Can anybody comment on the quality of these streams?
Paid for the 247 pass for the Euros but wasn't impressed by the pixalated images!

Signed up for the Ustream whole of tournament deal $24.95 up-front today.
Sadly missed the opening ceremony and Fin v Czech opening game.
Happily surprised to view a full replay this evening at no extra cost-decent picture quality and the excellent Dave Hallows on the mic.

Tomorrow's game schedule looks good too.

ps Dave, Fin attackman #9 Altinen-"Too Tall"?

[UKLaxfan]

There is only one Too Tall and not the NFL Cowboys Lineman "Too Tall" Jones

I am of course referring to the Legend from Buckhurst Hill by way of Milan & Ontario

Craig "Too Tall" Anderson - the original Stretch Armstrong who could finish 1-on-1 vs any goalie

Yesterday was tricky as I can barely speak English let alone Finnish & Czech

Fun in Turku pronounced Tuurrrrrrrrku - (imagine a talking pigeon) roll you R's

Big Boys come out to play today

England vs Iroquois Nationals

USA vs Australia

and the main event Scotland vs Korea

It's great to see the different styles of play of each Country

Opening ceremony was v good,
- Brass Band - Tick
- Mayoress of Turku - Tick
- Tom Hayes - Tick
- 5 Finnish Girls in lycra doing gymnastics in front of over 200 17-19yr boys - Tick

Finland is a good choice of venue, lots of space, friendly locals

Who is Turku's favourite son?

Paavo Nurmi?

Paavo Nurmi?

In DH's words ... 'take a bow' .... a contender for the greatest Olympian ever ... 8 Golds, and 3 Silvers until he was banned for life for taking money to run. I wonder how much he was paid back in the early 1930's? Must be a statue of him in Turku??

Good work on the commentary Dave, not easy I know.

There's a stadium named after him not far from where the games are taking place - and a statue outside Helsinki's Olympic Stadium

I there an option to pay per game...as oppose to the $24.95 tournament option?

[davewilliams]

Yes, $4.95 I think. Not sure whether a replay comes with that.

I signed up for all the games but I am struggling to watch them all.
Does anyone know how to save them and if, not how long will they be up for viewing, as I go on holiday in a couple of weeks and should have time then.
