We're really getting our money's worth today: the same identical content on four BBC services simultaneously (all bloody day - and no doubt BBC FOUR will join in at 7).

The forum software that supports hummy.tv has been upgraded to XenForo 2.3!
Please bear with us as we continue to tweak things, and feel free to post any questions, issues or suggestions in the upgrade thread.

The iPlayer home page says they've suspended all programming, presumably as a display of respect. I might just about understand that if it had been the monarch. Sh*t. Just as well I have a backlog of recordings (yes, still).
I'm currently trying to get the golf highlights up on iPlayer - that's not going too well either.

Resorted to qtube, which has decided to pull the HiDef stream, so (on my broadband) that's going slower than real time...

I tend to have this, and comment out the ones that are not std def because it takes too long to download

Yes, I was restricting the height the same way but wanted to grab something in HiDef and forgot to put it back! I like the idea of comment switches.

Watching it now. Little coverage of Bryson DeChambeau, who was full of himself before the event how his long drives would conquer all... by which I assume he didn't. No point having a huge drive if you can't hit it in the right direction!
Edit: 4 over par after first round.

A bonus, for me at least, is that the radio has been worth listening to. Instead of the mindless pap coming from the likes of BBC R2 ( usually a former R1 clone), they have been playing some decent stuff.
My wife read somewhere that the head of radio stated programmes would generally be aimed at the younger listener, therefore losing a fair proportion of the generations brought up enjoying a variety of genres.

ClassicFM went so sombre I had to turn it off.
From Reddit:
For "half a day" read 12 hours (ie 12.10pm to midnight), so it would have been more if death had been announced earlier in the day. I make 12 hours three-quarters of a waking day (the bit that matters), not half.

No point in hitting it in the right direction if hitting onto a dome of glass. As is so often the case the course is turning the tournament into a lottery. Of course, by the laws of probability there will be a few of the best players in the world getting enough of the rub of the green to put them in the hunt come Sunday afternoon.

If DeChambeau were getting anywhere near the "dome of glass", I wouldn't be so critical. All the putting was off yesterday. At least Rose is still in the hunt (par 72 has been his worst of three rounds).
They’d have received one more if the ruddy dedicated page hadn’t vanished!

There seems to be no separation of complaints about the actual coverage (which was fine for a nationally significant event) and the simple fact they need not have turned over all their channels to it. There is an opinion abroad that complaining about the blanket coverage is tantamount to complaining about the coverage per se. Woke!
I've heard BBC FOUR was off air in the evening – I didn't know that, I had seen from the EPG it was being turned over to the same as ONE, TWO, and NEWS. BBC Parliament was also on the EPG as the same output, I don't know what actually happened.
