Vuelta on TV

Sorry, could you let me know how to get the WMrecorder and WMvcr?

Also, what time NY time does the following reference in the schedule refer to?

19:25:00VUELTA CICLISTA A ESPAÑA

GRANADA-CORDOBA (SEGUNDA ETAPA)

just do a google. I downloaded the software yesterday and it cost $49 for the package which include both WMrecorder and WMvcr. You need the first to record and the second to schedule the recording. pretty cool....assuming you speak spanish!

just subtract 6 hours for NY time.

I got up early today in hope of watching it at 6:50 west coast time only to be denied. I was alos looking at the wrong schedule. You are right about the correct start time above. The right schedule is the one for America. I hope I can watch in a few hours today!!!

I set this up on Sat night at 11pm---it seemed do able but.. your milage may vary.
I think I set the sat recording for 1.40pm EDT & it recorded the TVE-i show. Unfortunitly I haven't had time to watch it....

TVE-i is a tape delayed 1+ hr show. It's not live. So watching it inconjunction with Eurosport's a non starter. I've heard rumors of another web based feed. I'll report back when I ge tmore info.

The last ProTour race affecting the ProTour teams classification is the Vuelta. After today's GP Ouest-France, Plouay, here are the teams with still a shot at the ProTour team win:

1 CSC TEAM CSC DENMARK 303
2 RAB RABOBANK NETHERLANDS 288
3 DVL DAVITAMON-LOTTO BELGIUM 287
4 PHO PHONAK HEARING SYSTEMS SWITZERLAND 286

Phonak, due to its poor performance at GP Plouay, has slipped from first to fourth.

Yes, true, streaming both simultaneously is not possible. They both stream with WMP. If one streamed in WMP and the other Real, it would work ;-) Bummer you can't choose which player you want with either site. Oh well, helps me sharpen up my spanglish.

Here's another solution;

Danish TV2 will stream all stages of Vuelta a España 2005 live in a very high quality at the website sputnik.dksputnik.dkOpen ↗
The price to watch all stages will be 100 DKK (16 US$ / 13 €).
There will be no commercial breaks at all during the live transmission, becuase commercial breaks during TV programs is illegal according to Danish law [img]dailypelotonforums.comsmile.gifOpen ↗[/img]
The streaming will be with Danish commentry, but you can mute the sound and get English commentry from Eurosport's live audio streaming at the same time.

System reuirements to watch the Vuelta live from sputnik.dksputnik.dkOpen ↗:
# Windows 98 SE or newer.
# MS Windows Media Player 9.0 or newer.
# MS Internet Explorer 6.0 or newer (Does not work in Firefox, Netscape, Opera and other non MS browsers).
# Internet connection with minimum 512 kbps downstream. (Sputnik TV is transmitted in 1 Mbps, 800 kbps or 380 kbps, depending on your internet downstream speed).

I have been reading the Daily Peloton forums regarding Danish TV. Can somebody assist by posting a guide as to how to sign up, for those who can't understand the Danish language?

I signed up for it but frankly it hasn't worked out for me-rarely am I close enough to my computer to watch it live. In addition there seems to difficulty with the pauseing (stream). However, from the test videos I was able to see, the resolution is better then TVE-i via JumpTV. I wasn't able to record it using WMrecorder/vcr. I did not do a lot of testing on it tho.

Thank-you. I know that took a lot of time to put together, and I appreciate that a lot. I will try to implement that when I get back from the weekend (it's a long weekend in the US). :p

Oh I didn't put this together---I just copy/pasted. Stephomarx & Peter_Pedal @ the DP forum did all the work.
Yeah, long weekend, I'm working it so my co-worker can do the vermont stage race......

Adapa....you da man for hooking us with the info. I've been watching TVE daily and although the picture quality could be better, my stream is always perfect and I am enjoying listening to it in spanish. I use WMvcr to schedule recordings daily.

So, for those who can stream sputnik, how is the quality and consistancy? I may want to try it assuming the picture quality is much better. Thanks and enjoy the weekend. It's the San Fran race for us!!!

I tried to watch the Veulta Max win yesterday on TVE, but there was no program as far as I could tell. Is it only on weekends that there is coverage perhaps? 😕

there sure was, from 10:30-11:30 pacific time.

So, does anyone know how to optimize my stream from TVE and get slightly better picture quality? Thanks

The TVE-i stream is tape delayed, I think it on at 1;30pm EDT +/-. Here's the schedual link. rtve.estv4 fr.htmOpen ↗ click on the date for which you'd like info.
The Danish link is live & can be run concurent with the live English audio on Eurosport.
As far as I know the Danish feed can't be recorded via wmvcr/wmrecorder, the TVE feed can. Which needless to say is useful if you've got a boss that expects you to be a work during the day.🙄

axe...I don't have a clue sorry.

I just got a chance to watch the danish feed, while the picture is better then TVE-i via JumpTV, the connection is abismal. I've got my buffers set rather long (60 sec.) and I'm still getting *LOTS* of stop's & starts. 😠 I've got cable modum, I forget my down stream rate but it's not slow or really fast.

Unless your a diehard I wouln't waste the $16.
