    Expensive poor job

    Yes, very poor quality, not even close as advertise "TV full frame rate" and the so call commentator, I think Kwun and I can do better than that, there goes my US$52. 2 more days to suffer

    Cover only 1 court

    The paid version only broadcast 1 court, not switching allow unlike the Free version. I think the paid version is the "clip" like Free version except has score and so call commentator.

    The price of "Live"

    I still think it's worth the money just to experience "Live" :D

    That's not all. They should have explained clearly that the paid stream was to the exclusion of the free streaming. They even had the list of upcoming matches for the day listed directly beneath the "Free Streaming" explanation and links. It says only that the free stream would be available "From Tuesday" and says nothing of "until Thursday".

    It would be great if it worked. Some of us need this kind of thing. Am I the only person living in a country with no All England broadcast? I can't imagine you get that kind of thing in Canada or the U.S. Canada didn't even broadcast Olympic badminton.

    You're right about the real money. Imagine dropping that much cash on a stuttery video feed!

    IF you look at this page, (which, by the way, seems to be the only way to get to the updated draws),

    http://www.swissopen.com/english/aktuell/wettkampf.php?showpublic=true

    It says "live video" and then has this link:

    http://213.189.142.100:8081/ramgen/encoder/stream.rm

    I didn't try it when the matches were still on and now Real Player gives an error. Did anyone else try this link? ie Big Slick? Is this what you tried?

    When the matches were actually on, I was only trying the links like

    http://wms1.eurotip.tv/ch2
    http://wms1.eurotip.tv/ch3

    from the "Live Streaming" page.

    By the way, the email address for the webmaster is info@swissopen.com

    For starters, It's early morning in Switzerland right now so there won't be any games to stream live until 4PM this afternoon. If I'm not mistaken, that's GMT+1h. Furthermore, we've all found that as of Friday there were no free feeds. It doesn't say that on the website but the fact that pay-per-stream is available from Fri-Sun seems to mean that free streaming has been taken off line.

    Paid "Live streaming" went down too, no video.
    Only badminton can get away with this lousy service but expensive video!
