Happening on my Samsung, gave up and streaming from laptop

 

[Dam1]

Think that's what I'll have to do. Very annoying and that's £20 wasted as was going to have people round, food etc. Can't have us all gathered round a small PC with a not very good quality picture.x

 

[splashgirl45]

I’ve shared the screen from my laptop and that works well and I’m no techno expert, far from it

Presuming you've seen all the advice from Badminton TV. https://www.badminton-horse.co.uk/ways-to-watch-badminton-tv/

 

[Dam1]

Tried this with an ipad but the buffering and sound glitches made it unwatchable. Have another PC in the office so will try from there instead.

 

[Dam1]

Have now got it up on the PC- all good. How do I share it with the TV screen ?

If no Bluetooth option, you’ll need a HDMI cable.

Have you tried uninstalling the app and re-installing? The moment you click play it should be full screen

It works fine streaming from a laptop or phone, so don’t panic!

Was Tom J and Walshy’s test harshly marked or?

Expected them to be a bit higher!

I was there and saw it and thought it nicer than the mark suggests.

Fabulous first half of test but tension crept in particularly in the flying changes.A lovely horse

There

There were a lot of flying changes ‘issues’ through the day and I think some marks suffered more than others despite issues. But like you say, did result in some general tension.
Lovely to see the overall frame Ros had her horse in.

I'm not sure if that's has been discussed but baffled by this!

So sad not to see Tom with Cooliser. Always liked that mare!

Bubby didn’t write that, think it’s from H&H or possibly Eventing Nation

 

[teapot]

Has Harry M withdrawn a second? Cavalier Crystal isn't on the xc start list

 

[toppedoff]

Ah sorry I sent the wrong one

This one about her equipment I'm surprised she couldn't have it considering it is medical surely?

 

[teapot]

This one about her equipment

FEI rules are FEI rules at the end of the day. One assumes she applied for a FEI special dispensation and they told her to jog on.

 

[Supertrooper]

Can’t really see how a padded seat cover would give a rider an advantage over another?

 

[nikkimariet]

Gutted for DD to have to withdraw Galileo

 

[Mimsyborogrove]

Gutted for DD to have to withdraw Galileo

Did he say why?

 

[Ample Prosecco]

So pleased Pippa had such a nice test after her day 1 disappointment.

 

[Upthecreek]

Is the number of withdrawals unusually high this year? Seems like a lot.

 

[Ample Prosecco]

I guess a lot haven’t been able to get the prep runs in. That’s what scuppered BC I think.

 

[LEC]

and how did Tregilder go from being entered for badminton to an ALW Be100!? Weird not to see Oli there with a horse!

Oliver does this a lot. It’s a holding place for another horse usually.

I think hot weather means a few have gone a bit flat

Oliver said on insta that he didn’t feel 100% on final gallops. Oliver will know that horse so well and he is a bit of an arse so I suspect his recovery wasn’t as good on the final gallop.
