syngindub

Just seen that the PDC planning a play from Home tour this coming Friday
They mention on the beeb it's been broadcast on PDC Subscription Channel
https://www.bbc.com/sport/darts/52288607

Wondering if any other platforms will be showing the games ie. youtube, paddy power??

Paddy Irishman

It will be free to view on pdc.tv to registered users regardless of whether you have a paid subscription or not. The event will also be streamed on some betting websites so Paddy Power coverage is a strong possibility also. Full details here:

Just started but the stream quality is very bad so far, hopefully the don't make a balls of it.

syngindub

yeah, wrights cam needs an upgrade anyway

Wrights Board [ Unicorn - Eclipse Pro 2 i think !! ]

It's like it's been filmed on a flip phone from 2003....As desperate as I am for a bit of sport to watch, I don't know if I'll be able to endure much of this...lol

ThebitterLemon

I suppose it’s better than nothing but it’s hard to watch. As another poster said Wrights camera is very poor

If you’ve got the Sky sports app you can watch it on that

Here too. I know it's free and all, but this looks more like a BDO production than something you'd expect from a rich and professional organisation like the PDC :pac:

Wright wins 5/4 with two D20’s to finish.

Hard to get into this

syngindub

well i suppose a lot of lessons learned both from technical and noon technical perspective here, back to the drawing board guys

syngindub

at least they have time on their side to keep at it

I thought since the pdc are officially running this we might get a bit of quality, maybe a bit of zooming in but this is unwatchable for me

It's a tough watch alright, it is what it is, I only stick it on for some background sport, while I try throw a few myself

Kingp35

I think it's unwatchable as well. Fair play to them for trying but if you can't see if the dart is in the treble/double or not then there's not much point in watching.

Kingp35

The quality has improved considerably as the competition has gone on. I find most of the matches very watchable now.

I’d stopped watching, how clearly can you now see where the dart lands?

Thanks

It's fairly clear now. Can still be a bit hit and miss though. Here's Klaasen v Clemens last night for an example.

Thanks. Checked in tonight, much better quality alright, although the board on the left seems to be in better focus.

First night I could get proper stream working. Michael Smith bottled a 3 nil lead and lost 5-3 to Matijn Kleermaker.

No idea how Kleermaker can hit double 3 from his height

SketchyPrince

Is this worth watching? Gave up the first night

PDC's youtube channel shows one live match a night they should have previous broadcasts on if you want judge the recent quality. I've been having trouble running the stream without it crashing so it's not great

Dillonb3

Irish interest tonight, Ciaran Teehan playing against Chris Dobey, Ron Meulenkamp and Kai Fan Leung

US2

First night really watching this tonight. Hardly helpful to have Dan Dawson commentating away on there darts and asking them questions between legs? Wouldnt help concentrating levels

US2

Good laugh off Durant v pipe

Live darts all day long here. Seems better than the PDCs offerings. Some great games.

Final for this tonight; Clayton, Anderson, Klaasen, Aspinall probably the most consistent throughout the tournament
