Mnnn... cold got worse. Well, after that marathon with the weather at Doha, I'm not surprised. She did outlast the other seeds. Of course that won't stop the press. Blowing off a second tier after winning a first tier is something players do all the time, but I'm expecting: "The crisis of Sharapova's career.." yadda, yadda, yadda. [:P] Why, Philli may even be back to talk trash. [H]

Get well, hon. Chaki should be on court when Eurosport starts daytime play...

We actually need some time to explore and sift out all these leads you've accumulated in the last few days. [H] Besides, I'm always trying to go somewhere. Dubai, for example--Elena D jumped into Dubai late in the day. (Y'all do realize these appearances are subject to ongoing negotiations between players' agents and the tournament organizers?) And Chaki and the other friends are still playing. I'm still going to follow the tournament. 

don't worry this thread won't be dead and won't be lost[:D] any streams that we find just keep posting it here[:D]

remeber the one i post the 'attention!!..channel change' just reminding you that espn won't be broadcasting indian wells anymore they said that it will be cover by fox sports network(which I have!hehe[:D]) but still i prefer to watch it online[:P]

Why the ESPN move? I could answer that, but at risk of pushing previous rants too far. [;)] Where Fox online--we'll have to look for that one. (I also have it on cable TV. Never watched it before--will now.)

For any interested, the new myp2p Dubai link for Media Player is working pretty good, pretty fast:

That's too bad. I watched it all through the Mirza/Dushevina match. Try it tomorrow and maybe it'll work for you then. It's a higher-grade British Eurosport stream (with English commentary, of course) running as high as 360 kbps. They've gone to other programming now; Mauresmo and the Spaniard being carried on the pbxtelecom.ro stream, mms://89.165.156.131:8091/ .

Y'welcome. Hopefully, it'll start coming through for alwysdreaming as well. [H] Yeah, it was running really sweet there on the golf. [:P] Slightly lesser now but still pretty good. myp2p.eu called this "Eurosport Pacific" and I guess it is because Eurosport Asia Pacific was scheduled to begin reruns of Dubai Day 2 at 22:00 GMT, and indeed they did get back to Dubai sometime before 22:30, beginning with the last set of Chaki whipping Radwanska. [:D].

Windows Media Player labels the stream "newmedia_eurosport". I'll try to find an mms protocol. In the meantime, though, hang onto that worldondemand URL because, like some earlier portals, it disappeared from myp2p.eu's weekday schedule after today's matches. [^o)]

Re some earlier discussion about online Eurosport versus Fox for Indian Wells. Keep in mind that FSN (Fox Sports Net), like ESPN, are looking through lenses held by American camera crews. American broadcasting shoots very little from the sidelines and almost never follows the players in action from courtside. Guess they're afraid of showing the girls' bodies or something. No courtside coverage during breaks (they go to commercial instead) unless it's to go to one of their own reporters.

Moreover, instead of staying with a match like Eurosport tends to do, the US broadcasters decide for you what you ought to be watching. [:@] They'll interrupt anyone's match to go shoot a Williams sister and, at Miami, expect them to drop coverage of  any WTA match to cut away to the men. If Eurosport is actually on site at Indian Wells and Miami, using their own crews rather than piggy-backing on a US signal, I for one want to have their stream in addition to whatever I can get on TV. [H]

In spite of a basketball announcer today indicating he was taping for Eurosport 2, the worldondemand stream

http://www.worldondemand.net/redirect.asp?id=4310&ActiveID=267796

is definitely the Eurosport Asia Pacific schedule as shown lower on the page at:

http://yahoo.eurosport.com/tvschedule_clng0.shtml

There should be reruns of Wed action overnight from 3:15 - 6:00 GMT (that's tonight from 21:15 to midnight CST in the States.)

myp2p.eu is again showing linx coming Thursday & Friday. I assume that tennisform and others will as well. Any time you find this stream through a different portal, please right-click the link and check "properties" to see if we can find its mms:// protocol. May be valuable in the future.

I've tried to distill the Thursday Schedule:

Thursday's time slots are pretty comprehensive for covering all quarterfinals. Unless a match runs way overlong, they could cast all in the scheduled slots 10:15-13:30 and 15:00-18:30 GMT.

Oddly, regular Eurosport (the pbxtelecom.ro link) is presently showing only a slot for the first match (Kuzi vs Amelie) 10:15-11:45 GMT.

However, if you have SopCast and might want to try for Chaki vs JJ (so as to possibly record), check at 11:45-13:30 GMT and see if SopCast can catch the stream Channel 42829, "Eurosport 2 Romania". Mine has yet to pull it in on a wireless hookup, but it tries real hard. [H]
