kuroimori Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 No picture so far on niji, which is not good for me.. NIJI software doesn't respond... :-( I am thinking of spending some bucks on jpPlayer again. On the bright side, the commentators over at UBS decided to have a rather quite day which means the original NHK comments can be heard quite well. Now UBS is getting more and more choppy. Maybe it's just my tablet..?
torquato Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 No picture so far on niji, which is not good for me.. NIJI software doesn't respond... :-( Thought it was only me. Tryed a dozen of times. It's now working for me. :-)
Tsubame Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 Day 3, Makuuchi playlisthttps://vimeo.com/album/2771263 With thanks to araibira I could watch (and compare) the dohyoiris of both yokozunas a couple of times. And I have to say that I found the dohyoiri from Harumafuji now more dignified than that one from Hakuho, which looked more sloppy to me. 1

torquato Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 We were not very lucky with NHK/niji up untill now for this basho. Day 1: Paralympics Day 2: Parliament debate Day 3: niji fuck up Tomorrow (day 4) there will be a Parliament debate again. NHK Sumo broadcast is scheduled to start late at 5:05 p.m. JST. *sigh* But maybe on day 5 we'll get a chance to see a bit more of the regular programme. On Thursday Sumo transmission is announced to start early at 3:42 p.m. As a short remainder. NHK broadcasts a 25 minute Makuuchi recap everyday late after midnight sometimes between 1 to 3 a.m. Exact times change. Tonight it will start at 2:15 a.m. JST. @Araibira Seems that you are recording Mac system sounds/ beeps in your vids lately. Anyway, thanks a lot for going on whith your Sumo feed. BTW Vimeo gives better video quality for me and network is somehow quicker than YT. At least for me. Mhh.. 1
Akinomaki Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 (edited) An updated version of how to fool the NHK video hiding plus some info about the general use of Japanese Proxy.

Akinomaki Posted March 11, 2014 Posted March 11, 2014 I don't know yet what to make of this: http://japan.cnet.com/entertainment/35045074/ Apparently a free app for Android smart phones, maybe for dwango mobile users only, which allows you to watch real time all makuuchi torikumi, as a tanimachi member for 500 Yen a month you have a database of the bouts back 4 years ago to watch as much as you like. And several extras. 1

For iPhones it should start later. http://www.sumo.or.jp/kyokai/information?id=31 Edited March 12, 2014 by Akinomaki 3

In Germany it is unavailable too. It would be interesting if somebody in Japan at the moment could acquire the app and then try if it works outside of Japan, too. I don't use a smart phone, so I can't try it when I go there in May. And I also don't know if it is possible to fool the Google Play app store like NHK or YouTube and successfully pretend you are a smart phone user (registered?) in Japan. Edit: I forgot that it will be hard to find a mobile that works in both areas Edited March 12, 2014 by Akinomaki

Ponshun Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Many thanks, Kintamayama!! Our group, watching in Washington DC, is loving the basho thus far. 1

Any iPhone will work, and I assume newer Android phones as well.

specialweek 2 Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 Anyone notice that guy back near the locker room that kept trying to touch the wrestlers? He does have mental disabilities so the rikishi are aware and tolerate his attentions. 3
