Eurosport coverage

[antmanb]

I emailed them on the Monday of the European Championships and got an automatic response immediately and this, rather unsatisfactory response about an hour later:

Thanks for your email.

We are taking our coverage from Eurosport International for the championships so can therefore only show what they are broadcasting. There is a very high volume of live programming that weekend, hence why the coverage is limited.

This however does not mean we or Eurosport International are taking our figure skating coverage any less seriously, as we will continue to show as much live coverage as possible.

Kind Regards,

Joe

Thanks for the info. Still fuming that they wrecked the Euro's. 4CC's look good but I'm European so would have liked more of the Euro's instead.

I purchased a subscription to Eurosport player. It was working fine righaway, then I turned my pc off to go to work, and when I came back it wasn't working anymore.
Any suggestions?

What exactly is the problem: can you login or not even that? Maybe you can try with another browser? I know for instance that I have more trouble with Firefox than with IE

Thanks, rayhaneh: I was indeed using Firefox, but it's working fine now on Chrome. Thank you!!!

Yeah! Happy it fixed it for you - and ahead of the Men's SP too

I would highly suggest everyone to thank Eurosport for showing every single Pairs, Ice Dance and Men SP/SD performance today!

Let them know that their coverage is being appreciated.

I also told them that it would be great if they streamed the full figure skating events they have right to live through the Eurosport Player.

Oh and SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT Eurosport is broadcasting Junior Worlds...

In the past, we were able to watch everything live through the ISU website.

But now since Eurosport has the rights, we will only be able to watch like top 6 or whatever Eurosport decides to show and there will be no other way to watch the rest.

FCUK INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAWS!

Hey, would someone please post a url so that I can watch the us women underproduce tomorrow morning? Seriiously, though, can someone PLEASE direct me to where I can watch 4ccs? Btw, would the coverage be in english?

Thanks, in advance.

Somebody better at this than I probably will, but if I access Eurosport2 though TV tekka - and I found the link and intructions in the TV alert thread on this site. . It's not in English, and you'll need the google translator to navigate the site and pay your 12 bucks. There's another link and schedule in Hot Blades, Hot Passion which is the best place to find who's streaming what when.
If you're in Canada, I read on twitter that Radio- Canada will stream the women's short.

However, I don't know if the 4CC Ladies' SP will be broadcast live by Eurosport (about 4 hours from now) - it takes place before but is listed after the live Men's FS in their broadcast schedule below that was originally posted in the Kiss and Cry:

I'm posting Eurosport's schedule completed with Sunday and Monday's times. Great news is, apart from the Pairs, all the free will be live

Can somebody please kill Simon Reed? Thanks.

Why ? I think he watches too much tennis these days

Skating commentators come a lot worse than Simon Reed. You should know that, Ziggy.

[nuge]

I think he has been poor lately.I know I used to really love the partnership of Chris/Simon they worked well .Simon seems to be making mistakes more often now skaters names etc and not really making any constuctive comments.Now I much prefer Nicky Slater as he being a dancer knows what he's talking about .Hope we have Nicky for worlds.
Simon should concentrate on the tennis.Maybe that's the problem too much tennis not enough skating.

[Ziggy]

For the Simon Reed is the worst skating commentator ever. That is because he doesn't know shit about skating but pretends that he does and he will always cry foul about some skater who was undermarked and placed to low, without giving any reason for it and always being wrong. KILL HIM.

[nuge]

Chris is on his own for the dance

[umronnie]

All those hours under the sun. It's no wonder his brain is fried.
IF Eurosport promises to cover woulds and next years's Euro as well as they did 4CC I will personally buy him a wide brimmed hat. Fair enough?
