Archery on TV

[Kuru]

Noticed fox sports 1 are showing Something called Archery world cup on Wednesday 26th July at 11pm.

Just thought some out there would like to know.

[2Dogs]

Well look who the Cat dragged in! :D

[Ja]

thanks for that kuru will look out for it.

My dad was in thailand and he said he was watching european grand prixs over there,

[PeterBennett]

cool, thanks Kuru

[andrewf87]

Sounds like good watching :D

[Glenn Ryan]

Wish I hadn't killed cable tv now...:(

[apexrob]

good stuff, goes from 11pm to 12pm.

[Cartz]

Any chance of anyone taping it?

[apexrob]

i'll see what I can do!!

[Cartz]

cheers mate

[frommy]

Bloody hell. This IS a major.

Just checked out the program and they have it slotted in two time slots, that is two half hour time slots.

This may mean that they might be screening footage from more than one of the previous events.

Brian

[PeterBennett]

if i remember i'll record it

[alexvpaq]

Record then Youtube :)

[Peter King]

Well spotted kuru.
The "i" promises "4 selected events and a grand final in Merida Mexico"

[Normie]

nice spotting mate.... I see it is also on Fox Sports 2, same day except 11am... so 2 opportunities for taping :D

[apexrob]

Does anyone know how to tape through foxtel? Having problems.

[Pinky]

I've just got normal digital, not IQ. Mine works by setting the video to record AV1 and just leaving Foxtel on the channel I want recorded.

[PeterBennett]

I just record to dvd sraight from Austar

Yep - mine too. Experiment well beforehand!:cheer: :cheer:

[Kuru]

I'm assuming the broadcast is by somebody else and they are just showing it, how cool would it be of they made it Active ! Might actually make people have a second look at it.
Maybe some follow up letters to the magazine saying how great it was and how we'll all worship foxtel may be a good move.

P.S Ed, you sure foxtel at your place is av1 ? I thought it was set on vid198 AV2 from memory ?

Yep - definitely AV1

[Ja]

hit the record button on the selected program if you have IQ. If you dont, shame on you :P

[PeterBennett]

DVD recorder set to go at 11.00 am as I will be at club today running work-for-the-dole.

[Peter King]

Yep - definitely AV1
It is normal enough to have Foxtel/Austar or any other source connected through AV1, although it could be any input (AV2 etc). Just make sure that what you are watching is what is recorded. If a SCART connection is used you can be viewing Foxtel straight to the TV, with the VCR/DVD looking (and recording from) anywhere else. Make sure the VCR/DVD controls what you see on the TV and leave Foxtel set to the Fox Sports station.
Experiment!

I watched 30 mins of it today and was impressed. They have done a good job with the footage. It shows the cultural aspects of the town, locals, archer's shooting in the Bronze and Gold mathches and interviews. My thumbs are up.

[frommy]

Rob,

Which event was it? Croatia or Turkey?

Brian

[apexrob]

Both, might show the 3rd leg too , I didn't get to watch all of it.

[2Dogs]

Right Oh Ol Chap.... pour us another cuppa Tea while your at it.

You Dr Rad :D:D

[Patchy]

Ahh Austars been out for an hour not looking good

[PeterBennett]

looks great, it is both Croatia and Turkey, and at the end they say where the next round is, so hopefully this event will keep being televised.

[Kuru]

Will look thru August magazine and let ya'll know.

[frommy]

That was some damn fine footage, and I note that it was produced by FITA. Nice camera angles, and obviously designed for consumption by archers as there was no B/S about archery which could be expected for a broadcast to the general population.

Nice cameo by gt as well.

Well done, and looking forward to the screening of the 3rd round.

Brian

[Pinky]

I noticed in the first episode that the FITA reps seemed fairly enthusiastic about getting compound as well as recurve into the Olympics. More exposure can only be good for the sport.

[dbjac]

can anyone upload a recording?

[NOCK HUNTER]

I thought it was quite good but the commentator drove me up the wall :roll:

At least it's putting Archery out there.

[kg]

Tj & I especially enjoyed the FITA 'Tink Tank' where they are always 'tinking' about ways to improve the events ;->

A very well put together show, yes, except for the announcer ("oh NO!, it's a NINE folks!!!") & except for the complete dearth of lady recurvers in the first 1/2 hr program!!!

looking forward to the next round

kirsten

ps some of the peeking by the male recurvers was *hilarious* to watch!

[Action Man]

DVD recorder set to go at 11.00 am as I will be at club today running work-for-the-dole.

Did you manage to record to DVD Pete?
If so how do you feel about shipping a copy up to a poor struggling ex-Victorian who can't afford pay TV???:)

Tony

[Progen]

can anyone upload a recording?

Yeah, did anyone manage to record it? Please?

[Ja]

i thought it was nicely put together, but like everyone else said, the commentator was annoying

[Liam]

Also wondering if anyone managed to record it...

[beetle]

Yeah I got video. I could convert it into an AVI file but I can't host that much Mb's. There's 46 minutes of video (DVD quality). I could make a lower res version but your still looking at very big files. Unless you want a 3GP version :rofl:

[KAJ]

so do you know how to send videos over email or something?

[beetle]

The first AVI I made was 198Mb. I'm working on it. Since I don't have a Cray it may take a while.

[archerybob]

[Cartz]

Archery cool? NO WAY! Archery Sucks! :p

[PeterBennett]

G'Day Tony, I have a dvd recorder, and so was able to record straight to dvd, if you or anyone want to cover the cost of a dvd, cover and postage I would be happy to send you one. I will find out tommorow how much dvd postage is. I would do it for free, but it depends how many copies I get requests for lol.
Thanks Mate
Peter

Put me on the waiting list. Cheers.

And do let me know how much to reimburse you.

[dbjac]

me too peter.

[Raven2822]

I'd also be interested.

[frommy]

Sorry to be a wet blanket on this issue, and I am certainly no legal expert on this, but I think there might be a question on legality of mass produced copies of a broadcast being distributed?

And this is being talked about on an open forum.

I may be wrong, and hope I am, but I do think some caution should be displayed.

[Progen]

You're absolutely right, frommy, BUT we still want them copies! :D

[Brocky]

:sleeping: Let the boys and girls play.

[Liam]

I'll take one too Peter!

How much? :P

[kg]

if you get me a copy of the divx, I'll host it. I'll take it to work to upload it

[2Dogs]

I don't have a Cray

I gota Cray..... I'll ask if I can use it!

I may be wrong, and hope I am, but I do think some caution should be displayed

Pffffttt

[hoyt for life 2]

I hardly think a multimilliondollar company is going to sue over 10 of so copys of a tv show they played at 11:30pm, if anything they would think its showing that people want to see archery and maby play some more.

HAHAHA

Haven't been keeping up with the MPAA and RIAA law suits have you?

[hoyt for life 2]

HAHAHA

[GrahameA]

And there are a whole set of new laws inbound to keep you amused:

[JamesW]

I did get a chance to see it the other week, sadly not very exiting but something that interested me was the rather large number of wrist strap release aids. When I did my beginners course it was made pretty clear to us that these things should not be considered if you want to shoot target archery.
Comments on the subject anyone ?

Cheers
JW

[Normie]

any release can be shot correctly and accurately..... get a copy of straight talk from the pros

[kg]

BUGGER!!!!

thwarted... it was just a repeat this morning of the last show

CURSES!!!!!!!!!

thanks kg...I am relieved. Family matters diverted me from taping it and I was thinking I had missed something of worth.

On the wrist release comment, JamesW, good point. That wasn't the only form aberration evident on the the show. Certainly some different styles. Not every archer is a KSL or Axford devotee of biomechanical excellence..

[danzi]

From a quick glance on Foxtel, I see that there is archery scheduled for Wednesday October 25 on Fox 1 (3.30 and 4pm), Friday October 27 on Fox 1 (8.00 and 8.30am) and Sunday October 29 Fox 3 (4.00 and 4.30am).

I hope they're new episodes and not repeats again.
