2011/2012 Grand Prix - Online Viewing Options

[Ziggy]

IceNetwork in US, right?

What about the rest of us?

Personally I've found tvteka.tv to be the best of the Russian websites offering online streaming.

NTV is going to be showing all of the Grand Prix again, right?

Erm, no, NTV has nothing to do with the Grand Prix this season. They haven't bought the rights. Eurosport did. While Eurosport can be watched on NTV, their schedule is very hectic and I don't know if I survive the Skate America schedule.... I will have to stay awake day and night

Also, the broadcast will be divided between Eurosport 1 and Eurosport 2 and since there is no way for me to watch Eurosport 2 on my TV I had to go to Eurosport website and pay there to watch these channels online.

Ziggy, what's that TVteka site? I can't find\open it

In Canada, there is CBC Sports and also Radio Canada.

In Italy - Rai Sports may be.

CCTV in China may show some things.

TVteka can be watched only outside of Russia.

I only have infos about the first wo GPs, but SA will be pre-recorded on Saturday and live on Sunday evening at 22.40.
For SC there will be a 3 hour synthesis on November 2nd.
Last year there was a live channel (without commentary) on the RAIsport website, but I doubt you can find a link of it that's not geoblocked.

[Ziggy]

SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT!

I can't believe it...

NTV Sport coverage was always so amazing. They would show everything, if not on the main channel, then on the other ones.

And Eurosport is only going to show small bits and not all the events either.

Dammit, we got so screwed.

I guess I'll have to find some decent proxy and watch it on Ice Network.

That's a pity, but anyway it's something.
Could you please give a link to the live channel you mentioned? I am going to try with proxy may be if I am lucky.

Ziggy, I really wish you the best of luck. Last week I was trying to connect to CBC with proxy and I just failed, like last season too

But, actually, yesterday I was planning my time a little bit ahead and I noticed that Cup of Chine will all be live on Eurosport International and Eurosport 2

There are two tv channels (RAIsport1 and RAIsport2) and three web channels (RAIsportweb).
Let me know if you need a translation of something
I forgot to say that usually RAIsport2 shows the broadcast of the first channel an hour later (if there aren't two important events at the same time).

Oh,thanks a lot I added the site to my bookmarks and I just only hope that there will be at least something on RAI channels this season.

Here you can find when RAIsport will broadcast the first two GPs, unfortunately it looks like it won't be live. I'll let you know if RAIsport web will broadcast it, but the link I gave you in the previous post is geoblocked, do you know if there's a way to unblock it (or something like that)?

Were we looking at the same schedules? Because as far as I can see Eurosport is going to show pretty much the whole events whether live or tape delayed.

[pani]

NTV+ in past years really show ALL competitions, not like Eurosport will show this season. Hope next year GP will retun on NTV+ again

I wouldn't say pretty much, in fact.
Skate America and Skate Canada are not live on the most part.

And some better news (rumour stage at the moment, but one of FSOnline users is pretty certain about that, since even the commentator was named ):
It seems like GP will be shown live in Russia by Sport 2 channel. So anyone who has access to that channel outside Russia - welcome to try

However - I just want to emphasize - I am not very much certain of this fact. The schedule on the website is not updated yet and I will believe all this just when I wake up early Saturday morning and will see Skate America live.

[care bear]

Maybe WEB TV has this channel Sport 2.

[FarFarAway]

May be it has, but this Sport 2 channel is very very new, it appeared just in April 2011 and the fact that I have got it in my package from my cable operator is just a mere coincidence - this channel appeared in my package about 3 months ago just from the middle of nowhere.

So I really hope that there are some services like WEB TV that have this channel outside Russia.

[Hedwig]

FarFarAway, thanks for the info. could you tell us how the Sport 2 channel is written in cyrillic?

[care bear]

Спорт 2

[FarFarAway]

Yahoo! ah higher, higher, higher (c)

Well, the rumours turned out to be true - Russia is watching the whole GP series this season LIVE.

There are two channels where GP events will be shown:

The first is the online channel Sportbox.ru, which can be found here:
http://news.sportbox.ru/video?time=1319291726&channel=0
The problem is that it seems to be geoblocked. Even for the exUSSR countries.

The second one (not yet confirmed according to the schedule, but according to the insider there will be a broadcast) is Sport 2, which I mentioned above.

I hope the information helps and FSUers can find the way to watch these channels, if they wish.

[Hedwig]

I just asked the support on WebTV if the channel Sport 2 is among their channels and they confirmed it:
"(19:43:38) --> Hello - I was wondering if the channel "Sport 2" is among your channels?
(19:43:46) <David> hi
(19:43:59) <David> yes
(19:44:36) --> oh, that is great - thank you!"
So I will update my WebTV subscription. David better was right.

The last official update from news.sportbox.ru:

The GP series will be covered by Sportbox online channel LIVE and by Sport 2 channel also complete and LIVE.

Here is the news:

Also the events will be replayed after each GP event on Rossija 2 channel.
