Live Video , slower than usual ?

I eventually got a fraction over 3s ahead at fonters, but no sign of the 4+ we have been getting....

Maybe better to slow it down for them rather than keep cutting out 2 to go?

2 to go to obvious and many clicking on

York fine (same as RUK as usual).

Yep Lamott, same thing happened when ATR behind the red button was same speed as SIS. They soon put an end to that

Around 3.4 secs here.

deffo 1.5 secs behind sis at fonters

It's a second behind at the curragh. Have had it to .2 of a second before. Definitely slower

Behind SIS that is

stop complaining , its only a fiver a race

At the risk of adding further fuel to the conspiracy fire, why is the relative speed to RUK unaffected?

Because SIS charge 8k a year ?

If they were intent on sabotage they'd slow the pics down on the lv feed .

This is one conspiracy theory i definitely subscribe too, in truth i am surprised it hasn't happened sooner.....have to monitor it closely.

Fontwell is near a second behind SIS. As said previously used to get live video to near .2 of a second behind so there has been a definite increase in Live video speeds lately.

It could be however that SIS have speeded up a tad lately since some tracks went fibre optic.

That wouldn't explain the difference between LV and ATR contracting though.

Back to 4s at Newcastle....

yep , seems better than yesterday

Was fine yesterday as it is today. Sure it's not your PC rcing?

bilbo , the speed of the pictures were slower yesterday , the reliability was good .
pc is fine here

Rcing is correct.

I thought it was behind yesterday tbh, the speed is better today although , the general quality is a tad spluttery i think.

It was definitely a bit slower yesterday. It seems fine today touch wood.

it was also slow  at stratford on saturday could only get it to 3s ahead of atr despite reloading numerous times during race
NA looks ok today

gone slower here now.....approx 2.5sec infront atr

gone

Just lost Bath, did this happen to aynone else?

Yes

If they do not provide the service, maybe we should all demand our money back?

lost bath also - come back on again 5strides past the winning line - handy!

yes...then came back after they had crossed the line..

Sorry, I put my chair down on the cable.

ttt

I reckon it's slowed down again today.

without a doubt slower

1 sec ?

they do not want us to make money and they will do anything

galway was ok tbh but uttox and donny are slower and with the odd stutter thrown in to take a few more fractions off which only levels out when you're down to a couple of secs, it ain't good.

so we've had no loss of pics today and in fact it's been a little better this week

but they couldn't have that , so lop a second or so off the speed



always something in place to fk it up



what's interesting is nobody knows why it cuts out during a race but the supplier has seen fit to put an extra delay in


smells

Cutting out 2 furlongs out every other race was far too obvious,better to just gradually slow the feed hoping people are non the wiser.

we never used to get the cut out

before that it was the ridiculously obvious pausing to bring it back to ATR speeds

abt a seconds diff with ATR come the finish at uttox.

woe

Ok guys - posted earlier in the thread that I thought you were mistakes but have taken my own readings today and completely agree with you -it's about a second bloody slower that it has been and should be which can only be deliberate.

what we're getting more of again which is something that used to happen alot is the odd pause, so you may stumble across a good few seconds ahead feed but by the time the race is at it's business end , that has been eroded away.

This may (and I stress may) be a red herring in terms of skullduggery. My understanding (for reasons that weren't crystal clear) was that SIS itself produces pictures that have different delays from different tracks. If it was going to be deliberately slowed across the board, why was yesterday right back up to as quick as it's been? I have also had 4s ahead of ATR (just about) today.

galway seems ok, don't know whether it being an irish track has any significance or not.

Backs up what i'm saying I think Duffy - as does the fact there were SIS ers complaining how far behind they felt at Donny today.

why has this never happened before tho gerard ?

I think it has tbh, but there are so many variables (does it load instantly, is there stuttering etc) that it goes unnoticed. I also don't think that many tracks are affected. I could be completely wrong, but i do know even people who use SIS have previously thought/known that they get differing speeds from different tracks.

doncaster seems normal here .
i just keep refreshing until i get around 4 seconds ahead of ATR/RUK.

i was told about 8 months ago , that there are only around 50 home subscribers for SIS . would you think this figure to be about right ?

home SiS sent me an email the other day telling me that they were around 1.5 seconds to 2 seconds ahead of ATR
I wrote back asking them to look again at that data as ATR was now so delayed that 2 seconds in front of it was pointless
Im still waiting for a response.

Incidentally my other questions were not answered by them either, does anybody know what happens at the end of the 2 year contract, does it go into a rolling period or do they expect you to keep signing into 2 year contracts?

Like you say dusty, their sales pitch ain't up too much!! incidentallty, that uttox race was hopeless, even if you got a decent time delay it always stutters.

1.5 or 2 seconds? They're joking or incompetent.

carlisle , only a fraction behind RUK , about 0.2

atr tracks will always be the problem, the quality today is also hopeless, pauses all over the place.

Must admit duff - I haven't had too many problems today.

Dusty,
I am inclined to agree with your thoughts because the irish today seems far better in terms of feed and general quality, it seems to depend on individual tracks, some better than others, if you get a few baddies on the same day, it looks bad.

Galway is 1 sec quicker than Uttoxeter
