Sounds like quite a testing course. Fast ground too. Hope all the fallers are okay.

It's back and stopped buffering now, I strongly suspect they had to reboot something ?.

My stream keeps saying it is off air too after working perfectly all day. Very frustrating!

Mine went off air and then came back on.
It better be sorted by the time Harry Meade starts or I will be murderous

Hmmm, I don't know that I'd bother tbh. There have been some really horrible falls, horse and human, and everyone seems to be finding the course quite hard work. Normally there are a few that you watch and really enjoy because it's just a complete masterclass but they've been few and far between so far today.
And oooooooooooooffff at the French guy who caught his kneecap right on the edge of the Vicarage V log ?. That must've bl00dy hurt!

Ok. Seems better. It’d better stay better or I’ll be getting a bloody refund.
If you’re going to charge people it had better work perfectly.

I’m honestly not sure if I’ll watch the cross country. I’ll watch the dressage and the trot ups to use the subscription but don’t think I want to be watching nasty falls

I had to get up to restart it on my MacBook and now I CAN’T GET COMFORTABLE AGAIN. ????

might be that they cut out the nasty falls when they upload it after the live stream

Making the course easier really isn’t the answer. Lowering the standard required lowers the standard coming forward.

I toyed with paying the subscription fee but have no interest in the dressage (I'd have enjoyed watching past editions) but in the end couldn't justify £20.
If they'd done a say £5 day pass just for today I'd have happily paid
Sounds like I made the right decision based on people experiencing buffering. We have sky sports and occasionally the f1 very briefly freezes but it's rectified in seconds, i have no problem with that, I'd be annoyed at paying 20 quid for a streaming service, the red button coverage used to be fantastic

Been out all morning so only just started watching. Quality is terrible, is anyone's else's or is it my Internet? Very pixilated, looks like not filmed in HD at all . For £20 im fuming ? hope it's my Internet!

And it’s not like it’s the less experienced riders falling off! I’m not sure about Hazel Shannon but everyone else has represented their country at championships.

Other than that 5 minute period at the end of Bubby Upton’s round it’s been absolutely fine ??
ETA- it’s basically the same as the BBC coverage tbh! Mostly the same commentators and riders, and I think I read it’s the same company doing the behind the scenes tech stuff that used to supply the BBC feed?

Really hacked off with Badminton TV. I rewound to the start after missing the first hour and all of a sudden the feed cut half way through Emily King's round and after ages restarted with Tim Price. Can't rewind and watch the 20+ riders I've now missed, what a load of rubbish.

It’s been perfect all day bar about 3 minutes. And my internet is as rubbish as it gets, 3-4/minute max!

These are animals you realise? Making courses more complex and technical is one thing for the riders who get to walk it, analyse it, practise elements in isolation they think might come up at a particular event, but my issue with the evolution of eventing over the past 30 odd years is that it’s become grossly unfair on the poor bloody horses.
