Problems with Channel 4

[peanut]

Is anyone else unable to get the dressage on their computer because of a fault on the website?

 

[madmav]

I can't even work out what link to go to. Really want to watch, too. Confusing website. Can anyone point me in right direction? Please!

 

[madmav]

Ah, have finally found link. It's not working for me either. Rubbish.

 

[shadeofshyness]

Anyone got a working link? The website is baffling me...

 

[Faithkat]

according to their tv schedule, the dressage coverage starts on tv in the programme at 12.05pm

Seems to me C4 is ignoring the significant contribution made to paralympic sport by equestrianism and I can't figure out why. It isn't featured in the promos and the odd rare mention it gets is all too often without substance. Trying to find ANY coverage is like looking for a needle in a haystack! I have found one hour at noon today. W0W!!! Has anybody out there found anymore? Would like to try and get it on computer. Anybody got the URL?

 

[madmav]

I have emailed Channel 4 for advice. No response so far.

~Swimming at the moment

Can't find a schedule anywhere. TV guide just says "Paralympics coverage" yeah really helpful

I thought from reading this that it didn't start until later this afternoon?x

 

[Xander]

Have a look at http://www.paralympic.org/Events/London2012. It shows the grade II team test has already happened (Go Natasha!) Grade 1b coming up.
No scheduled live streaming of dressage today, but may be worth a look around in case that changes.

Some horsies coming up on Channel 4 now. Allegedly.

 

[Emilieu]

Boo - just seen updates on Facebook as well! Will just need to try and catch up later

It's a pity that they didn't take note from the BBC coverage of the olympics that the equestrian grandstands were never less than 96% full unlike some other events. There was nothing you couldn't watch on the BBC Sport website and there was also Catch Up.

Poor show Channel 4

Don't hold your breath. Just given the scheduling and dressage wasn't mentioned. They just said it would be shown alongside the other coverage but no idea of timing was given. Has C4 been given over to a group of 6th formers doing their A level project on broadcasting?

Channel 4 are very good at doing pretty graphics and trendy trailers, but no substance behind all these good looks.
Emailed and tweeted for help hours ago. Not heard anything
Agree, BBC did a far better job. Once I'd worked out their website, it was brilliant, could watch whatever any time. And it worked 99% of time. And no annoying adverts!

 

[shadeofshyness]

Natasha has done a brilliant job and could get a medal for GB and not even 10 seconds dedicated to her and zero mention. Pff.

“Dressage will be a major feature of our morning and afternoon live programming. We will have an outside broadcast team at Greenwich Park throughout the Games to capture all the must-see moments.”

Ahem. So the Ch4 spokesperson is a fibber

Where was that statement from? I would love to challenge them on that. What is the point of having cameras there (if they do) and not stick it on live streaming via website? BBC managed it without any problem.
Think we should all email/tweet them, or perhaps just give up....

 

[Xander]

On Channel 4 after the current ad break. Blink and you'll miss it

[kirstys 1]

Dressage on channel 4 now!

 

[peanut]

I haven't been able to watch any coverage of any sport on my computer and just get a notice saying: " This video is not working or not available in your territory".

Excuse me, I'm in central London about 3 miles from Greenwich !!

 

[candyflosspot]

has anyone got a direct link please? All its showing me is cycling/basketball

ETA - scrap that - just clicked on the Ch 4& its brought up the dressage

http://paralympics.channel4.com/video/index.html

 

[candyflosspot]

and then adverts

 

[Rowreach]

So far the adverts have lasted longer than the actual coverage

 

[madmav]

I am seeing an actual dressage horse on Channel 4! Allaleluiah!

 

[Daffodil]

Another two competitors do their tests while the b.....y adverts are on.

Like the Guide Dog for the Blind advert though

 

[candyflosspot]

might be a stupid question but is it marked the same as a normal dressage test?

ETA - What are they looking for?

 

[Rowreach]

I got all emotional over the Guide Dog ad actually

 

[Rowreach]

Well that was ....................... short.
