Fogg 427 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Does anyone else think the original SW article now reads differently to what we first saw? Sorry can't help you there, I get enough spam without voluntarily going to websites full of trash! Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Yep looks a bit different to the last article Sail World are still blaming TVNZ and ACEA, TVNZ are blaming Sailworld and ACEA. ACEA are silent but they are the ones who put the block in place so someone there will know why however I doubt they care. Silver Raven I doubt there is much we can do other than posting the situation in a public forum for all to see. It certainly is a messy situation Link to post Share on other sites
Battleship 100 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 For those that can no longer bring themselves to visit Sail World here is the article. "For New Zealand viewers these will be blocked for a period of seven days, due to an arrangement between America's Cup Event Authority and Television NZ for which neither party will admit responsibility. Each points to the other. We're tired of dealing with them, and frankly it is not our problem if they wish to treat their fans and viewers in this way. The videos below will be made available as they progressively become unblocked by America's Cup Event Authority Those who wish to view the videos ahead of their being unblocked by ACEA can do this by running a Youtube add-on to facilitate this release process. If you can run the Firefox browsers there is an add-on called Proxtube which works on some Windows operating systems. With Firefox started, Google Proxtube and then follow the instructions. Once installed, when you click on one of the blocked videos you should see a text line saying that the content is being unblocked and then the video will play. Viewers outside New Zealand don't have to bother with this nonsense.

Guest Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Well......... I am very happy to apologise when I'm wrong, but I also don't want to be too hasty to join in the collective self flaggulation. I still want to know why TVNZ: 1. Told us 2 different stories. (Their Facebook statement categorically denying that they blocked Youtube coverage vs Their reply to Clipper saying they did block it but only because of copyright infringements) 2. Didn't communicate to their viewers what they were doing AND WHY they were doing it. We may have got it wrong but it wasn't for want of trying to find out what the truth really was, and with the points above I think we could be excused for jumping to the conclusions we did.

Atom Ant 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 I'm now totally confused by what we've been told. Good that you went the extra mile to find out Send It, but it just doesn't make sense to me. None of it! I was never answered by TVNZ. But when I am truly sure that the answers we've been given are correct I'll happily do so. Link to post Share on other sites

AA i din't really do much apart from send a couple of polite emails (no sh*t stir. rare for me) and they phoned me to discuss. Have emailed the other site asking for an explanation if it is them. No reply as to date. If I don't get a reply i think the rat will begin to smell. (no offence "NZ Rat") Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Oh well, time will tell I guess, but I still can't get day 6 full replay on youtube either the normal way or by proxy - so I still don't get to see the bloody racing! Sheesh! Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 7 day block so will be up and running again next week Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 The races are available on the TVNZ Ondemand site.

Atom Ant 0 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yeah I'm after full coverage - the one on Youtube that is blocked. I'll wait, the TVNZ one is ok although like the others I don't enjoy the ever changing camera views. I guess they think it's good cinematography but it kills me. I'll just wait until it is unlocked as my ass is too big to hide as well apparently and the full programme on day 6 doesn't play for me through hidmyass. Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Ant 0 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Just watched the full replay of day 6. Great stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
