I never expected to watch our Volleyball NT or our fencing players with no voice at the Olympics... moreover, we have 3 different ways to get the discovery streams and all 3 have different outcome...just unbelievable! And its a payable app which is even more shamefull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mkbw50 381 Posted July 24, 2021 Author #473 Share Posted July 24, 2021 To be honest very few people are and it is just fake outrage because it is a political issue to bash the BBC Generally, both them and Eurosport have been very good here pdr4332 1 As now we come across the world To share these Games of old Let all the flags of every land In brotherhood unfold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdr4332 149 Posted July 24, 2021 #474 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Well, this is seemingly work in progress for both ES Player and my own cable TV. I got 2 of the additional 7 Eurosport channels (the full number is only available on a different cable TV provider). On one there is handball at the moment but with English, French and Spanish commentary aired at the same time in parallel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,540 Posted July 24, 2021 #475 Share Posted July 24, 2021 I've definitely gotten used to Eurosport Player's offer, and in terms of watching what I want to watch, it's absolutely working perfectly. Basically everything is available and very easy to find (browser and Android app). The only thing is that at least 95% of the streams I've watched today are without any sort of commentary, in any language. Weightlifting had an English duo and so does taekwondo, but that's about it. Of course Eurosport 1 and 2 has commentators since it's on TV, but that's not the main point. Having all those streams without commentators is such a major letdown. You've got dozens of millions to spend on rights, but nothing for a few generic commentators?

Seemingly there are comms for many of those feeds - maybe not every single table tennis match, but certainly football, medal finals etc - but ES are having a technical ‘mare getting them all working. Things did seem to improve towards evening Japanese time, so we’ll see tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I managed to find what I want to watch from eurosport.hu or .com then Schedules/Results and at most events there is a button "Full event replay". Otherwise I just have to browse among X number of say, badminton or table tennis or judo matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When not watching live, it feels like watching the European short course championships morning heats or something... Hopefully those were all part of the technical nightmare and tomorrow they will start to be up to par with what they actually have to offer.

No, as I say, there are any number of generic Aussie, New Zealand etc comms doing 3x3 basketball, beach volley etc. In fact BBC has shown some of them which ES did not have. If you check the little info options button it sometimes says just Ambient Sound ie no sound - but also Ambient Sound, English, French, Serbian etc. In those cases, there is a comm available somewhere, but it’s just floating in space & ES can’t find it.

Yes, I am aware of that, but the thing is that 90% of the streams don't have that option where one usually chooses the audio feed. A very small amount of streams do, where you can indeed choose for the ambient sound or English or whatever, but a very large majority doesn't have that option, meaning there is no commentary available. And that's not good at all.
