BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Watching the game on BT hd the quality if the pictures is bad looks like fog, but in fact is rain on the camera lens.:(

Bet i'll be called out for this tomorrow.....

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

It was appalling. Unless VM and BT can improve the quality of LUFCs 'football' soon then they can stuff their subscription.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Could be worse Mr K, if you venture up the A64!!

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Sadly, l tried to call BT - N/A. so l tweeted them. No answer.

The Cameras on the gantry were appalling. Lower cameras was fine.

What it was caused by the rain. And the Director should have picked this up and rectified it.

If you noticed - and l am certain you did. Every time a player went over the rain spot, the player was magnified.

Its the directors fault. Not the camera.

And if you also noticed, the wind caught ne of the gantry cameras, and it was shaking.

BT;s coverage was appalling. It would not have happened with Sky cameras.

All the fun of TV coverage from small football clubs that were never designed for it. You get plenty of the previously mentioned problems with Golf coverage in inclement weather. Thats half the fun of watching it.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Um, its the weathers fault.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

What did it have to do with VM ?

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

He could always go to America.;)

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

It was the weather, NOTHING the director could have done.

also the shaking happens often even on Sky sports, especially when the gantry/cameras are high up.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

I'm assuming it was meant to be tongue in cheek.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

What planet are you two on?

Neither VM nor BT can do anything about it. It is what it is, BT only pay for the right to show the games, they have nothing else to do with it.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Oh dear, maybe you should stick to Current Affairs old chap ... :D

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Maybe the "director" is expected to constantly wander round (in the rain) and wipe the lenses? :D

But yeah as previously mentioned, see things like this a lot in smaller grounds.

Especially if the home team score and the camera starts shaking like crazy

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Why just because you don't agree and can't put forward your point?

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

My point is you don't have a sense of humour and haven't read my original post.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Well just to clear up a point. It was raining, and the camera was getting misted up. The Director can see that in the control room.

The director could have said to the cameraman - got any tissue to clean the lens. The Cameras have covers and therefore the heat from the camera has caused the lens to mist up.
As the cameras on the ground wasn't effected.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

or he could have told LUFC to put their First Team on the pitch and make a game of it....

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

I think you might just find the cameraman was well aware of the issue, and not able to do much about it.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

The cameraman would have noticed it but wouldn't have been able to do anything about it.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Spot on....:)

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Lets hope the weather is better for the next round, I'm sure they'll be on TV again

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Perhaps they can prepare better and give the poor cameraman a bit of shelter.

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Hope not. Part of the fun of the FA cup is seeing a ground with a usual attendance of 50, trying to cope with 1000s and the TV commentators shivering in a garden shed hurriedly plonked on someones roof. Cameramen precariously hanging off a dodgy crane, just trying to survive... Happened to my local team a few years ago, happy days. The professional team wouldn't even get changed at the ground, they changed at their hotel rather than suffer a non-league dressing room...

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Could always send you out there with some rags :D

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

I don't think you can use a rag on a expensive camera lens

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Tissue I suitable for camera lens. And BT still haven't replied to my email. Typical ***** Tv Company

Re: BT coverage of the Sutton v Leeds FA cup
 

Actually they are quite good at responding to me, i find a bit of politeness goes a long way.
Only one **** tv company here and it aint BT or SKY or VM.
