SINGAPORE: Some footballs fans who caught the World Cup on SingTel's Mio TV said that their viewing pleasure was marred by the poor transmission quality of the matches.

 

One of them is 19-year-old Lee Zheng Xuan, a student from the Singapore Polytechnic.

 

He said: "It was the first match of the World Cup. When we turned on the World Cup channel on Mio TV, the image just didn't load. We just got lots of grainy pictures and bits of sound here and there.

It's IP TV for goodness.

IP means there's a chance of server reset, hang, network and all kinds of problems.

the power to surprise

You know, I *want* to feel sorry for them. Really.

 

But they supported those greedy cows (whether S***T** or S***H**, I don't care) despite the fact that they could have stood together with the rest of us and watched the matches for free (either via Internet or free2air). And now they're getting what they deserve.

 

At least I hope these subscribers raise hell, join together, demand refund, etc. etc. More fun to watch the saga play out in the media, on STOMP, etc. Get the popcorn ready.

Classic.

 

Advance technology which will result in delay

[1fast1]

Fun's already started. God bless STOMP. http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...t_football.html

 

And another one (albeit somewhat unfair to S***H**, but who cares?). http://singaporeseen.stomp.com.sg/stomp/sg...u_block_it.html

 

Surely, akan datang. More attractions to come.

I think it's more because we getting old, so not so easily excited any more :D

 

When we were kids, or younger, easily fascinated or excited by little, little things that seem so unimportant now

Yup, can feel this round world cup not so "happening" as compared to previous ones. Even the "GOAL" shouts around my neighbourhood seems to be much softer too...

Maybe all went down to CC, coffee shop and McD to watch?

[Ghostami]

I think so too, notice its quite pack at all the coffee shops around my area. Think quite a good number of people rather not subscribe to the telcos.
