LIVE SNOOKER at last!

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..

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...
