cracky · #1 January 2, 2005, 09:19 PM

will sgstream or any one else live webcaset the test and one days between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe?

howzatt! · #2 January 3, 2005, 02:23 AM

cracky, we are all waiting for an answer to that question. but most probably no online media will broadcast the series. i'm still searching on the web everyday for a site that will atleast have audio commentary if not video.

cracky · #3 January 3, 2005, 09:43 AM

as far as I know direct tv has bought the copyiright to broadcast all the test and one day matches that takes place in Bangladesh. thats why they also showed mathc between BD and India. Now lets hope they will also show BD VS ZIM.

I think Bangladesh Radio will probably commentate in bangla; though I don't know if that channel will be available on the net or not.

howzatt! · #5 January 3, 2005, 01:50 PM

i wish homeviewbangladesh still had their media section going!

babubangla · #6 January 3, 2005, 06:55 PM

any further finding on the webcast?
After watching BD-IND matches live, my hopes are high now!!
I hate to go back to cricinfo !!

I wrote the following e-mail to Willow TV:
Dear Sir, Is there any possibility of broadcasting the Bangladesh-Zimbabwe cricket series on willow TV? I would higly appreciate your reply.

And I got the following reply:
Dear Subscriber, Thank you for your message. Unfortunately We havent got rights to telecast the Series between Bangladesh and Zimbabwe. Please continue to visit us at www.willow.tv for updates. Regards, Willow TV Support

I am going to write to Cricinfo to find out whether they have any plan for unofficial radio commentry of the series.

babubangla · #9 January 3, 2005, 10:13 PM

I wrote to destinywaste about their plan for the Bangladesh-Zimbabwe Cricekt series webcast. I got the following negative reply:

Sorry, I'm not webcasting anything until Ind-Pak in March.

babubangla · #10 January 3, 2005, 10:32 PM

If no other site provide video or audio webcast of the BAN-ZIM series, is it possible for the BanglaCricket fans to arrange something ourselves? Others might come up with better plans, I have the following one proposal in my mind:

If we can find someone to do the favor from Bangladesh to turn on the radio or the TV in front of their computer microphone, then it is possible to use Paltalk or some other voice-chat room for listening to the game live online all together. If anyone available in Bangladesh to do the favor, I am willing to contribute financially for their time. I think many other will be willing to contribute, if needed.

Please post your comment on the possibility of the above proposal. Also, I guess, we all would like to know if there is any other alternate proposal for the BanglaCricket fans to help themselves while no other commercial sites are stepping forward to webcast the BAN-ZIM cricket series.

It would probably be extremey hard to broadcast anything from Bangladesh given the bandwith available there. However, someone can make some money in here in North America, if they have access to DirectTV!

We can learn a few things from our Indian comrades

kalimdor · #12 January 4, 2005, 12:10 AM

I heard directTV is not broadcasting Zim - BD series. Is it true?

moinkhan · #13 January 4, 2005, 12:12 AM

Willow TV is usually late in getting broadcasting rights; so, there is still hope.

As ESPN-India will be carrying the matches live [http://espnstar.com/jsp/cda/sportson...s_legacy.html] and DirecTV got the exclusive right to telecast international cricket matches from Bangladesh [http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/aboutu...d=12_01_2004A], I am optimistic that these will lead to the same combination, i.e. Willow TV and SGStream. That means the same old story; we need to continue guessing the event name in SG!!

Direct TV has the right to broadcast all matches from Bangladesh through 2008. See the Direct TV announcement below:
http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/aboutu...id=12_01_2004A

I wrote to Willow TV and they wrote me that they don't have rights to broadcast thsi series. But they suggested me to keep eye on willow.tv website for updates. I guess, Willow TV did not make up any deal with Direct TV yet.

So, there is good possibility that they BAN-ZIM series might be on Direct TV Pay per view. I will call Direct TV tomorrow. Unfortunately, I dont have Direct TV and I am not authorized to get any sellelite dish installed in my apartment either

Still I will try to get info from them, in case any Diect TV subscriber among us willing to do the favor for us. If needed, I guess, many of us will be willing to share financially....at least I know I will.

babubangla · #16 January 4, 2005, 12:51 AM

why SG don't give prospective subcriber at least any hint about the event name? I had to guess many things last time to get the event payment page. Are they trying to hide something?

I merged the two webcast thread.

babubangla · #20 January 4, 2005, 01:02 AM

Good Work Chinaman....it makes things easier to follow updates. There is another thread "Live Cricket" which you might also consider to merge here.

*reverse_swing* · #21 January 4, 2005, 01:14 AM

What about Haider(Crickipagol) Bhai's webcast?

howzatt! · #22 January 4, 2005, 01:29 AM

willow tv didn't get rights to braodcast, becuz they didn't try to get the rights and thats becuz they know that they can't make much profit out of that series. here's a thought about getting willow tv to broadcast bangladeshi series in future. when you register with willow tv, they ask you which country do you follow the most. i'm sure they didn;t get too many bangladesh's as answers. so they decided not to bother about BD-Zim series. so guys, if we all go to willow tv and register and say we follow bangladesh the most, they'll probably broadcast future BD series. *a hint to multiply registartiions* register more than once with different emails.

and yeah if anyone is willing to broadcast using their webcam or microphone, i'm willing to contribute financially aswell.

If used as Paltalk voice-chat, i guess bandwith should not be a problem. I see many people from Dhaka come to Paltalk voicechat and perform music and around 100 people listen to their performance all together. If there is anyone available in BD, we could give it a try, i guess!!

howzatt! · #24 January 4, 2005, 02:17 AM

yeah plz do sth our friends in BD. use paltalk or sth.

BD Tigers · #25 January 4, 2005, 12:55 PM

Did anybody call Directv and asked them whether they are showing this series or not?
