I watched yesterday's practice from the Crosby pub, drank about 6 pints and got sunburnt. What a day. The noise of them superbikes at full chat especially the R1 is something else.
They had TT live on inside the pub so was watching a bit of that when back and to for a piss, bit jumpy but looked ok. For 2 quid a day I won't be complaining when I'm watching it next week.

Audios still a bit iffy right now.. Seemed better yesterday. I get that this is new & there'll be teething issues but surely this must have been tested long before going live? They've had 3 years to plan, test and get it right..
Hopefully race week will be better.
I reckon this guy is in charge of the sound

Just build up / interviews.
Some bikes went out for what I imagine is a practice session.
There's nothing happening until 6PM tonight, are you sure you're not watching yesterday's coverage? The Billown pre-TT classic races are on now (listening on Manx Radio).Some bikes went out for what I imagine is a practice session.
I'd be gutted if I'm missing something...
I’m sure it will be fine tuned by race week. It’s a tough call to fill the time currently during practice week and hence the jumping about from one shot to another. Picture still very jumpy to very pixelated from the helicopter shots. For 14 quid still a bargain at the moment. And once they get it sorted the price will jump up next year.
Well I've just finished watching today's practise session on TT live and I have to say I was a lot more impressed tonight. It was much easier to follow the information and live shots were pretty good so all in all not a bad viewing experience in my opinion.
Hopefully it will just keep improving as the fortnight goes on and they get to grips with the technology as well as the the production arrangements

First day issues have been resolved from the difference I’ve seen. The stream this evening was fantastic. No issues for me at all.
Yesterdays was a technical torture test, but this evening was like watching the normal highlights program quality. Audio good, presenters finding their feet, odd frame freeze from helicopter feed to be expected but otherwise great.
More than worth the 15 quid in my view and as I can’t get there, I’m happy to contribute as well.

Going tomorrow with the Wife and really looking forward to it after 3 years. Whilst I’ve got various locations around the course planned to watch practice, I’m not sure about Saturday Race Day.
We need to be accessible (within say a 3 mile walk of Douglas) as I don’t want to be stuck out on the course on race day. I don’t want to go for the obvious St. Ninnians or Bray Hill and was thinking of Ballergery.
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
