    Wow! Congratulations once more!

    Good to know that fellow BCer's got rewarded. I guess BC is really the place for badminton enthusiasts.

    I also got hosed a little by WoB. I did get a partial refund but it was way less than what a proper percentage should be. Also, they did not offer VoD for the tournaments after I took a one-year subscription. Due to time inconvenience, I did not get to use their service for those tournaments at all. But I did watch a few older tournaments available as VoD.

    Given the circumstance, I'd give them a pass. Not sure what the problem was for them to stop their service. I emailed BWF to complaint about the lack of video streaming but got no reply.

    At least, now we have TotalSports. Let's see how well this is going to be.

    I did email them about VoD but have received no reply so far.

    Hi all, thank you for all the info. I am new to this thread and to totalsports. Questons here - if i paid for it (AE 2011), I'll be able to watch all the broadcasted matches live (a minimum of five (5) matches available for each day of the live stream), right? If I missed any of them, I can go back and watch it under my account, correct? Sorry, not so sure how it works... Do they keep all the AE 2011 available and I have access after i paid for them? Thanks in advance.

    Got a reply from TotalSports.tv on VoD: delayed live streaming will be available on youtube.

    Not sure whether that will be highlights or full matches.

    Okay, interesting. They can't possibly charge for that so ... :confused:. At the same time I was wondering what happened to Planet Badminton who showed it on YouTube previous years. Perhaps and hopefully that's what they mean :cool:.

    Very few interesting matches today on a sidenote, match 5 & 6 might become interesting ...

    Think I'll take a pass (skip): they're not even showing match 6 only the first 5 and who wants to see a fr***n WD match?? :p

    Or they could mean this as VOD?

    from: http://www.youtube.com/user/totalsportstv#p/u

    sample:

    Watched TotalSports.tv for the first time. I'd say that WoB.tv had better picture quality.

    The native picture size is rather small. When viewing full screen, it looks almost like a big mosaic. It is still watchable. But I am disappointed by the picture quality.

    AT least they replied to you, I'm still waiting for them to reply. I'm running 100mb through cable. They better not tell me that's too slow.

    i complaint during round 16... i think there are not many ppls are complaining during that time, so they just entertain me by using their standard template! sad... anyway, i'm watching it live @ http://www.tiyuba.net/tv/gdty_mms.html

    it's a free streaming!!!

    mine doesn't work at all!!! I'm located in Melbourne, Australia. Paid for it but never got the service delivered. Very disappointed with totalsports. I've never got the live streaming to work since round 16. Not sure if anyone in australia is experiencing similar problems.

    Sorry to hear that. I know TotalSports is not available in UK, but you are in Melbourne, Australia...
    WWW.SecurityKiss.com offers a free OpenVPN service with limited bandwidth, you can download its client program and
    change the desired VPN server location under "option" to a US server. See if that would work for you, good luck.
