WSS Portugal TV or STREAMS ???

I'm glad I only paid for a month anyhow, the Player seems to be a bit unreliable after only having it for a few hours, not broadcasting at all this morning and now freezing during the second match!

Yes, unfortunately the Dott-Brecel match is not shown. But maybe the problem is not the player itself, but the transmission from Portugal. Other channels in the player are working just fine.

snookerfan92, thanks for uploading the matches!
I have the last frames of Maguire-Britton match, and also Day-Zelinski and Day-Munstermann - if anyone is interested.

I missed the last 4 or 5 frames of that yesterday, as eurosport cut the coverage halfway through the match! Could you upload it somewhere? (preferably not youtube - because of the TF1 eurosport copyright law)

[darrus]

I'll do it - but maybe you could recommend some good service to upload videos? I don't like youtube - even without thw copyright issues, 10 minutes limit in length of the video is ridiculous.

Yes noticed on one of the tennis feeds it is absolutely torrential rain in Estoril, which I think is in Portugal isnt it, my geography isnt the best!! So maybe some kind of thunderstorm affecting the broadcast. Pity as was hoping to see Brecel but maybe they can rescue it for the highlights package on Eurosport proper.

you could upload it where I uploaded eurosport videos: on myspace videos. No-one complains about copyright issues, and there a 512mb limit per video.

Thanks, will give it a try

The highlights of snooker today from 4:30 - 5:45 was delayed half an hour again because of cycling this time. Yesterday in the first WSS programme it was delayed half an hour while they showed almost every sport in existance before the snooker! And today it's cycling which takes priority. That's 2 overruns in two programmes of the WSS.

Also, I've noticed that there is more adverts than ever on Eurosport this weekend, I'm not sure if it's been like this for very long as I only watch Eurosport for snooker, there is SO MANY ADVERTS! Some they just repeat many times after each frame. I'm not sure if it is because of the 10-red frames then there is quicker frames and less time between each commercial break but they even stopped the snooker five minutes early so they can have 5 minutes of adverts. They may be having financial difficulties but it's getting worse! Though, you can't really complain as they have helped snooker so much.

Took ages to upload...
Last frames of Maguire-Britton match that were not shown on Eurosport.

Hope it works.

Higgins-Davis match is about to start.

Bongo, as a figure skating fan I'll tell you that it's usual for Eurosport. In one of Grand Prix events this season they've shown 10 minutes of figure skating instead of planned two hours. That's Eurosport...
Still, at least they're showing something.

Maybe other sports have it worse than snooker for the overruns of programmes over theirs.

Anything for the final?

Anything for the final?

There's still tennis on Eurosport, the third set has just begun.

It doesn't
I doubt they'll cut the tennis match to show snooker.
