Yeah, I just cancelled my subscription. I didn't pay for the Pairs, but I saw even with that, there's two heats missing from Monday night. I want to support them, but there's a minimum baseline they're just not meeting.

It's the worst of any speedway stream I've seen..need to get it together quickly. Not good enough

15 heats, with one/two commentators who can identify the correct riders is all we need. There's nice stuff on top of it, but the 60 laps is pretty fundamental!

How do they stream? Is there the bandwidth to stream BSN and Edinburgh?

Quite agree; we shouldn't stream anything. Why would people want to watch it?

Shouldn't be televised either.

Come to think of it, shouldn't have spectators; do it behind closed doors.

There, solves everything...

BSN have just tweeted the following:

Huge apologies to everyone watching our stream tonight. We are having issues with our internet speed dropping constantly. We accept this is far from acceptable and we will compensate everyone subscribing.

I can't tell whether this is sarcasm or not?! Speedway should be doing much much more streaming, you'd have to be on another planet to think otherwise.

I don’t know. If they are sensible, they will use a 4G load balancer that can connect to multiple operators. Would be dangerous to rely on host stadium WiFi for a product you charge for. You always want these things in your own control.

Why wouldn't they just share the EMTV feed? Seems mad.

That would require coordination, not something Brits are known for. My response was more about the general setup across the different racetracks to be honest. There would be practical considerations to sharing a feed, but not insurmountable if planned and both sides thought it was in their interests.

Very strange isnt it?

Both going for exactly the same market... (?)...

As Edinburgh stream anyway it doesnt seem to make much sense to show exactly the same meeting...

Neither wins surely?

Don't worry about the bandwidth, with the 3 withdrawn riders, only 2 riders in Heat 8 and 4 of the remaining races only featuring 3 riders, I'm sure it will cope. :-o 

Ironic that it's at Edinburgh, isn't it? Home of the great Train Robber who, in his role as BSPA Chairman, instructed the Birmingham Brummies web site to be closed down, apparently because it was too bandwidth hungry, and made the BSPA servers struggle, back in 2013. :rofl:

Reading the updates, Blair sounds like he shouldn't be near a bike with no brakes.. Has wiped out most of the other riders so far! 

Didn't touch neilsen, he lost a chain or engine seized
