that's what will eventually hurt me more than anything...

 

the 8 dedicated channels (plus BBC1, BBC2 and BBC4) of 2016 (not to mention the 24 sat channels in 2012) will be missed a lot...

 

 

The 24 Channels of 2012 were really only 12, but doubled up SD & HD.

no, on satellite there were 24 feeds all in HD, working all day long...

 

basically, every sport had a dedicated channel...

 

so far, it's been the dream coverage of all times...

I'm assuming the Eurosport Player falls under one of those two categories, or are they planning to bring an entirely new system live in the weeks before the Olympics?

 

Edit: just checked and apparently the Eurosport Player is the go-to place in the Netherlands, with basically everything live. Dutch NOS has a sublicense for the rights to many of the competitions with Dutch athletes.

 

That means my Eurosport Player subscription will once again pay itself back easily with hundreds of hours of live Olympics :woohoo: 

Yes, same with me. ESP on the ready.

With regards to local Hungarian coverage, I hope the local broadcaster (M4 Sport) makes available all the streams on their website (during Rio there were 12 or so different streams)

The main coverage is probably again 2 channels (M4 and M4+) as it was back then.

Ah ok, if that is the way your provider did it.  My memory is that actually the 12 Olympic Broadcast channels we got on cable were indeed enough to cover ever single televised event (there were a couple of non-televised things like archery ranking day).

I think it is precisely those extra streams which are now ESP only. 
 

Come to think…..will I have enough HDMI slots in my TV?  :mumble:

yeah, I remember that it was different between Satellite, cable and red button coverage, with satellite offering more than the other options...

 

at that time, I just got crazy jumping from one event to the other like never before (even if I've always been used to "olympic zapping" on satellite since I got my forst dish in 1996)...:d

I think the days of national broadcasters showing multiple streams are over. Ireland was the same. 6-12 streamed events available. I think the Discovery deal may mean everyone is down to 1 or 2

Sounds like it was the same live, but with satellite offering more catch-up options. The key thing is going to be how quickly the ES Player transfers live events to archived catch-up coverage. If it’s instantaneous, fine. If there’s a consistent lag……:mirror:…..life will quickly get tough.

looking at what they do with the tennis feeds, they're quick...but they always put a spoiler of the final result included in the window of the ondemand feed...

 

if they do something like that with a single olympic feed, I don't know what I'm gonna do...:spank: :smash:

      Winter Olympic Games Milano Cortina 2026 Early Qualification Predictions

      By orangeman · Posted

      As a Montreal Canadien fan, I am in agreement. However, he is struggling recently and is demoted to the 4th line this week. Hoping he can turn it around.

      I read now that Valentina Rodini will be in the new team of Tizzano + Galtarossa and Martini. I was probably in such an information bubble on Instagram that I thought that only Abbagnale was running a campaign and had a team of people around him. That's why I was surprised by his defeat + the fact that, for example, Rodini supports his rival. But as I wrote, for me the change in the general coach position is a plus. We need a new opening and a new impulse: Cattaneo had his best results in Tokyo and then he only explained that his rowers were running away abroad to the USA to study and that's why he had worse results. Ok, except that it's the same in Romania and Greece but they results are comparable or better. It's obvious that no one here will make the UK or the Netherlands, because we don't have such resources and money but I think we can repeat the Romanian results (2 gold - 3 silver in Paris) and that will be a much better result than the 2 silver in this year.

      Abbagnale boasted that he had 80 per cent a few days before the vote (I still have the screen) and ran again as a result of a power deal. Not a great loss.   I have doubts about the new technical director though, you can't announce him during the congress, brandishing the scalp of the Abbagnale era technical staff (who then, were Crispi's men). Let's hope there are no rifts between the new staff and the athletes, it had to be handled better.

      I was surprised by Abbagnale's defeat. I thought he was a sure of victory, since he decided to run - I read some source that he didn't know if he would start before Paris 2024. What do you think about it?

      Cattaneo was good but his peak was in Tokyo 2021. Then there was such stabilization - stagnation. In Paris the result was in line with expectations but without the wow effect. They threw everything that was best into the quadruple sculls and it was enough for a only silver. Now without the lightweight sculls in LA I think that radical changes are needed to remain competitive. Previously there was a 3-year Olympic cycle due to Covid, so big changes weren`t good but now I think the time is right. Although of course more funds are needed for this sport in Italy, because even the best coach will not overcome this vel our men`s alpine skiing sector

      Davide Tizzano (1996 Olympic Champion, men's double sculls) is the new President of the Italian Federation, as he defeated the (now former) President Giuseppe Abbagnale by a very small margin (52% to 48%) in last week's federal elections   and he's already at work to make up for the last 8 disappointing years (at least in terms of Olympic success): his first move is bringing back home  Antonio Colamonaci  who made  great in the past 8 years   https://www.oasport.it/2024/11/canottaggio-cambia-la-direzione-tecnica-dellitalia-arriva-il-guru-che-ha-reso-grande-la-romania/   let's see if he can make  great again, now
