 I guess some of the satellites up there must be pretty long in the tooth now. Guess that might have something to do with it? |
|
By:
+ cost + vested interests of associated parties.

By:
While he's over in Washington - get that Starmer chap to have a quick word with Musk this arvo to see about speeding the satellites up a bit then!
 |
|
By:
The money on these last couple of matches seemed alright to me anyway - hopefully a little bit more interest about - who knows.

Astra satellites The BBC broadcasts BBC One and BBC Two regional variations on the SES Astra satellites at 28.2° east. The BBC uses multiple transponders on the Astra 2E satellite. In 2003, the BBC moved most of its channels from Astra 2A to Astra 2D, which focuses more on the UK. |

And, impressively, Gemini already knows that Eurosport has gone and won't tell me which satellites it uses!

By:
With Hotbird 13F being the obvious outlier, I was expecting that to be the oldest and most decrepit, but it was launched in October 2022!

Zak blows a golden chance for 2-0 and gets punished. JB levels, 1-1.
|
|
By:
2-1 Zak. JB stinking the place out and on occasion threatening to drag Zak down with it.
Was hoping to get out for a ride between sessions, but not sure that's going to be on the cards barring a straight 5-1 Zak kill. |
|
By:
Best of 11 today Lat.
|
|
By:
I knew that
 Cheers, App! (prospects now diminished to zero) |
|
By:
How did JB break down there? Went to put breakfast on with it looking a cert for 2-2.
|
|
By:
Zak steals on the black! 3-1!
|
|
By:
John potted a pink which sent a red into the middle. nice steal from Zak.
|
|
By:
Cheers, App!
Just listening to this JOC interview. Didn't realise he'd changed to cue from pre-$hit Out (and switched to a titanium ferrule). |
|
By:
*changed cue from pre-$hit Out.
|
|
By:
Oh, Zak
 |
|
By:
JB punishes in a oner, 3-2 Zak
|
|
By:
Oh, Zak!
|
|
By:
JB punishes in a oner, despite making hard work of it and almost missing frame ball. 3-3.
|
|
By:
Baaaaaaaaad miss, Zak, when in with a great chance for 4-3.
|
|
By:
Matters not, JB runs out of position and Zak runs it out, 4-3 Zak.
|
|
By:
yeah Lat, a lot seem to be switching to the Titaniums these days. 20 years time they'll probably have telescopic sights on them
O'Connor deffo one to keep an eye out for in the WC's. |
|
By:
Yeah, I've been saying for a couple of seasons that his game looks tailor-made for the Crucible, but he didn't even get there that first time.
He seems to have learnt from his match against Ali at the Welsh where he played an absolute cruiseliner plant at 3-1 up and never really recovered. |
|
By:
Oh, Zak.....
|
|
By:
Go on, Zak! Steals on the pink. 5-3
|
|
By:
JB's turn to steal on the pink after Zak took his medicine but didn't really get the cueball safe, 5-4 Zak.
|
|
By:
Oh, Zak
|
|
By:
Zak shaking his head like he didn't realise that red went.
