    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:

    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

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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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

    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

    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
