Poor Live Coverage Of Races

By Dr.bashaar | 06-Jan-2019

Since last few weeks I have been witnessing poor live coverage of races of Hyderabad and Delhi races.

Earlier when live coverage was started Hydraces coverage was easily the best ( compared to Bangalore/ Mumbai ). It is surely to be appreciated that both these centers ( and also Mysore and Chennai ) are still continuing to telecast free of charges.

Most of the times ( now a days ) the coverage gets struck with only a rounding black circle ... if arefresh is attempted ( after several minutes ) it will start again only to get struck again after a few minutes.

Have anyone else noticed such faulty coverage or its only me who is experiencing this.

Surely there is no internet problem at my end ( and also the coverage of other centers is quite good without any problem.

If many punters are experiencing a similar problem, can I request the admin or Mr.Veda to do  the needful and enable us to watch live races like before ?

Mr.JP,

          Thanks for your advice. I have tried this also. This mirror viewing is marginally better - but the problem still continues with this too. I fully agree with you that this is a problem of server at HRC end - I am unable to understand one thing- is Hyd racing watching more interesting for punters than Bangalore/ Mumbai ? ( May be these 2 centers have servers which can take more load - and coverage is fairly uninterrupted ) surprisingly the next day after I send this post the coverage was   good !!! ( May be because it was Monday ) ( But the disturbance earlier used to be on Monday too- not only on sundays )

         What about DRC races ? - Now a days it is totally horrible - Are so many people watching DRC races that this is because of the load on server ??

       Couple of years back when I had met Mr.Zeyn Mirza and had talked about the issue of charging for live coverage of horse racing in India - I had specifically mentioned to him - Nobody should expect anything free in this world - surely - if you want to enjoy watching - pay for it and enjoy-there is nothing wrong in racing clubs charging for their live coverage.( Many punters may differ from my views - some may claim that if turf clubs want to make the sports more popular they should give free live coverage ). Mr.Zeyn Mirza certainly agreed with my views - he was of the opinion that instead of each club having their own exobitant tariffs -  if an understanding is reached among all the turf clubs in India collectively they can charge- ( lumpsum  that can be divided among the clubs later ) and make it as a total package which can be offered at an affordable price ... or ...second option like how cricket matches are telecast ..invite sponsors ..and revenue can be collected through adds inwhich case coerage could be given free. Certainly good ideas. But........who will take the initiative ?

I feel it is the server problem since the load will be more at race time. The club should rectify this. Alternatively try this and it is connected immediately.

The same problem at my end also. I pay Rs. 300/- for watching Live Races at Bangalore and end up watching archieves. Frustrating.

Yes ,Iam also not properly getting display of Hyderabad races for the past few month.My internet connection is perfectly alright.The problem is due to Hyderabad race course server..Let concerned person look into it.
