Victoria begins Trots Vision

[Messenger]

Well done David, I was wondering whether starting the broadcast from when the horses first come on the track for their warm up would be relatively inexpensive to produce and yet of great interest to trots fans

I just had it on at the same time as Fox Sky1 for Hamilton R1 and noticed that Trots Vision was about 10 secs behind

Although it is not full HD you can choose the Setting 720 which is a better pic than you can get on Sky

I have found another great feature of these early days of Trots Vision. You can have Trots Vision playing and be doing something else and when they cross the sound comes on and you know a race is about to be run. It is especially appealing to those of us who hate the barrage called Sky1

As much as I like to have the Setting at 720p for the best possible pic, I find that sometimes on this setting the pic freezes or buffers too much. Anybody else find this?

[Messenger]

Worse than freezing this time! Sky1 I love you again

Breaking up again tonight (Kilmore). I have given up on 720p resolution but even on 540p (and not going to Full screen on the computer) I cannot be sure of getting through the race

Please don't make me go back to Sky 1

Any tech experts or better still HRV people out there who can explain whether Trots Vision is meant for anything more than small ph or tablet screens

Just experimented during the interviews after R3. I only have the resolution on 540p but every time (did it 5 times) I chose Full screen for my computer the pic froze forcing me to exit full screen, refresh the page and select play again.

Please HRV do not commit too much to program production etc until you get the streaming right. I am finding it pretty useless of late - freezing all the time when setting is on Auto (540p) and on small screen (not full screen)

It is not a problem if I connect to my mobile broadband which seems to have a faster speed than my ADSL2 but I still cannot excuse it as I watch things on SBS on demand on full HD on full screen without a problem
