Fyi - Willow Tv

[zep1706]

Didn't want to open a new thread, but Times of India homepage has a link on the top where you can watch the match live for free, right now the link is not there, but I guess it will reappear tomorrow when day 2 is on. It's the same Willow Broadcast sponsored by Wells Fargo. US only. Day 1 replay and live from studio--

Use Hotsopt shield software. I use it to watch willow videos which are free.

Yeah sorry about that. It's available only in the US. I think you can watch the whole thing live or the replays on http://www.starsports.com/

For some reason this never works for me! My current IP says California. Any ideas? I also can't see any place to buy the WillowTV package as well.

WillowTV is quite broad - StarSports is very limited in cricket offerings.

Cant say. While watching today it was Arizona and it worked well. Whenever it does not work, what i do is disconnect my internet and close the browsers completely. After that i connect internet and the open Hotspot shield. After it is connected i open the browser and it starts working. If this also fails, i restart my PC and it works . I have never tried buying, so can't say anything about that.

Thanks - I've written to them. Their season pass deal is pretty good. I would love to know more.

Dexter, why you need to buy all this after living in India. Won't a tv package or cable be cheaper than this for you guys who are back home.

Man that sucks.. Before things used to be so simple back in India. You have cable provider and you get all the damn channels in the world. And now all this package shyt is just has messed it up and made things more complicated. You have to get some of the crappiest channels which you would never watch only to get cricket.

Also, from what I understand WillowTV will have no ads encroaching on the cricket space - I hate the ads.

Sometimes you will get coverage from it's own cricket channel which is willow cricket, and sometimes from sky sports or other channels. So yes, you will see tv ads. but not as much as you see on star sports or set max in India. Also, Willow Cricket, does get it's feed often from star sports too :)

I am just curious. How fast is the fastest internet connection in India? Which ISP and how much does it cost? Also is there any data restriction?

I understand - but WillowTV is quite cool. I have used it earlier.

100Mbps - It is not a connection for commercial use and hence no data restrictions.

:omg: BTW....Willow subs can get access to their matches in 2 ways....1st Willow TV streams which you can access either on mobile or PC. They have limited adds. 2nd...Willow streams on youtube...which are also avaialble in HD...& have NO ADDS. Yup...NO ADDS. Love them. Have no idea if Willow works using the hotspotshield...but if you are a sub...then try their youtube stream.

I have Dish network but dont have Willow Channel subscribed.. However, fortunately, willow has been free channel for past week as promotion.. and I think they have done this just to pay tribute to SRT.. I think they will block the channel once this second test gets over.

Willow TVs quality has been awful for this series. The logo states it's HD but quality is so bad that when zoomed in, one can't even recognize faces. Also the video is couple of seconds delayed than the video.

Do you have Hindi Mega, Hindi Elite, Urdu or Bangla Pack as part of the subscription. If yes...then congrats....Willow HD is not part of those pack & automatically included. I thought the same last week. (I have Hindi Elite).
