Media zone's live internet coverage not available in Canada?

Why tease us like this? Horrible. Simply horrible.

Canada has TV coverage for the WC, as well in Switzerland and lots of other countries. That's why they won't do parallel coverage in those countries.

A friend of mine, who is Slovakian, would like to see the Slovak-games, but they are playing the same time Finland is, so obviously they only show the Finnish games here, and not the Slovak ones... Can he see those games on mediazoe, or are those games unavailable then as well?

Among countries taking part in the tournament, the online boradcast is only available in the US

This site will show Slovakia's games online (though it's not exactly 100% sure): http://www.tw1.at/sport.htm

I live in France. Some stupid channel has acquired the rights to show the Worlds. But their priority will be to show the tennis tournament in Rome and soccer. Which means that on the opening day there will be 0 games, on the 2nd day 1 game, on the 3rd day 1 recorded game, etc ... crap! We should be allowed to watch the games that won't be on TV in our respective countries for God's sakes! :cry:

I am a Canadian sitting on a beautiful South Korean island thanking the hockey gods for the full web-based coverage of the entire tournament, live and on demand. :)

You think the lockout is bad? How about not being able to watch any NHL games even though a dozen are on a night?

Just imagine how it felt for me not to be able to watch the NHL because not even the digital satellite companies in this country provide anything more than the all-star game and a few of the final games.

The hockey world should wake up and do what the MLB has done: provide full web-based coverage of games for a price.

That's what you get for living France. C'mon, move to Canada. We'll let you in. You'll be able to the watch the world juniors every Christmas, the world championships every spring, the world under 17s, the under 18s, major junior, midget hockey. Hell, maybe even the NHL someday. What a country!

Are you joking? TSN's coverage is total crap.

No I'd rather live in the US or Japan, and watch ALL the games with MediaZone.

Actually I was thinking about the same thing. I wanna start a petition asking the NHL to make the same service as baseball's MLB.TV!

ESPN's in France now it sounds like it ;)

I'm in -- had I known earlier could have saved 10 bucks but whatever - 40 bucks for 56 games is a bargain

Yeah, sometimes you have to scratch your head. If they had Canada/Switerland at the same time as Russia/USA, they'd show the Canada game(And probably won't tape delay the other one for later). Like we can't all figure out beforehand Canada will win by at least 8 goals. I'd really like to see Russia in a preliminary game, but guess what, their schedules seem to conflict with Canadas. So, instead, I'll be watching 8 games of Canada playing whoever. Sure, Canada/Czech or Sweden will be at least a good game. But do I really need to see them sit out their stars and go globetrotters on Austria?

horrible!

I hope the Bandwidth is good by Media Zone.

horrible!


This is what us Americans go through almost all year round. Media zone :bow:

I agree with you 300 %. NHL wake up!!!!!

The video is bad, audio is great -- the announcers are Austrian.

I am just waiting for "Get to da choppa"

Yeah the Video isn't great and the announcer is obviously not very good at English. Then again neither am I. The download will probably be better quality. I'm watching it on my TV and it's still not that great visually.

Yea..the announcer is barely saying anything...repeating himself a lot as well.

The live feed isnt that great (its still ok) but the replays looks really good.

2 bad the announcer doesn't know hockey....it was just a 2 on 2 and he said, "Looks like another breakaway." lol

Yeah the Video isn't great and the announcer is obviously not very good at English.
I disagree totally, his English is very clear.

The picture is grainy and dark-ish, but it's completely watchable, and I only got a few short freezeups at the end. Money well spent so far for me. :)

Which cast were you watching? I thought the announcer for the Canadian game really didn't know his stuff....

That's the game I was watching. I had no problem understanding him whatsoever. Nothing he said stood out to me as being blatantly wrong, but I generally don't pay a whole lot of attention to commentators unless they're discussing a replay or something, and I agreed with his analysis on just about all of the replays. I thought he was very professional and he sounded to me like he's a regular PBP guy for hockey.

Anyway, it's HOCKEY and I actually get to SEE IT! I see nothing to complain about. Easy enough to turn the sound off if it bothers you. It could be worse, Canadians have to listen to Mcguire, lol. :)

still a bargain for 56 games though thats for sure -- going to try my gaming machine for this afternoon's games. watched this mornings on my laptop and it was a little grainy, but still fantastic (to be able to watch hockey)

still a bargain for 56 games though thats for sure
Easily !

I'd have paid thirty dollars for the final four games alone!

And with no NHL playoffs as May begins.... this beggar ain't choosy. :)

Agreed, once again im so glad a web site is doing this. :handclap:

still can't believe canadians can't have access to this, what a shame.

it's not about Canadians, it's about every country that gets a crappy TV coverage like Russia, France ... everyone should have access to MediaZone!!!

If you are sure the purchase was made...just click what video feed you want to watch and as the video is loading up it will ask you to put ur e-mail address and PW in.

I'm glad I didn't waste my money on this tripe

Sorry for breaking the rules and posting something in French.

Your problem is Canada the country or TSN because in Quebec you have the choice of watching the English TSN or the French RDS although IMO RDS is so much worse than TSN. RDS' commentators are as biased as TSN if not more. Not only do they exagerrate Quebecers performances but their data is so often incorrect. What comes out of their mouth are 40 % wrong.

P.S. French television simply sucks. All French can do good are documentaries and TV news magazines.

You guys can download the games, right?

Could someone download a game and upload it on rapidshare, to share the games with us, the games of the 30th april are now downloadable.I don't know, the files are maybe too big and all but it'd be VERY apreciated....

...?

Great idea! :yo:

See the post above yours. This is illegal.

I would have happily ordered this service, but my Windows Media Player has decided to stop working at this most convenient time. I have tried everything, but nothing helps and I just keep getting error messages. Anyone else have WMP problems?

Have you tried downloading a newer version of windows media player?

Have you tried downloading a newer version of windows media player?

Sure have. I think 10 is the latest version and I've got that. I have even tried downloading older versions to see if they work! I've been on WMP message boards and tried a bunch of suggested fixes, but it's useless. Unbelievable. Why can't these things just bloody work??? :madfire:

I'm curious what type of error messages you've gotten. On one of my computers it's worked fine, on the other one, I've gotten nothing but error messages about the certificates (the verification stuff). Updated WMP, etc. The suggested fix is to reinstall Windows, which is not going to happen. :shakehead

--------------

On a side note, apparently some of you still don't get it, judging from the posts I've deleted. Stop asking people to download these games and upload them somewhere or in any other way give or sell them to you. It's illegal, and you need to stop asking about it here.

im the one who had problems earlier - i got it straightened out and everything works fine. it was a billing error that was likely as much my fault as theirs. ive watched a bunch of games, and once you get used to the euro commentators killing the language its great. i find the streaming games to be a little patchy to watch - in full screen you can barely follow the puck sometimes...it isnt hdtv by any stretch. i found the best way to watch was to download the completed game, then watch. the quality is much better, and its easier to jump aound in the game. its a worth investment imo, especially this year. depending on how exciting the nhl is next year, i may get it again. the wjc's like this would awesome - i would get that in a heartbeat...or even some junior games in canada.

FYI - I just found this!! If you order Mediazone thru Fox Sports, you can get the All Access Pass at a discounted price of $34.99 instead of the $39.99 at Mediazone webpage, here's the link:

if youre a usa hockey member -you shouldve gotten an email discount coupon so you can watch for 20 (just usa) or 25 (everything). sweet.
