I admire the Destination Newry and Armagh GAA initiative. To see live games like that on the TV is a treat at this time of the year, especially for those who cannot make the games. Are there any other examples of live games being streamed on the net?
How are the Ulster Council taking this? I know there aren't that many who attend the games at this time of year but if this continues into the NFL I wonder will viewing rights (from HQ) etc come into play.
Is there anything to stop me streaming games?
It's the way forward. There was a meeting on Tuesday to try and ensure that all Sigerson games are streamed live this year. Sigerson games would have a large passing interest but poor attendance due to timing of games and no dedicated affiliation to colleges. People at work could tune in, click on a game and watch some of it live. If games are on at same time it is proposed that we have a sky sports style ex players watching games giving updates. Major sponsor ready to back it.
I think that TG4 will have the broadcasting rights to the NFL and individual counties will not be able to show their own games.
Which if true is a terible way to structure a contract because TG4 will only ever show D1 matches and the league finals. No reason the supporters shouldn't be allowed to see their own counties play just because they're not in the top tier.
We don't even need to get too fancy to start off, just the one fella with a camera and tripod. The GAA desperately need to develop an online live games/on-demand service on GAA. It would allow people all over the world see games for a reasonable price.
o neill is right
was working late and couldnt get down to the marshes or whatever it is called and was surprised with the quality of the streaming of the game
well done all
Destination newry also streamed a few club games in the armagh championship and i was pleaseantly surprised at the number of guys abroad who tuned in to watch my club
each to a man/woman felt all the happier seeing the club jersey and guys they know well and brought them back home for the duration of the games.
Significant difference between the quality of the DN streaming from the Armagh TV streaming for whatever reason

May be because DN are doing it for a living and more experienced. Armagh TV is all volunteers as far as I know and have only been going a short while.
posting links and a wee bit of advertising on here wouldn't go amiss whenever games are being streamed. would be greatly appreciated too.

For me, the Armagh stream last week worked much better than the DN one on Wednesday.
It could depend on what ISP they use and how it is routed.
Are those semis definitely on the Armagh channel?
No I don't think so. The Armagh forum moderator (who runs Armagh tv) suggested the final might be if its in the Athletic Grounds.
Ulster Council have vetoed the idea it seems.
http://armaghgaa.net/forum/threads/armagh-tv.2548/page-2
I wonder what the UC would do if they went ahead anyway.
Never give the athletic grounds another game again?
I guess its a mirror of the situation in October when DN were refused permission to stream the Armagh senior final
Methinks it's time to leave the 9% belgian beer alone
i thought this thread was about screaming at matches
took me far too long to cop on
oiche mhaith
It is a different circumstance to the DN situation. The Ulster council refused permission for Sunday`s games to be streamed.
I've no knowledge of the details but from a distance it looks the same? DN have streamed all of the earlier championship rounds in at.Agh then were refused permission to stream the final at the 11th hour?
Will any of the Club AI semi games be streamed on-line during February ?
Destination Newry did a fantastic job with their streaming, you would think someone at HQ would see the potential for more revenue and get DN or some company like them to provide this service.
To want the game to expand beyond the island there has to be more of an internet presence.
From a distance most thing look the same if you are far enough away. ;) The DN / Armagh situation was totally different. The ulster council were probaly thinking of the difficulties down the line with game contracts being awarded/sold by the powers that be in Dublin.2 years ago would anybody have envisaged a Co.Board or a small company being able to do such a thing?The internet is a wonderful yoke but the GAA have to look after their own interests,no matter what we think about it.
I would safely say the semi-finals will not be streamed,as permission has to be sought from headquarters,and will not be given.
In 2002 Armagh had a guy with them who produced their video work all year,he travelled in the team bus and recorded the trip down to Dublin and the build up to the match in the team hotel etc. When he got to Croke park he was not allowed tape the game. After the game he then recorded the rest of the week-end.
Both a question of permission from those that run the respective competitions?
Watched the Armagh Down game through DN streaming and couldn't believe the great quality, bar one or two blips. This and the Armagh tv are great initiatives - godsend for people living abroad.
The bottom line is revenue. Next Saturday nights final would possibly have a lower attendance if the game was streamed live. Would the ulster council like that? I dont think so.
DN is a profit making company, whereas Armagh tv is run by volunteers for the benifit of fans,not to make any money.

Teamtalk streaming the Tyrone games in the Dr McKenna Cup has been great for me, as I have been unable to attend any of the games and it looks unlikely I'll get to any of the National Football League games either. However, what Armagh are doing is fantastic. Streaming the video of the game too. It opens the games to so many more. I hope that this continues in other counties across Ireland.

Revenue runs everything, but if an enterprising person/company came up with a way to show the matches along with generating the revenue to cover the Ulster/HQ needs it would be a win/win for all involved. Think about all the people world wide who would be able to watch and enjoy.
Example say you charge 50 per person to watch a year of matches that could be tailored to inter county matches, club matches (specific county), all playoffs and championships. Now you throw in a base of 200,000 viewers (random number) at 50 per subscription you generate a total of 10,000,000. That does not include revenue for advertisement that the company could generate. Do a 70/30 split 7,000,000 to company and 3,000,000 to the GAA. Someone should be able to do this.
Netflix costs €7 a month
Lets say there was a GAA streaming site. €5 a month, €60 a year.
Where you could watch live games, maybe a choice of 2/3 inter county games every weekend.
Counties could opt to put their county finals streaming, but would charge extra for access.
And then a back catalogue of games from the last 10 years (eg provincial and all ireland finals)
I think that would be a runner.
Especially the streaming of games for people abroad.
A streaming site with a fee and discounts for GAA members, season ticket holders etc would be a good plan. It could have other benefits, say you were starting a club in Wisconsin or some other outlandish place, people viewing the games in those parts might make a good base to promote the project.
It would be great if the GAA could set up its own channel. Even the snippets of games that the likes of Jerome Quinn puts online are very welcome. If we had a channel showing highlights of club, college, uni, vocationa, minor, u21 games etc during the week with live inter county matches at the weekend it would a massive step forward - especially for those of us overseas.
Can't make the match today but how reliable are sites like these? Thanks for any help

How are they able to stream the game if it is not being covered live by any TV stations?
I reckon they are scam sites. IMHO anyway.

I agree.
For streaming of any sport you can't beat First Row. Especially if you use google chrome and AdBlock. Link for the Kildare game http://webfirstrow.eu/watch/196365/1/watch--gaa-football-national-league:-kildare-vs-tyrone-.html there is also a link for the Derry game, but I would wait to see if it is shown as it may be a mistake, sure we'll know at 5pm.

Can anyone help me here please
I connect my laptop to the TV through a HDMI lead for netflix, First row etc
It works great, with one exception - I get a smaller screen
i.e I have a 42" TV & only about 2/3 of it is being used. This is when I switch the TV to 'cinema' or 'widescreen' mode - at 'normal' that it was only using about half of it
What am I doing wrong that I don't get the full size screen?
