I hear that sky are going to "unvail" in the next snooker event on sky
sports, the TIP CAM.

A small camera inserted into the tip of the cue for all those dramatic
shots, and even better angles. Plenty of shots of the roofs of places
aswell.

:-)

(if this does happen I want royalties from this invention........are you
listening Rupert..I'll bring down SKY........i wish)

I must admit, it is pretty impressive stuff.

I tried the interactive and to switch between the live tables was great.
Just haven't got a "Player Cam yet!"..

I remember that infamous night back in 1985 when I was a mere teenager.

I remember watching Steve Davis and Denis Taylor on my black&white telly

in my bedroom when my
parents thought I was asleep!!!!

I remember that final well and I tend to enjoy watching the World

Champion
Snooker on BBC.
However, generally, BBC only show edited highlights of the day's games.

At last, the viewer now has the facility to pick and choose which game

to
watch, and more
importantly, watch that game LIVE!!!

It makes so much difference when you watch a sporting event live

compared
to watching edited
highlights.

Well done BBC. This is what interactive digital TV is all about. Keep

up the good example to
other TV producers..

you
don't like snooker and
find it boring)
Some of us enjoy it!

Yes - it certainly makes a change that the BBC have done something
right. :)

It makes so much difference when you watch a sporting event live compared to
watching edited
highlights.


Especially when they tend to edit out precisely the bits I want to see.

It's usually something like 'X' made 3 consecutive century breaks, but
we'll show you the next frames boring safety exchange instead...

Its not live on Eurosport.
It has "LIVE" written on the screen but it isn't!

Try looking at a game on Eurosport and then watch the same game on BBCi

Yes. I checked earlier today and it was identical to the live match on BBCi

However, I did notice the other day that it was about 2 frames behind earlier in the week.

With all this interactive TV nonsense. This is the only useful feature along
with Wimbledon where again you get to choose which match to watch.

BTW I watch neither but do appreciate that it is nice for those who enjoy these
sports.
