Well, I cant presonally fault the stream.
It had its moments throughtout the night but I didnt miss a single race and apart from the audio playing up at the end it was the usual service they provide (at a costy price though ouch)

At least its a so called "server error" rather than the old "dish blew off" the roof like speedbox used to come up with time after time. Didn't that just happen once? A World 240's at Rotorua? I think "time after time" may be a slight exaggeration? Let's do it on the terracotta, Barry B |

Not really, wasn't that the reason for NZ Stockcars in Blenheim also, and there was another one that escapes me but remember it being discussed at the time.

Actually I do recall some special "anchoring techniques" at Blenheim. I'll never forget the sudden gust of wind that did blow it away at Rotorua though  Let's do it on the terracotta, Barry B |

I've only watched one or two streams in the past (am normally there), but that was bad tonight. Bad picture, bad camera work (or at least which camera we were following), loss of picture, loss of sound, loss of both picture and sound etc etc....and somewhere along the line we lost the commentary and could only hear the cars? Glad I wasn't alone........ Let's do it on the terracotta, Barry B Completely the opposite to you Barry, im never there, so watch a lot of the streams, this is certainly the poorest performance of the season at palmy so far ...the camera operators showed no affiliation or understanding of the sport at all, the director if there is one can be accused of the same thing, even before it starting going off what was being sent to us at home was pretty diabolical...but please dont think that this is the only time weve seen absolute shyte productions, its not...but what I dont understand how they can do quite well most nights then have a shocker like tonite..and thats before it shut down!! Surely theres a group of camermen who have the experience and understanding to film superstock racing both teams and individual races out there by now??? jeez even the camera positions were poor..and two commentators covering the track unfortunately shouting over each other..probably trying to get some director or camera mans attention... with saturday night being free if you had tonite..well ok, but that doesnt meen all of a sudden its actually going to be good quality cause it was crappy when it was on tonite |

Whats going to change for tomorrow?
Is coverage going to be better?
I know of two guys that can only do one night each ( no, one is not RAMJAM) One tonight and one tomorrow. Both were going to stream the night they could not be at @47 bucks.
Guy one was there and happy,
Guy two tried to stream, but the stream was poor.
2morrow guy one caan't be there but will not stream due to night one issues.
Guy 2 will be there and witness the busters win

Have email them about code and what is happening re: replays and tonight and still no reply
Definitely going from bad to worse
Didn't book last night as not able to view and was just going to book tonights show
Will they stick to their written word and make this available free to everyone
If not then anyone interested in court case will have a ball

And there in lies the problem of the written word
FB page states "free to everyone" so on that statement alone surely everyone who has paid can expect a refund if they have paid for tonight?

The biggest problem I had was actually getting it started. It's always worked before just using Internet explorer. Wouldn't last night so as someone else had done on FB a frantic download of Google Chrome and we were away. Certainly not the best stream we've ever had but better than nothing. If everyone keeps bagging them it may go out the window like speedbox. I'm sure they are well aware of the issues last night or they wouldn't be doing tonight for free. Give them a break and let them try and sort it.

Well, well, well, don't know who is behind this but replays are on now and guess what? NOT FREE
Vtdeo-hub you have failed the offer on FB of free to everyone and not making product/service available is I believe against the rules of the Commerce Act

According to video hubs facebook page tonight isn't free anymore.
Its says the replay is free and tonights racing is $40USD again.
Pretty poor show really.

I see Video DUD are more interested in fleecing us than putting things right.I also wonder if Macgors should stop having anything to do with promoting this crowd if this is what they think of speedway people.The way i see it is its the same as guys on here that sell stuff and dont deliver video DUD have done just that.Then to tpo it off they straight out lie saying tonight is free then do a flip flop.

That's pretty crap! I understand the promoter (Robertson) set the price for this, stand to be corrected though. Don't want to see someone go under but really Video Hub, going back on what was promised last night! How much influence has the promoter had on this decision as he stands to make even more money now!
As much as I would love to watch the final night, sorry but not paying to go through that again like last night.
