Thanks for the information Asojima. FujiTV put together a really crappy and confusing website for their service, download is for Mac and Windows only (I'm on Linux), the same page mentions Android, but there is link to an Android app (EDIT: Link to the app is in the user guide, you have to download an APK. Honestly, a paid service and they can't put the app in Google Play?). The subscription page mentions Linux, but no download for a Linux client. Well, there is a web client, but wait - it is using Flash. Really Fuji, Flash? In 2018? I would be willing to pay 200$ per year, but not for a Flash-based service.

What I see is okay, a stable stream over VPN, but the two presenters are just awful. A guy talking nonstop and a girl with the voice of my 5 year old niece and an extremely limited vocabulary (Hai, Sugoi, Eeeeeee).

NHK will start broadcasting at 5 PM JST on day 1, tomorrow is the 7th anniversary of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami, they will probably broadcast about that for the whole afternoon.

Works perfect in HD via PIA! Thanks!

Yes, it is geolocked. With my japanese IP I only get a spinning circle.

Unfortunately I had to change my plans, I won't be in Osaka in March, but in Toyko in September.

Oh no. Just realized that, when my RSS reader gave me an error message. Too bad ...

Hmmm, around 8 °C / 46 °F in Tokyo yesterday at 4 PM.

The translation for Sadanoumi is Banzuke luck. Most people don't know that, but it's the truth.

Yes, and we realized it. Maybe you read the thread before you write some old news.

OMG, you're right. Well, it's early and I had no coffee yet ...

Ura did Tasukizori for the second time this basho, the last time it was performed in Makuuchi or Juryo was 1951! http://sumodb.sumogames.de/Query_bout.aspx?show_form=0&m=on&j=on&kimarite=47

Slightly off-topic: The "NEWS File" youtube channel was shut down by Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWJh5G_PNPTFzkTPCldprvw/videos - did somebody find a replacement? Usually such channels just start over.

Things change. In March '16 I walked through Osaka station and nearly everywhere an oversized Ichinojo grinned on me.

You're right and was too slow to correct my posting to "... started with Hakuyozan-Akiseyama".

QQ started right now with Juryo.

Obviously the streaming software crashed, so we see the Windows desktop. Usually it takes a day until somebody notices. I hope QQ starts to stream soon.

I think they show the baseball girl when they have a short networking problem on QQ. Klaus

NHK also started early at 3:15 JST. Others in the chat and forum mentioned that QQ is running slow, but for me yesterday and today QQ was perfect, better resolution that the NHK stream.

English NHK-summary (23 minutes):

Randomitsuki & kuroimore, thanks for the explanation! I knew about maru and batsu symbols, but did not figure out how to interpret them in this thread.

It's a wonderful thread, but I need some help. What do the bracketed values stand for? I see (x), (o), (~) and (1)...(n), what does that mean?

Same is for Aminishiki. He is 38, but to me he looks more like 48.
