Report to NABO Delegates: Reno, July 2009
EITB has finally settled on using the Adobe Flash Player to
reproduce their TV programs on the internet. If you don't have the
Adobe Flashe Player installed in your computer, you can down load
the program from the following link:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer This link takes you to the
download page and should have the correct version for your operating
system selected to download and install it. If it is not correct,
select your operating system from the same page and follow the
instructions to install it.
When you select the link to watch Canal Vasco or ETB Sat, a small
window opens up with the image. To see the image in full screen,
click the button that appears below and left of the image. To exit
full screen, click the ESC key on the keyboard.
The links for the televisions and radios appear at the lower part of
the first page of EITB.com
www.eitb.com
You can find the programming guides for Canal Vasco and ETB Sat for
the current day and two more days in advance as follows: Click on
the Television tab, select either Canal Vasco or ETB Sat. In the
page that opens up, select the Programming, Programacion tab
depending on the language you are using. The times given on the
programming guides are Euskadi times and you have to figure the time
difference between your time zone and Euskadi. Keep in mind that ETB
Sat programming on the internet is what is being shown in Europe at
that moment via satellite. The majority of the pelota games are
shown live on ETB Sat. Some of the games are also shown on Canal
Vasco. Besides pelota games, there is a lot of interesting
information and news available on both channels. Also, don't forget
the five radio stations from
EITB.com, both in
Spanish or Euskera. The
EITB.com page shows a lot of video clips and news. To see Canal
Vasco and ETB Sat it is necessary to have a high speed internet
connection.
Since EITB made the change in March to use the Adobe Flash Player to
reproduce their programs on the web, they have had many problems. I
have made many phone calls and sent some e-mails to alert them of
the problems that I was seeing here, which many times they were
unaware of the problem. There are still some problems from time to
time. Sometimes the program locks up and it is necessary to stop and
restart again.
