Perhaps I am just a moron with a crappy PC, but the webcast is not working too well for me. The free ones that bb.com put on were far better.
Right now I have a nice blurry pic of the stage.

this will get deleted in 3...2...1.... like mine did
HAHAHAHAHA

I believe you but I hope not.
I am honestly just trying to warn people :-[

Keep it up; if enough people shit on it, maybe next year, the fans can watch it that night...
on a TV screen

Has got to be something funny with the computer setting.
Because I doubt that bb.com had better tech on their FREE webcasting.
Is there any replay clips available yet? Try one of those and see if it's still shitty.

it works ok for me

I just turned on the webcast and they're showing some UFC crap. Its not the UFC stuff im complainin about, but the terrible resolution!
There are two options, 100k and 500k bandwidth.
I didnt even bother with the 100k, but even the 500k is shit. i fullscreened it, and its blurry as a f**cker. Tomorrow i will be hooking my computer up to a television so my friends and i can watch, and quite frankly..its gonna look like shit.
You'd think that in a show which you need to see DETAIL, they'd have a better resolution, no? How are you supposed to see striations when its blurry as a bitch?? Sure, if i dont fullscreen it, its not blurry, but then i'll be looking at a 3x4 inch screen.
Im not impressed.
-
thanks for the heads up
-
I hope this FAILS MISERABLY so that they could put it back on PPV Television. No disrespect to hardbody, but would you ever see HBO boxing specials exclusive to webcast? The thought alone makes me wanna laugh out loud and smack you with a sack of dead rabbits because the idea is so stupid...hint hint. The DVD combo from hardoby looks good. but its just a shame that most probably the best Olympia in 5 years is only through webcast....not cool >:(> :( >:( >:(
-
Oh, and it keeps freezing n stuttering. n that aint no problem with my internet, cuz i got a damn fine connection
-
What i dont understand is HOW THE FUCKE WE"LL BE ABLE TO SEE STRIATIONS WITH BLURRY RESOLUTION!!??!?!
-
it works ok for me
Works ok, or it is good Stavios?
Can someone post a screen cap from full screen view please?

it is "ok"
not good, not bad
it doesn't piss me off to pay 25 $ for this since it is the O
I would be pissed if I paid for lets say.. the NY Pro and it look like this

Thanks to you and Stavios for the feedback

I actually upgraded my cable TV this past year, and i must admit, it was mostly due to teh fact that I was unable to order the O on PPV last year when I tried. I was bummed about not being able to get it this year. I actually planned on ordering tomorrow night's show on webcast for 12 bucks. Now I'm nervous...
-
well the good thing is..now that its streamed on the web...im guessing someone will have it on the net within 24 hours via torrents or on some random website
-
There's nothing wrong with webcasting if it's done right (with enough resolution and bandwidth). Far more people have access to the internet than to PPV. However, if thet go cheap on the production, then it's an issue.
-
240, I was hoping you ordered it, and would be putting up screenshots. I have now lost all hope :P
-
Mine looks ok, not HD, but it's viewable at full screen.
Damn you >:(

Yeah, if this one doesn't go too well, and everyone starts placing blame, I don't see how the webcaster can blame anyone but themselves. Physical limitations can be removed with money; a poor webcast both nights couldn't be blamed on some event. Would just be inadequate bandwidth. I know I'm always the first one to smell a potential conspiracy- but if fingers start pointing, I hope they bring a really good set of reasons too.

Maybe you're just accustomed to looking at shit........you've got Alexxx brodie as your avatar......

I know nothing about webcasting. But surely if they are charging $22 they should not be using cheap labour?

It's not the labor, they don't have enough bandwidth.

Fuck paying for that crap.
If joe weider gave a shit about bbing, he'd donate some of his millions to a quality webcast, for the fans........but, yeah, that's not happening...
-

They're in LV and they're in a fairly state of the art hall, right? They could very easily rent a few t1 lines for the weekend from the local telco or ISP.
Since there is an additional package for sale for Sat night only, I wonder if they're "holding back" for tomorrow. Doubt it.
Sad thing is that there isn't much accountability for this - no refunds, and since the O is gonna be sitting at a garage sale table on Oct 1, seems unlikely another other than short term gain would be this year's goal.

You may not be able to do a refund, but you can always do a chargeback on a cc transaction. If they start getting enough of them, I guarantee you they will agree to refund instead. What do you mean about the garage sale comment? Are you hearing the rumor that's been posted on MD forums?

No - I think it's pretty well known that AMI will be selling off the Olympia promotion next year. Lots of rumors about who will get it, where it will be, etc. AMI is scaling back.
Anyone have link to the threads on it from a few weeks back?

I really hope this is true. I hope that this is MD's big announcement, and that Blechman is taking over. Say what you will about that little fucker, but he definitely has a passion for this sport and that is exactly what it needs again.

If he gave a shit as you claim, he'd have his own show by now............
Fuck, even Ironman has one.......

Ironman mag has never had the tension with Flex/ M&F/ IFBB that MD has. That could be the hold up.......that and Blechman's "Natural all the way baby" shit.
I don't really know that I like him, but no matter what, he's always been pro bb in some form or another. Phillips is the best example of someone that was just in it for the money. I do think he has compromised his integrity by flip floppin over the years. Weider was a shit too, but you can't deny that he loved the sport and that it wouldn't be anything without him.

Guess what, the "sport" ::) isn't much with Weider anyways. As long as he makes makes money, that's all that ever mattered.........

I am watching the feed from hardbodyentertainment.tv, and it looks pretty good to me. Even when I blow it up to fullscreen on my laptop, it looks decent. Blurry at times, but acceptable overall.
Nothing like Tanji and Julie Childs on fullscreen! ;D

What motivation do they have to spend the extra $ for a high-bandwidth show?
Short horizon issue. One year thing. Everyone signs up, you spend the minimum, and then you "do what you can and blame the mistakes on everyone else."
I don't know if this is the case, of course. This would be the worst-case, something a firm with no ethics or love for the fans, would do.
I have every confidence that Flex Wheeler and hardbody wouldn't do this. Don't you?
-
I'm watching the 100k now and it's ok but really shitty quality
Flex Wheeler you are a son of a bitch !
NOTE TO GUSTAVO: SHUT THE FUCK UP WHEN YOU POSE !
-
That woman is the worst interviewer I have ever seen. Are you guys watching it on 500k or 100k? It keeps freezing on 500 for me
-
WOLF LOOKED KILLER, serious lat spread eh guys!!
BUT I HAD TO WATCH IT IN HTE LOWER RESOLUTION!!
fuck nothin pisses me off more than this shit
I told my buddies i'd gotten the olympia n they could all watch it
and now i think they're gonna laugh at me when we either watch it on good resolution, but it looks like a fucking slideshow,
or watch it on bad resolution, which makes themall look like FATASSES
-
goddamnit, I want my money back. Can anyone see this on 500k?

I'm sure when there are twice as many people logged in tomorrow, things will be a lot clearer! After all, the more people logged in, the more .... wait... scratch that.

The moment I heard it was a one-year webcast contract, I called them on it. Asked for guarantees of quality, asked for details of the show, and refund policies.
No answers were ever given.
Of course, I cannot comment on the quality of the webcast or the operations of the firm. All I can do, is maybe suggest that anyone who is unhappy should contact hardBody or its staff. i'm sure if they know you have trouble, they'll be happy to make things right. Wouldn't they?

I emailed them to bitch and here is their response:
"Network engineers are trying to resolve the problem at this moment but we are at their mercy (Embarq)"
Before anyone makes any crazy assumptions, I'm sure that CQ's response from them is NOT an attempt to 'pass the buck'. After all, Embarq offers a nice wealth of temporary bandwidth solutions. Being at their mercy would entail limited resources - and Embarq offers highly scalable solutions.
I wonder what Embarq failed by not renting them enough bandwidth. Very cool of Hardbody to point out Embarq's mistakes.

All of you suckers that purchased the webcast should stop bitching. How do you expect Hardbody Web Properties to pay their president, Kenneth "Flex" Wheeler, a decent salary if they spend all their money on bandwidth? >:(

Al-Qaida has a better website and video. I'm watching it right now. No freezing, buffering or delay.
And the commentary is better.

I've watched webcasts of reggae shows originating from 3rd world countries that are far better than the crap that spewed forth last night.

Hmm..
Well logic would dictate you would do a dry run free test first to make sure you've got your shit covered.
The second best thing would be to estimate high for bandwidth (which is almost certainly the problem - buffering).
The worst is to do what they've done. Take your money and hope it works :)
Come on.. you all saw this coming.

Whoever came up with this idea should be thrown off a bridge with a chain tied to his testicles....
If you got exclusive rights to HBO boxing or something, and decided to put it on Webcsast instead of T.V., HBO would not only kill you for proposing such a stupid idea, but hunt down everyone you're related to and know personally; and throw acid in their eyes and punch them in the throat repeatedly as they gasped for air.
In other words....this webcast olympia is the gayest thing since Clay Aiken
