Asojima 2,367 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) For Kyushu 17, it appears we will have at least 2 basic choices for free online live streaming of the matches. A third relatively new source should be available for free non-sekitori viewing. Finally, one of our old standbys (UBS)is marginally usable. Sherming 9 provides the live NHK G video and audio coverage of the makuuchi division and, usually, the last half of the juryo division. It also provides an online chat service which is used by several of our forum members. Coverage normally starts at about 3:10PM JST. Some users have problems getting smooth coverage on Sherming. It may be due to broadband limits on their IPS/internet source. Sherming recently upgraded its software. If a problem is encountered here, the old version of the software can be activated by adding "/old" to the end of the URL link. For early Day 1, Sherming 9 is temporarily off line. qq-live or qq-sumo is a Chinese site which broadcasts the NHK G video and audio of at least the makuuchi division, but its coverage is unpredictable. Its coverage may start anytime from 1:30 PM JST to 3:30PM and include additional makushita and juryo matches. Things get a little flaky here, but it can be a good alternative to the Sherming site. Sports Navi should also be available via a proxy site for the lower rank matches. This link provides details on getting access to Sports Navi UBS Stream is a free Mongolian service which provides NHK video of the makuuchi division with Mongolian audio commentary. It normally starts at about 4:10PM JST. The video resolution is lower than on Sherming and qq, and it has some minor freeze problems. For me, UBS Stream is not working on Firefox, but Chrome is usable. The Sherming site normally runs with a 3 minute delay. qq can be real time or with several minutes delay. The NSK site posts the match results within seconds of the match completion. This can be a spoiler for the stream viewing. The streams will occasionally build up a delay within your browser. If a delay build up is noticed, it can usually be eliminated by doing a restart on the link. If there is a major news or political event occurring in Japan, the NHK sumo coverage may get preempted on the Sherming site. If this happens, the normal NHK sumo coverage usually will still appear on the qq and UBS sites. They are your backup. The streams may become choppy or pixelated. Changing your browser or viewing mode may help. Smoother viewing is usually found in full screen mode, and most of us find that Chrome will sometimes provide a cleaner stream. Some enterprising individuals have found ways to provide live sumo streaming via UTube. In the past, when these sites have been mentioned publicly on the forum, they have tended to disappear. The copyright police are active. If one becomes known, it is best to exchange information about it via private PMs. The General Info topic should be used to communicate new developments in the streaming world. Use this basho-specific topic to convey infomation regarding the coverage availability for this basho. Edited November 12, 2017 by Asojima 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbovo 219 Posted November 12, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I've come here to offer an option to watch the Kyushu Basho live (at least the Makuuchi fights) on my Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCv27fK5XYOzAjJl2RSTO6ww?view_as=subscriber As you can see I already did a test run on the final day of Aki Basho, you can check out the quality, I expect to have something similar for the new tournament as well. 4 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Asojima 2,367 Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) Day 1 - qq is live in mid-Juryo at 02:50 JST. Sherming9 is still off-line with its video, but the chat is available. Day 1 Update. qq-live and UBS Stream functioned normally. Sherming9 was offline for Day 1, but it appears to have been repaired. It should return for Day 2. The Mbovo site has very good video quality. It is running with a several minute delay. Edited November 12, 2017 by Asojima Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've been watching on your stream and I've been very happy with the quality. The only thing I might suggest is that you not leave the full stream archives up too long. In the past, someone (the NSK, some other stakeholder, who knows?) has been fairly aggressive in getting videos captures from sumo broadcasts taken down, and we wouldn't want you to collect a bunch of copyright violation strikes. They seem to tolerate @Kintamayama's daily digests, perhaps because they're just excerpts without a lot of commentary, but they're unpredictable otherwise.

Hmm.. They tolerate Jason, Miselet and Mensing for quite a while as well. Now, let's hope this hasn't been called to their attention.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mbovo 219 Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) Looks like no Juryo coverage today as both channels are showing J League soccer games. :( As far as I can tell, only Makuuchi on Japanese tv tomorrow as well... Edited November 18, 2017 by mbovo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The schedule of the main channel changed since yesterday. At the moment it looks as though their coverage starts at 3:05pm JST with the second half of Juryo.
