Wow, I think I'll have time to check out...

 

[Ilya]

I am finally back at home after spending two weeks in business trips.
Hope to finally catch some live football action.

Tomorrow is birthday #51 for me. I will be watching but will not be online as a number of guest will be over and unfortunately will have to attempt to entertain them. It's the wife's idea and she invited them. I could careless, rather watch futbol.

 

[Ilya]

Happy Birthday, Tim!
In advance.

Thank you, last year was rather traumatic with the BIG 50, so I had a party of 50 people.

Right now I'm watching Real Madrid Television English feed and it's the RM-Deportivo game from 2003-04 season. It is the same broadcast that was on WorldSport, as the comentators are Paul & Sid and the camera angles are across the pitch from the technical area (benches) as the WorldSport cameras usually are. When the RM games are sent on GolTV, it's the Spanish feed and the cameras are from the bench side.

This game was used to glean some video clips for WorldSport promos. There is one clip where a goalkeeper is rotating his torso back and forth to stretch out. That's the Deportivo keeper Molina, before this game started. Another clip is a referee wearing a red shirt blowing a whistle to start the game. That came from this game and it's this referee in the Bernabeu. There is a goal that Ronaldo scores on a serve from the left side from Zidane. That's also from this game.

I just find it interesting that RM TV is using the WorldSport feeds. My only complaint is that it is SD not HD.

I remember Paul mentioned that he and Sid did some narration for RM-TV. What do you need to get RM-TV? Is it FTA?

 

[timfouts]

RM-TV is M-peg2 FTA. I use my 10' C/Ku dish, 4DTV receiver with a Pansat 330A slaved to it. There are several RM-TV sat feeds at various longitudes. I've watched it for a couple of years.

I just saw this morning that Barca and bottom-of-the-table Malaga drew 0-0 yesterday, so a win by RM or Valencia at Sevilla today will tighten the points gap and both RM and Valencia can jump over Osasuna. It still looks like Barca has won the league. We shall see.

It's funny. The only reason we really care is because all of this can be seen in Hi-Def!

Barca decided to rest some players yesterday due to the CL game on Tues at 1:30ET (clocks went 1hr ahead in europe today) I hope at least Benfica can win 1-0 or tie since they are the team I support.

 

[Ilya]

Welcome back everyone! The live game is on!
It's futbol time!

Hello, everyone... Just got home and saw that RM already scored... It has been a busy month of march for me and have not been able to be here like it used to be. Watching now.

 

[Ilya]

Welcome back, Sean!
Have you upgraded to MPEG4 yet? Or are you waiting till April 1 as most of us?

 

[Ilya]

By the way, I haven't got the official confirmation yet, but looking at the League schedule, the Big One (Real Madrid - Barcelona) will be played on April 1, not on April 2. Which means we should be able to watch it on RushHD! I really hope this is the case.

 

[Sean Mota]

Not yet... waiting for April 1.

 

[Ilya]

Goooooooaaaaaaaal! 2:0!
