110 Sport . TV to stream WSA Qualifiers

[Welsh-Snooker]

the production costs of 48 days of live snooker for Internet streaming would be in the region of £100,000

Your a funny guy remind me to email you when I am feeling down and you can send me one of your funny jokes to cheer me back up again £100,000 lol

but 110sport.tv may get watched not like your snooker coverage of the tcc if you call it that, only one table was it? crappy lighting, no commentary as for the £10 a DVD oh my sorry I may have to log off my sides are going to split.

everything is better free but if you go to prestatyn how much would it cost per session...would you expect to go there for free.

Last time I was at Pontins they charged I think £5 for the day and wildJONESEYE if you have ever been to pontins you would expect to go for FREE Ms Watkins will back me up on that one.

Oh £100,000 why is there not a icon for crying c'mon tech post up one of your great videos for us to see form the tcc so we can see your great production quality.

[wildJONESEYE]

Very good to hear but £2.99 a session is a bit steep for me!

i reckon its a good few quid cheaper than pontins prestatyn plus save a heep on petrol.

snooker wont be a success by charging nothing will they...

punters has to learn to dig deep and online at home far cheaper than going to pontins..

i reckon its a good few quid cheaper than pontins prestatyn plus save a heep on petrol.

its a good idea altho how can 3 quid per session be cheaper than 5 quid per day.. wheres my big calculator. also no video stream can be better than the live action but for those outside the uk its a grea thing, personally i would pay to watch selected sessions.

[Welsh-Snooker]

You are spot on and the online streaming if not backed up by advertising should be paid for but you get websites like cuesport.tv that charge by the month for a subscription even if it is only one two matches in the month that you want to see and the quality is crap, no commentary and all the other stuff in the subscription is pool. If i want to watch pool i will go down rileys in Newport and do that for free and have a cool beer at the same time.

as for 110sport.tv good thing what they are going but the cost is stupid it should be more like £5 a event after all it is only web streaming, they are going to be using static cameras, it is not going to cost £100,000 (sorry i am still on the floor form that comment) to turn web cam 1 and 2 on when snooker starts and turn off web cam 1 and 2 when snooker finishes unless they have the worlds most expensive monkey working for them.

See Google Video for the stuff our MS Watkinks put out a few years ago, shame she did not continue with it.

i do think £2.99 per session is a bit steep when you look at what Eurosport player charge for a year of sports.....£34.99 for a year or £3.99 for a month.

i dont expect them to follow that but £1.99 for 1 session £2.99 for a 2 session day or £4.00 for 3 sessions per day would be better..

[Alex0paul]

Considering there are only two sessions a day it therefore is 98p more expensive to watch it at home than at Pontins. Then add in the costs of accomadation and travel then whats the better deal?

yes the choice is yourse ..nobody saying you have to watch it but without 110 sport the choice wouldnt be there at all....

now you got..... go to pontins,watch online or dont thats 3 choices as apose to 2 before.

[Matt_2745]

Good news, but I'll not be watching at that price.

[hegeland]

Well the step from free coverage to 3 pounds a session is a big one, to say the least.

I understand they need to make a profit but I think they have shot themselves in the foot by setting the price tag way too high. If a ticket at prestatyn is, say, £5 a match, a cheapish web stream coverage production should be £1 - at the very most.

[jaguarf1]

What interests me - this stream will be available outside UK or not?

[April madness]

hege, ticket at Prestatyn is 5 pounds a day. So if there is 2 sessions a day, it is cheaper watching it there live (of course, not taking account of travel fees).
What we don't know - is the quality of streaming, and I don't think they will do it in HD... The other thing - will there be geographic limitations for viewers. It is written on their website that the TV is launched in UK and Far East, what exactly could that mean?

Would be interesting to see it working indeed, although at this price I would seriously consider which and how many matches I would like to watch at the qualifiers. Still, it is cheaper than to go there, but then I have been at the qualifiers before (at the EISS), enjoyed the atmosphere there and I certainly want to go there again...

HORRAY!!!!!!!!!!

£2.99 per session is a lot. ?

Exactly. Especially when you can watch the whole day for £5 when you attend in person.

A big step forward to have the option available though. But the pricing is way out. Should be something more like £10 for the whole event.

[Looki]

Should be something more like £10 for the whole event.

My thoughts exactly. It would be much better, you wouldn't have to pay each session separately and I think it would attract more viewers.

mate isnt it worth it for 98p more to just get out of bed on a boring day and click on a website and a can in hand without a 3 hour car trip and sitting behind a 7 foot giant on uncomfychairs ???????
