jess Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Hi there - if you struggle with slow speed rural internet like I do - you might find replaying races via nzracing pretty tedious - frequent stops, buffering etc. Well - this is life for me, at least. But - if I go to trackside.co.nz instead & play the races from there - boom! - plays right through smoothly. Just posting in case other BOAYarners experience the same & haven't discovered this. Kind regards, Jess 1 Quote

Kind regards, Jess Yep we've talked about this before. One site streams in HD the other in SD or less and requires less bandwidth. The TABNZ app is the same in terms of required bandwidth for videos. They don't have the technology to recognise your bandwidth and adjust accordingly. Annoys the shyte out of me. I don't need to see the welts on a horses butt just who is winning! Quote
jess Posted 4 hours ago Author Posted 4 hours ago Ah ok - sorry Chief - obviously I am late to the conversation - just pleased to be able to watch replays either on computer/phone or cast to TV - without 7-8 "freezes" along the way ... Cheers, J. Quote

Cheers, J. I know the feeling Jess. Watching races on the TAB site and app is a pain in the arse. Quote

Cheers, J. No need to apologise. But if I have low bandwidth which is quite often of you are moving around in NZ the NZ Racing connection or even Trackside on GoSky are better options. The other benefit is that you don't have the video on the TABNZ app reducing the number of horse details and odds that you can see. So you can then bounce between the app for the odds and the video on a browser. 2 Quote
