Availability and reliability of coverage

MOD note: not an intentional OP of a thread, this and the first 20 or so posts forked off from the TDU 2025 thread

Just started watching.

How? Aren't you in Denmark, where - rather annoyingly - it's been decided that nobody should be able to watch it?

Though, I suppose it's a bit late for me anyway to log in wherever it is....

Well not legally... So you can probably guess where!

Ah, so you aren't actually watching it. You're watching picture breakups.

 

[RedheadDane]

It's really not that bad...

Sure...

 

[tobydawq]

Sure...

It isn't... I have been able to watch perfectly fine streaming for three days now. I know you have scars, but try not to project those unto us.

If you're considering choppy streams you get thrown off all the time "fine", that's, well... fine.
I just don't.

Look, this hasn't happened once these past three days. It's exceedingly annoying that you just take it for granted that it always happens and are making us seem stupid for using it. Maybe stop with that?

On the first stage, it was a bit choppy, but the last two have been without a single issue throughout the 50 kms I've watched.

Really? It was actually easy to find the correct stream on the hellscape that's the webpage?
And not a single add?

Yes.

And no.

And why are you moving the goal posts?

I suspect tobydawg uses an adblocker as I do, so no adds, no. All we/I had to do was click on live streams and then the first stream had been taken down, so I had to click on another. That was it.

I've had horrible visits on that page as well, but it isn't always unusable - especially if you deliberately choose a lower resolution stream, which is more likely to run smoothly and not be taken down.

 

[RedheadDane]

Yes.

And no.

That site needs to die! Then maybe more people would be lobbying for actual coverage.

Wtf... Very logical conclusion to the two posts you quoted.

Maybe you need to take a breath once in a while.

I think you may be over reacting to our friend's cartoonish hatred of the glorious pirate cycling site..!!

It's just exasperating. And the same point being repeated over and over and over and over again (when it comes from a few bad experiences that don't represent reality) without the tiniest acknowledgment that it might be a little over the top and that perhaps it's not the same for everybody really does not make it more charming.

That's the funny part to me!

 

[Kazistuta]

Doesn't the 7plus stream works with VPN? Then tiz discussion would be a moot point.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

At this point, I would be quite happy if RhD got automatically locked out of the forum for 24 hours every time she starts a discussion on how the way she watches cycling is OBVIOUSLY the only way any sane person would watch cycling and everyone who disagrees is wrong. It's so tedious...

So, you're telling me that the fact that whenever I've tried to give *** yet another chance, it has turned out that... lo and behold, it's still crap is just pure bad luck?

If I were to give it my quasi-annual attempt Saturday morning, when would you suggest I get up? And if it is indeed still terrible, I expect cake! Or maybe I'll just take your citizenship, for not doing more to demand proper coverage.
(Of course, if some people would prefer I doesn't - since apparently I'm cursed and whenever I try watch this supposedly "just fine" way of watching, it'll stop working - that's okay.)

I actually wrote a message to TV2 Cykling's Facebook-page on Sunday to hear about the discrepancy of their logo being featured on the TDU website and their not showing the rest, so I would make a case that I have been doing my fair share of work there (I didn't get a response, by the way).

I think half past four would be a good time.

Are you trying to prevent me from taking your citizenship?

 

[Armchair Cyclist]

Opened largely to move the above discussion of Tiz outside the TDU thread.

The seven stream is less reliable than Tiz.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

About 20 posts to do with reliability of a site that we probably shouldn't even be discussing on the forum moved to a new thread.

That one might wither and die, or might become a useful place to use for alerts of coverage issues.

If we probably shouldn't be discussing the site, then wouldn't it be better to kill off the discussion rather than moving it to a separate thread?

It's not really promotional of it (at least on the part of one poster), nor does it even link to it, so I don't think deletion is necessary.

 

[RedheadDane]

TL;DR

The site that shall not be named gets a level of credit on this forum that it frankly doesn't deserve.
A fitting punishment - apart from being subjected to my puns - to anyone caught trying to promote it should be that they should be forced to only watch cycling there!
