It wasn't the best start, but I don't think it was a total disaster. I really enjoyed the 2 games with Braidon vs Mardow, even though there were connection issues with the site for some people.

This is just the start and they will go from strength to strength I think, plenty of people are very supportive of it (including myself) so I don't think today will have done much damage to the success they will have in the future.

I'd have rather just downloaded the recorded games, because the live broadcasts were so poor quality.

Nevertheless, it was great to hear some expert commentary by Parfait. :)

I agree that it will get stronger in the future. However, they should have tested the system before it came to playing live. Would have saved us a lot of grief. I didn't get to see the mardow games and I heard that they were good games. The commentary on the first game seemed laggy as did the game itself. I'll continue to support it however.

They did plenty of testing during the week and got it running fine, the problem is today was kind fo a test as it was the sheer volume of traffic that caused some of the problems. The lag in the Cup game was unforseen though I think.........

im pretty sure the lag came from having 2 people broadcasting the same program, stressing it, and there was an unforseen amount of viewers even tho it was kinda low...150 tops?
