Wimbledon on Broadband !

VSandhi20 · Futures qualifying

it a good idea, but i rather watch it on tv, watching via broadband probably say 'sorry the server is too busy!!'

Nice.. Might be useful when someone else in the family is watching something else on the TV.

If you use a UK proxy IP stagger you could be able to watch it. Unfortunately I only know how to set up a UK proxy when having a UK IP.

Mkkreuk, maybe you could ask you friend who knows a lot about computers ?

Or maybe someone else knows how to set up a UK proxy when you have a Taiwan IP.

i dont even know what a proxy is. but if it involves tricking the beeb into thinking im in the uk, im all for it.

That's basically what it is !

The other way of course is to hack into the computer of someone in the UK, but I don't recommend that you do that

Excellent feature from the BBC, I'm really pleased, I've been hoping for several years for them to do this ! Will it offer options of viewing all courts or just centre and no 1 [ie: will I be able to view Baker, Fleming, Boggo, Bloomers and the guys I want to see or will I be stuck with Williams, Roddick, Fed and Hingis on centre in the early rounds !]

Noooo, don't convert to the dark side !

Apologies for mentioning Hingis like that ! I do actually really enjoy watching her play against any opponent. I just meant that often in the early rounds the show court matches are quite boring with someone like Davenport crushing a much lower ranked opponent 0 and 1 and the Beeb show that instead of an exciting 5 setter involving a Brit. Jonny Marray's matches in the past couple of years spring to mind !

Actually I've found out that the Beeb online are showing the first 5 courts which is good
