UPDATE: Most are reporting no problems. Seems to be a local problem for me or the free wireless internet I’m using.

I love Universal Sports online coverage.
It’s improved fantastically since the beginning.
But the service is still slow at times. And problematic, at times.
This link’s been “buffering” for the last 20min. The commercial plays, but not the promised content.

(YouTube is ugly. But at least it works.)

I watched the women’s finals yesterday. A few hiccups, but that was due to my computer/network.
I did leave and come back at one point, which it told me coverage was not available in my area. Confused, I hit reload, and it magically worked again.
It’s not a perfect science, apparently.
The buffering happened to me this morning. It was working and then stopped. Its annoying when it stops because you cant go back! I missed Rebecca Bross’s routine. But I guess I shouldnt complain because its better then nothing. Although I wouldnt mind if I didnt have to wake up so early to see the event finals.
I was thrilled with the coverage this week. No buffering for me at all. SO nice to see gym live, though I really wish we’d seen more of the routines.
a little buffering about 2 min.
odd questions– why is gymnova the official supplier and not contenintal? is the wembly stadium still there or did they tear it down for the 02 arena?
I live in Italy and apparently “the service is not available in my area”. I thought it was supposed to be a worldwide broadcast. Gotta fall back on CCTV5 (and get a headache after 2 hours of Chinese commentary)!
I has the same issue on my first try. I reloaded the page and had 2 1/2 hours of AA gymnastics – woo hoo! I noticed if you try and pause for too long, you get the same buffering problem (and need to reload the page) but I was thrilled with this coverage. Lots of different gymnasts to see and way ahead of American AA coverage.
I am watching the Mens Vault Final right now. great coverage online and have had no problems at all.
I’ve only had it pause on me once ever and that was today. Even for the olympics and other events it has never paused for me. Maybe it’s because you are in Canada? That’s just my best guess…
The service is not only in Italy but also in Germany not available
. “Worldwide” seems not to include Europe.
