no fox on tvu - again

[colinspooky]

oh no ---- not again ---- where has fox gone on tvu ????? :mad:

[GARYGAZZA]

Tell me about it!!!

[Abo]

Bah, I just fired up TVU and... no Fox either :bigcry:

[colinspooky]

sigh - even TVU forums are broken - who is behind TVU?

[Abo]

Wondered why I can't sign into them?

As for who's behind them? Some dodgy P2P company...

[Abo]

Try Sopcast?

http://download.sopcast.com/download/SopCast.zip

Lol, their upload bandwidth to download the player form their website is at 9.3k/sec; maybe hundreds of TVU users are desperately downloading Sopcast (me included)

[Rocsta]

I've looked on several p2p sites similar to TVU and non of them have anything listed for Fox, Sopcast has a channel (20758) labelled "Fox & CBC & CTV & NBC (check schedule)" but for the last hour they have been showing the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie on some Canadian channel, no sign of any NASCAR or Fox.

[Abo]

In a word:NO. Sopcast isn't carrying it...

[Keepitsideways]

I cant help thinking there's some Higher power above saying -

"Virgin Media User! Thou Shall Not See Live Nascar"

Its unbelievable :mad:

[Abo]

Oh well, looks like I'll be torrenting it tomorrow. And I wanted to use that bandwidth for 'Drive'...

[Abo]

There seems to be some demand for FOX:

[Abo]

<bangs head on desk>

[Abo]

Here you go, that site seem to be a bit slow in getting the Texas race, so I've found it elsewhere:

http://thepiratebay.org/tor/3665411/Nascar_2007_Texas_Samsung_Radio_Shack_500

'This file has been converted to avi and all commercials have been edited out'; sounds ideal :D

[gary_580]

i think i'll record it on 5 seems a lot less hassle

[Abo]

When's it on? I had a *quick* check on the Sky guide but couldn't see it.

[GARYGAZZA]

You missed it I think it was on early this morning.Its normally on at about 1.40am on a tuesday on Channel 5.May be it is on US FIVE or FIVE LIFE ,its worth checking.

[Abo]

Ah, that'll be why, I only checked up until about midnight. Bah.

[gary_580]

yes, was on at 00:50 this morning

[brewerkd]

all the race is posted on msn website, you can watch it online be it in a small window, they post them almost as soon as race finishes

http://video.msn.com/v/us/foxsports.htm?f=33&g=&p=&t=m1490&rf=http://msn.foxsports.com/nascar

select nascar tab and hey presto

not ideal, i really hope TVU was a blip...................

[colinspooky]

Hi just checking - you said the whole race was on that link - I only saw a five min recap. Am I missing it somewhere?

[brewerkd]

sorry, ns=ascar link only shows the latest vids posted, if search for samsung 500 then all 21 vids are there, you can add them in turn to playlist and then they play automatically 1 after the other

[colinspooky]

brilliant - certainly a last resort possibility.
Thanks
:cool:

[GARYGAZZA]

Turned on TVU TO FOX this lunchtime to make sure it came on ok.Just come in and its gone GRRRRRR :mad:

[colinspooky]

yep - just checked again ---- no fox

who puts the channels on TVU ???

:mad:

[GARYGAZZA]

:angryfire Are TVU extracting the urine!!!No Fox only Foxs (News and cartoons) :angryfire

[GARYGAZZA]

Update Fox HAS JUST APPEARED ON TVU.Not a good signal :bounce: Not showing Nascar at moment

[raybak]

no fox on my tvu showing

[colinspooky]

was on mine - wouldn't connect and is now gone......... :mad: :mad: :mad:

[GARYGAZZA]

was on mine - wouldn't connect and is now gone......... :mad: :mad: :mad:
DITTO.Just finished watching it on trackpass.Not the same,also sent a complaint to virgin media. :mad: :angryfire

[Abo]

Pointless blaming TVU, it's not their fault. TVU is P2P so if there is no-one 'seeding' the channel then we cannot watch it...

[brewerkd]

didnt bother staying up to see if tvu would have fox channel, assumed would be down..............
going to watch each race via video.msn.com from now on

1. the advert breaks are not included !
2. you can watch as and when you want and the picture image seems better

only problem is hoping not finding out the result before you watch

[colinspooky]

Is that right --- are you absolutely sure that's how it's done?

So? It explains how TVU works...

[gary_580]

So? It explains how TVU works...

We know how it works, people are asking why fox arent showing the NASCAR on TVU

[Abo]

Are you suggesting that FOX are officially streaming their TV content via TVU, except when the NASCAR is on?

[gary_580]

Fox dont stream 24/7. I've also noticed before that Fox wasnt on TVU and then suddenly it appeared 2-3 mins before a programme was about to start.

I think if they were streaming and nobody was watching it and effectively seeding it you would still see it on the list and be able to connect.

[colinspooky]

I didn't know how it worked. You obviously haven't read this entire thread. I specifically asked how it worked and Abo was kind enough to let me know, along with everyone else reading. But then you suggest Fox is streaming itself? Odd claim that. Having read that feature on cnet, as I am sure you did, that would seem a strange thing to do.
But you never know.

In the old days, wasn't broadband internet supposed to be the Holy Grail for broadcasters to easily reach a global audience? Not seen much evidence of that since which is also more than bizarre considering the sheer numbers they would attract to keep advertisers swelling with joy.
:rolleyes:

Did anyone try watching Talladega on TVU? Fox was there, but the quality was so ****e I gave up...

[gary_580]

i watched it on sopcast and was fine until 10pm when they switched from FOX to CTV.

Sopcast airing at the moment with race due to be aired at 12 midnight GMT.Picture not all that but it looks as if fox is on a channel of its own unlike lastweek when it switched channels part way through race.

[Keepitsideways]

Whats the channel number? dude :)

[GARYGAZZA]

20758

Fox not on TVU again

[Abo]

Hmm, I've got it on Sopcast but the picture quality is dreadful :(

Think I'll just watch the highlights

[gary_580]

Picture quality gets better the longer your on it

[Abo]

It didn't get good enough to watch it on the TV IMHO, and I'm not sitting at my PC for the whole race...

[gary_580]

Thats true, we watched it on the laptop wirelessly so at least we didnt have to sit at the PC
