[MegaWatty]

It'll be back...some day.

[PeteyD]

If an aussie is in contention channel 9 will magically be able to show Sunday. Mongrels.

[Webster]

If an aussie is in contention channel 9 will magically be able to show Sunday. Mongrels.
Won't be the same without Leigh Diffey though.

[oncewasagolfer]

Won't be the same without Leigh Diffey though.
Neal cordy did a good job:lol:

[AndyP]

+1 all the majors should be shown live on fta what a joke!Why should they?

[oncewasagolfer]

Because not everyone can afford paytv or justify it's expense.

[Bruce Dickinson]

FTA had the open and chose not to show it. Channel 9 used to do the event the injustice of showing it at 11.30pm after reruns of crap US sitcoms, and in delay

[Iain]

Because not everyone can afford paytv or justify it's expense.

But not every sport is on FTA all the time.

Deal with it.

[oncewasagolfer]

But not every sport is on FTA all the time.

Deal with it.
:lol:

[BrisVegas]

British Open golf and French Open tennis were dropped from the anti-siphoning list as of Jan 1... Hence no compulsion for Channel 9 to show it.

Golf that must be shown on FTA is as follows:-

Each round of the Australian Masters tournament, played as part of the Professional Golfers Association Tour of Australasia.

Each round of the Australian Open tournament, played as part of the Professional Golfers Association Tour of Australasia.

Each round of the United States Masters tournament, played as part of the Professional Golfers Association Tour.

[Chris32]

History tells me it will be on, in part in the early hours of the morning. The guide will say something else but I am pretty sure they will show something

It happens every year, shame Kerry Packer isn't still around, he'd have it on Prime Time

[AndyP]

Because not everyone can afford paytv or justify it's expense."Everyone" doesn't need to. In relative terms, hardly anyone watches it.

[shazza_rs]

Boo hoo. Not everyone is a golf fan. Golf fans are only a small audience. If it's that much of an issue for you, get paytv. If you can't justify the cost stop whingeing.

[oncewasagolfer]

I had a whinge to get that very response:)

[Dotty]

I'd boycott channel 9 programs, but they have nothing worth watching.

I might have to tolerate an hour of the nerds, 2.5 men, the block or the embarrassing TGA, just to know which advertisers to stop patronising.

[oncewasagolfer]

I only watch the news and footy show on ch 9

[BrisVegas]

I pretty much just watch the channel 10 news and then the ABC news & 7:30 report on tv. The kids give ABC4Kids a pounding though. SBS has some good shows on too, but nothing I plan my weeknights around.

[Yossarian]

That's one way to keep Yoss off your back in the post count.

I have some standards you know.

[Jarro]

So, roll on thursday night at 6pm ..... beers in hand, Open on the Foxtel

8)

[goonie]

Goonie. You have a computer with internet. You will be able to watch The Open.

Yeah i know but i normally record it on my PC so i can watch it at a more reasonable time and skip all the boring stuff, and I won't be up in the AM watching it. I would consider paytv if it wasn't such a rip off, i could get the channels i wanted and not all the crap, and if it wasn't full of ads.

[Eag's]

Amen brother :smt023

[Hamo84]

+1 all the majors should be shown live on fta what a joke!

I agree but, no use showing it on ONE HD when those of us who dont have HD cant watch it?

[Tongueboy]

just get fox and be done with it

[oncewasagolfer]

They could show it on GEM or GO! Then they wouldn't have to compromise their awesome line up of shows on 9.

[Jarro]

just get fox and be done with it

Exactly...

... then you can watch the replays of the this years Origin series as well 8)

[oncewasagolfer]

I hate rugby

[AndyP]

They should have it on the ABC only, because nearly everybody has access to that.

[Chris32]

From what I can see the iPhone app has live streaming...
Bet it's uk only though

[oncewasagolfer]

That would be cool if it worked. Possible to make your ip look like one from the uk?

[MegaWatty]

That would be cool if it worked. Possible to make your ip look like one from the uk?

Yup. Get a VPN set up.

[oncewasagolfer]

Yup. Get a VPN set up.
Would http://www.freeukvpn.com/ work?

[MegaWatty]

I use vpnauthority.com

[simmsy]

is there anything your not dodgy at?

[MegaWatty]

Not dodgy.

You're welcome.

[simmsy]

no guess not but still.

[MegaWatty]

Do it.

[Chris32]

I reckon it will work without doing that, from what I can see.

AV cable out into the telly should be as good as anything really

[oncewasagolfer]

I reckon it will work without doing that, from what I can see.

What without a VPN? The BBC site?

[Chris32]

Through the iphone app without using VPN

[oncewasagolfer]

Does an iPhone have av out?

[MegaWatty]

Does an iPhone have av out?

Yup (http://www.iphonehacks.com/2011/03/apples-new-digital-av-adapter-brings-hdmi-output-to-iphone-4-ipad-and-ipod-touch-4g.html).

[oncewasagolfer]

Cool will also work on my iPod touch. As usual though is way overpriced might see if there is a non apple branded one.

[MegaWatty]

I wouldn't expect much from a stream on an iphone onto a 32"+ panel.

Your computer is still your best bet!

[MegaWatty]

It's not Veetle, but here's The Golf Channel. (http://www.free-tv.dk/golfchannel2.html)

[Nuffie]

I'll have fox for two more weeks. Then it will be sports tonight for all the highlights of the US PGA I'm suspecting.

[MegaWatty]

Nuffie. Internet. Amazing.

[Nuffie]

Nuffie. Internet. Amazing.

Haha, not when you only get 1 GB a month :) AND the iPhone usage has been a killer also...

[idgolfguy]

He doesn't follow threads well.

[dean0820]

seems they are broadcasting a lot online thru official channels like the open site itself.

[oncewasagolfer]

I wouldn't be counting on the open app to provide your fix of golf just had a look and there was a message 'unable to stream live coverage in your region'. Think I will be giving mega's suggestion a go.

[MegaWatty]

There's a bit of action on the iPhone app at the moment. Shame it's not on iPad. :(

[oncewasagolfer]

I can't view it but can watch the open champ stream on the laptop

[MegaWatty]

There's two streams on there.

I'm not using a VPN.

[oncewasagolfer]

The app won't let me view either streams just says off air not available in your region..ghey

[MegaWatty]

They know you're in Victoria.

Typical British weather it seems, a mixed bag of everything.
http://www.opengolf.com/en/News/LatestNews/2011/07/Weather-outlook.aspx

[Greeny]

It does seem to be a mix of everything. It seems even the meteorologists aren't sure as they seem to be forecasting everything, just in case everything arrives!

[Yossarian]

How much bandwidth or download limit type stuff is it going to chew if I stay up and watch it all night?

[MegaWatty]

Who cares?

[Yossarian]

My old man.

[oncewasagolfer]

My old man.
You still live at home?:)

[Yossarian]

No my boyfriend is really old.

[oncewasagolfer]

No my boyfriend is really old.
That makes more sense

[Chris32]

Live audio streaming on iphone now

[matty]

Yep just checked the Foxtel guide. Its a marathon 9 or so hours starting at 6pm. Perfect!

You made my day MT. Didn't realise the coverage started so early!

[Iain]

Try foxtel.




;)

[MegaWatty]

The Open Website is showing it.

[oncewasagolfer]

Only on holes 14,15&16 from what I can see

[jaybam]

Hd foxtel is worth a look. Channel 205

[Yossarian]

Did anyone else know that it was on FOXTEL? I really had no idea.

[oncewasagolfer]

LA?

[gazgolf1]

Typical crap coverage by the poms, I did'nt see a scoreboard for the first half an hour and it was if there were only 2 groups on the whole course.

[Ned]

Did anyone else know that it was on FOXTEL? I really had no idea.

What's FOXTEL ?

[simmsy]

What's FOXTEL ?

an overpriced scam that on a very odd occasion has something worthwhile.

i wish i had it right now!

Social visit to Yoss's place called for?

[moree golfer]

I am watching on a stream still up, p3pk4.blogspot.com, channel 2 or 3 can't remember which.

[moree golfer]

Is it my eyes or is Ernie Els driver really short??

[MegaWatty]

Yeah but that's only 3 holes

Picky!

Better than listening to it!

[WBennett]

Tennis on the radio is bad. Golf on the radio would be worse.

A bloke I know hates the british open as its 'golf of a cow paddock'

[oncewasagolfer]

The open is my favorite major I like the undulating land and varying weather conditions it's not just target golf.

[oncewasagolfer]

The radio broadcast isn't too bad at least they update the scores

[Sydney Hacker]

I'll have fox for two more weeks. Then it will be sports tonight for all the highlights of the US PGA I'm suspecting.

You are out of luck, hasn't sports tonight been axed?

Unbelievable. He is 61 and still making cuts in major championships. Awesome.

[oncewasagolfer]

Scotty Cameron mittens?;)

[MegaWatty]

Just normal Titty's.

I bet they sell out next week!

[aussieashley]

Scotty Cameron mittens?;)

Tour Preferred?

[oncewasagolfer]

Titty's to keep their hands warm, that's cool:)

[Johnny Canuck]

Copied from Ping Mittens.

And dipped in hunny.

[oncewasagolfer]

Copied from Ping Mittens.
The ping ones aren't as soft though

Ultimittens. Same thing. Totally awesome!

What are people's opinions on the coverage? While I don't mind watching Tom Watson some extended coverage of other players wouldn't go astray.

I think it's good. Showing triple bogey's from every other player isn't very exciting.

[MegaWatty]

Gotta love Jimenez's warm up routine!

He is awesome.

[oncewasagolfer]

Gotta love Jimenez's warm up routine!
He is a character stretching and smoking a cigar:)

[Ferrins]

Extremely unlukky last time, and have you seen those lil knockdowns he's hitting :mrgreen:

[MegaWatty]

He looks good. He wouldn't have a look in if Clarke had made those first 3 putts.

[TheNuclearOne]

He looks good. He wouldn't have a look in if Clarke had made those first 3 putts.

LOT of pressure on Clarke too, but yeh the story might fit tomorrow.

[TheNuclearOne]

How good is Clarke's ballstriking right now :shock:

[markTHEblake]

Oh Ricky you're so fine...

[idgolfguy]

Bjorn again!

[dc68]

Go D Clarke!!!!!!!!!!

[raidrboy]

Can anyone tell me if any of the Australians made the cut? You wouldn't think so from the pommie telecast on Austar all I am seeing is Tom Watson which is okay and then McIlroy and that little fake Rickie Fowler got I hope neither he or Mickelson win it would turn me off golf forever.

[Hamo84]

Scott, Richard Green, Allenby, Day and Matthew Millar made the cut. Realistically only Adam Scott and maybe Richard Green have a chance of making a run at it.

What would be so wrong about Fowler winning? given how bad the conditions have been any player who wins will have really earnt it.

[oncewasagolfer]

Aussies (http://scoring.opengolf.com/leaderboard.sps?iTourNo=2011060&optsel=pos&lang=en)

[MegaWatty]

This is shaping to be a great day.

Lefty on the charge. Clarke looking sharp. Ricky seems to have the green speed down pat but needs some to drop.

Bugger it. After 2, 11, 2 finishes, I'm going for gold and attempting the late nighter again.

[MegaWatty]

Philby!

Look out.

[idgolfguy]

I can't - too tired now, going the IQ to watch tomorrow. Wish I could stay up. Spirit is willing but mind and body isn't.

[Johnny Canuck]

Phil could pay for shotmaker!

[MegaWatty]

Nice little 450 yard drive, through the green, from DJ!

[TheNuclearOne]

PM my god!

[MegaWatty]

Oh baby! He's killing it!

[TheNuclearOne]

OMG the putts!

[MegaWatty]

Impressive. Mentally, I'd take Phil over Clarke. Good call JC.

[TheNuclearOne]

My god PM lmao

[Yossarian]

Clarke from what I've seen isn't flushing it he is controlling it. Tits is killin it!

[MegaWatty]

He's in range for another bird. Unbelievable.

[TheNuclearOne]

What a fantastic final day.

[TheNuclearOne]

Johnson is running just off the lip every putt it seems. Badly needs to get it going.

Bones has a nice set of choppers!

Surely Phil cannot keep going furhter under. Surely there has to be a hiccup or total holt.

[MegaWatty]

He's playing great.

[Yossarian]

**** me Clarke!!

[MegaWatty]

Homo.

[TheNuclearOne]

Suuuure enough.

Indeed hahaha. Clarkes very very relaxed.

I relate to him quite well.

Having a nervous fag. Nice.

Crackin shot from Clarke there

[TheNuclearOne]

And chip from Phil.

[MegaWatty]

Good to see AK back.

[TheNuclearOne]

Loving these lip hitting pivotal putts.

[Johnny Canuck]

tough to watch. i've always been a huge clarke fan, but mick brings the money.

[TheNuclearOne]

Bunker from that? I'd be spewin' lol

[TheNuclearOne]

Phil's run sure did end for now. It was going too well. Clarke looking sooo solid at the same time. He's killing clutch putts. It's Clarkes to lose.
