Yeah, Thanks.

I've been in the office for two hours and I haven't even done one minute of work.

Productivity is going to suffer BIG TIME for the next couple o' weeks.

I havent tried it but at the end of the Versus coverage yesterday they said they would have a live feed from their website.

http://www.versus.com/giro
Versus has a feed, for $30. Anybody in the US (Colorado specifically) been able to get the international feeds to work? I've only gotten the NRK feed, and my Norwegian is worse than my Italian.

If this is the future of cycling, count me out.

Here's a possibility - last year, I watched the RAI video feed and opened a second window from Eurosport that had the english language audio. Eurosport audio seemed to be maybe 15 seconds or so behind the live video but still not bad for free. Haven't tried it yet this year.

I had the dual feed like RIDEWT - uk audio and RAI video. The video feed had to be restarted several times though.

I haven't gotten any audio in USA from eurosport.

If you can figure it out, let me know.

Thanks

Has anybody been able to get any live audio in English to work?

Actually I've been enjoying the Italian on RAI. I don't know a word of it but it sounds cool.

Although the video does seem to clog up and pause as it gets closer to the end of the race.

Watching RAI coverage is how I started learning Italian, most of my vocabulary is still bike related. That and obscene questions and suggestions for the opposite sex. Both subjects seem far more memorable to me than "where is the nearest ATM?"

You know what's going on and the most likely things they would be talking about so it's not that hard to start matching words to actions.

Thanks for the RAI link.
Problem is that every morning I click on the link while the video screen is "buffering" my internet connection is killed. I have to reset the modem and wifi router.
Suggestions?

Best I've got so far. Italian feed from RAI uno. Hey, it works. Realaudio, better than nothing.

For me the RAI links work poorly as they freeze up regularly, although today was good up until the final kms. However, the Norwegian ones are very good picture quality. Today I watched the Norwegian video and listened to the Italian for most of the stage.

I guess I missed todays stage... :(
I fired up the feed and fencing was on, in Italian! I ended up watching it for about 20 minutes.

You didn't miss much. Despite finishing in a seaside town on a sunny day the cameramen were unable to find any topless women on the beach as they did a few years ago during a Giro stage (at least I think it was the Giro).

It was the Giro... and she was there with somebody else's husband who was foolishly waving to the helicopter cameraman.

Norwegian feed working live right now for Stage 7. 30k to finish

I love that buffering feature.

Just as the picture becomes continous, the buffering is designed to clog it up, freeze it, stall it, and ultimately enhance the viewing experience.

The cyclingfans website has a one-click link to the Norwegian video feed merged with the English Eurosport audio. It has been working flawlessly for me all stage. I gave up on the Italian feed because it kept freezing.

Thanks for the Norwegian feed link. Fun to watch, even though I don't understand much except the riders names, and when "testa della corsa" and "ultimo chilimetro" appear on the screen. :p

I made a little page with an embedded media player that will stream the Eurosport audio
here it is (http://www.burdiman.com/giro.html)

Then I just open the Norwegian VIdeo stream in my WMP

Yeah very awesome, thanks :)

Update May 23 after stage 13.
The English audio stream with Norwegian video stream has been working like a champ every day. As others have pointed out, sometimes a few seconds delay between the two streams. Not much of an issue.

Great links!

http://www.cyclingfans.com/ is reporting that as of this Sunday there may be problems with the stream. Just in time for the big mountains. :(

They're looking for alternatives...

What time does Giro coverage start everyday on this streaming service? Thanks!

Those streams also cover other sporting events and shows, so the times vary from day to day. Check http://www.cyclingfans.com/ in the morning and they'll have a list of what time each of the streams start that day.

I watched it this a.m. at about 7:00 pacific time. It ended about and hr or so later.

I am guessing it started around 4:00 a.m. pacific time.

Coverage started around at 6am Pacific time this morning on all streams. But tomorrow being a weekend and a big mountain stage, that may be different.

Thanks for the replies! I did some research and If I am making sense of the NRK webpage, then it starts tomorrow at 8:30am EST.

Looks like Eurosport cut the live feed this morning.
Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

Yep. Same here.

The Norwegian TV pics are great, though.

Cyclingfans.com thinks the audio feed issue is a congestion problem.

I was listening to the audio earlier this morning and then i just went dead.

It's back! 0803 hrs PDT.

at 0826 hrs

:D A model of consistancy!

http://cyclingfans.com/ seems to have found that working english audio feed. :)

Enjoy the end of the race... I'm going to!

Patti

Odd, Im watching on www.channelsurfing.net it says nrk 1 up in the corner.

Hey Chris,

That's because it probably IS the NRK video feed.

Is a good site, but english is on tennis right now.

what time is today's stage supposed to start? I thought it was 8:30 est?

Tim

Edit: Never mind. It started at 9am

http://cyclingfans.com Giro player is working now with english audio. :)

Ok, strange coverage from NRK1. Nice of them to show the winner crossing the line, but the quick cut to modern media history was a bit abrupt!

Yeah. I quickly switched over to the Rai Giro player on cyclingfans and caught the end of it.
