TdF on Versus Online?
I just realized that while I don't get Versus on my tv, I can possibly
watch the TdF via the computer attached to my tv. Versus wants $30 for this service and I am willing to consider it. But I have some questions and hope someone out there has done this before me... (a) Are the full stage videos the same programming as what they Broadcast? Do you get commentary, Phil and Paul? Are there commercials? If so, can they be skipped-over with ease? (b) They seem to want me to setup a Map-My-Ride account or something. In doing so, they seem to want some form of access to my gmail account. I am hesitant to do so. Can you tell me what is going on here or what I need to do as a minimum to get signed-up? Thanks |

Thanks while not current, you need a tuner for the computer then a paid for connection with your local cable guy. The paid for would include a Versus connection prob shared with other similar BS like PROFESSIONAL CHILD KILLING FROM OMHAHAHA. Do you then watch the Tour ? OFF COURSE NOT...did you just get here or what ? You need to call Eccelstone if you want to watch the Tour. |

Less than $30. -- Michael Press |

Thanks- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I looked for access before buying cable access. I found a lotta snake oil claims. One Euro site was roundly squeewered for false claims. With auto racing, I bought the cartoon NASCAR offering, as an experienced railbird, NASCAR's snake oil site followed thru, very entertaining. With the Tour of Georgia, we had segments of coverage on TV. Once lived in that area, I folllowed visually then when video went off, followed the emailed print reports over tracking in Topozone. The odd Euro TdF sites were claiming trhat kinda combo but didn't deliver. |

Thanks its the same as the early morning live broadcast as on versus previously; intro and exit announced by someone I can't remember right now, Paul and Phil in the main part (none of the evening rebroadcast with bob roll etc). No commercials (except for all of the advertising at the perimeter of the screen). All you need is an email account and a credit card and to reside in the US. They will automatically create a mapmyride account as part of the process, ignore it. the painful part is the computer interface. you have to be able to run the silverlight plug-in on what ever browser is needed depending on your hardware. IE for windows, safari for macs, etc. it worked great on xp sp3 with ie 8 up until yesterday for me. now it will only work on my mac laptop in safari. have tried all the suggested fixes to no avail... vastly frustrating. the service/help desk is close to useless. while some can make it work, it will not run on firefox 5 on either of my machines. at least they solved the sound issues that plagued last year's vs computer broadcast. find a friend with cable and bring beer. |
