Asojima 2,873 Posted July 12, 2016 It is still screen-shrinking live-ticker breaking news that it can get hot in the summertime in Japan...In the past, when there has been a major news event or a breaking political event, NHK has preempted the sumo matches. When they do this, UBS has broadcast the sumo matches live in the normal time slot. Hopefully, when the Naadam is finished, UBS will return to normal scheduling and give us a coverage backup. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atenzan 1,074 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) http://mov3.co/nhk.html Smoother edition of the NHK stream NeutronGirl provided. Japanese language, currently with moto-Mainoumi as guest commentator Edit: as of now, 4:06 pm JST, the makuuchi broadcast has started. Before the newsflash, they showed the yokozuna dohyo-iri too.

NeutronGirl 21 Posted July 12, 2016 I've been at work the last few days during the live bout times, has that streaming site been working? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 12, 2016 I've been at work the last few days during the live bout times, has that streaming site been working? It worked perfectly fine all since I first tried it! Thanks a zillion again for this precious hint! (Applauding...) (Zabuton flying...) (Punk rocker...) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 12, 2016 (edited) Since the new NHK G livestream seems to be smooth and stable, I checked NHK's Live Sumo broadcast schedule. An overview can be found here. As it is only available in Japanese, I will list the daily program schedule below: JST means Japanese Standard Time, it is 7 hours ahead of CEST (Central European Summer Time). 13 July (Wed.) 15:18 JST (live action should begin in mid Juryo) 14 July (Thu.) 15:10 JST (same as above) 15 July (Fri.) 15:10 JST 16 July (Sat.) 15:05 JST 17 July (Sun.) 15:05 JST 18 July (Mon.) 15:05 JST 19 July (Tue.) 15:10 JST 20 July (Wed.) 15:10 JST 21 July (Thu.) 15:10 JST 22 July (Fri.) 15:10 JST 23 July (Sat.) 15:05 JST 24 July (Sun.) 15:05 JST (most likely just in time for Makuuchi action*) * the bouts on the last day are a bit earlier in order to have time for the Yusho presentation As Asojima already mentioned, NHK G can change their live coverage on short notice in case of some urgent events (this can range from an important parlament session to a severe earthquake). If there would be a similar stable stream option for NHK BS1, we would have the luxury of enjoying live makushita and maybe also upper Sandame action, as this channel starts its daily live Ozumo broadcasting already at 13:00 JST.

Asojima 2,873 Posted July 12, 2016 FWIW, the UBS schedule is now showing the "Nagoya Basho" in today's 16:00 (4:00 PM)entry. The Naadam preemption may be over. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, this is Murphy's reaction when you write down a schedule... No live Sumo coverage on NHK yet... :-( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asojima 2,873 Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Jakusotsu, on 13 Jul 2016 - 00:04, said:UBS is back! Yay! As expected, it is running about 3 minutes ahead of the Vaughn NHK stream. The video quality on Vaughn is cleaner and smoother. Edited July 13, 2016 by Asojima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 15, 2016 the stream is not running smoothly today. Seems like it is rebuffering every 3-5 seconds. Might be a problem of my smartphone's cache or the WiFi here at the office or is anyone having the same issues? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Asojima 2,873 Posted July 15, 2016 Vaughn may be starting to have a bandwidth problem. Too many people are discovering the site?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kuroimori 1,634 Posted July 15, 2016 Vaughn may be starting to have a bandwidth problem. Too many people are discovering the site?? That was also my thought. If this continues, I might consider to try to "VIP Basic" option at 9.95 USD per month. It says that you get "priority viewing" and no more "Video Servers at Capacity". Or I just go back to the garage/bridge TV studion in the Ulan Bataar Suburbs (UBS). :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kintamayama 44,680 Posted July 15, 2016 I watched it today. Totally smooth after 3 restarts. For the whole 2 hours. So I doubt it's a bandwidth thing. And as for discretion, well, I've said this many times before.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
