Good call Lec, I meant to do that!!

 

[LEC]

My settings are screwed up from last year so just sorting it out now by removing Firefox and adding it again! I literally use Firefox once a year!!

 

[kerribabes]

Great I was just wondering where to view it at

is it also on Sky or Red Button or anything?

I know it will probably be on Horse & Country Channel later on in the month/year

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

confused trying to change settings for chrome doesn't seem to want to work

 

[LEC]

You need Firefox, not that my firefox wants to work!

 

[ClobellsandBaubles]

ahh my firefox is pretty screwed

 

[lauzbeefy]

This might be a dumb question but roughly what time is it on in UK time? I'm at work and don't want to miss it...

 

[oldvic]

They are 5 hours behind. The dressage started at 2.30 our time and finishes 9pm and the same tomorrow. The XC starts at 3pm our time and finishes about 8.30pm.

argh Lec please help.. i'm on a different laptop to last year (when i got it to work), but am failing at step 2, it says the page has expired or it's an old link or something. argh argh argh.

[Bearskin]

I hope it rains torrentially on Sat so I can spend the afternoon watching!

Does anyone know if you can watch FEI TV on your tv or does it have to be through a laptop? Or is there some fancy way (which will probably be totally be beyond my level of technical competence!) that you can plug your laptop into your tv so it shows on the tv screen?

you can watch stuff off your laptop on your tv if you have the right cable, i think it's an HDMI cable but could be wrong.
there's good tutorials on it on youtube.
from a Mac, you have to start with the laptop turned OFF (otherwise it absolutely won't work), plug in cables, turn it on, and then basically iirc the tv screen is a second screen to the right of the laptop screen, so you just drag things across to it, it's very weird but works amazingly (and resizes accordingly).

 

[Taffyhorse]

Thanks Kerilli - unfortunately my OH has just informed me that we don't have the right cable so I will be reduced to squinting at the laptop :-(

Which isn't too bad apart from the fact our dog is a tv/x country addict and will be trying to climb on my lap to watch it too - he's a large border collie who's convinved he's a Jack Russell when it comes to climing on your knee!

 

[shortstuff99]

Can you watch it on an I-pad? Mine seems to half load and then just says error?

 

[oldvic]

No - you need flash player which you can't get on an I-pad. Very annoying!

 

[shortstuff99]

Pooh

 

[capall na hÉireann]

Do you have to subscribe to FEI tv?

 

[Honey08]

Looks like it. I just registered for free, but its still asking me to subscribe to be able to watch...

Anyone else know?

 

[claracanter]

Same here. Looks like you have to buy a day pass to watch at 15.00hrs today, is that right?

 

[mrussell]

Ive just done the whole Firefox and Flash player but how on earth do you access the live coverage ? Theres loads of vids to watch but when you click on LIVE USEF tab, its just brings up the videos... no live screening.

Is that because it hasnt started yet ??

 

[icestationzebra]

I don't think it will be streaming until 3pm

 

[GreyCoast]

Is anybody else just getting the loading circle on FEI Tv? Is it just my rubbish internet?

 

[j1ffy]

GreyCoast - I now have a screen showing 'Rolex Kentucky Three Day Event' and random noise in the background. Should have started 25 minutes ago but clearly it's not working! Very frustrating as I just wanted to watch an hour or so before bed

 

[GreyCoast]

Same. It's nearly tomorrow here, so hopefully they get it going soon!

 

[teapot]

First horse isn't on the xc course until 3.04pm so you're not missing anything

 

[teapot]

Scrap that, 10.08/3.08pm as Buck Davidson has withdrawn both his horses

 

[GreyCoast]

Ah, thanks for that. I didn't bother checking the times as I assumed FEI would just start at the start of the event.
