Hi.
I have watched all the quarter finals and the Semi between Shabana and Palmer. The matches to watch are Matthew – Gaultier and Shabana – Palmer.

Oh yes Matthew v Gaultier was brilliant - can we have more tournaments in HK - the time zone thing was great to watch the matches nice and early - feels strange to wake up though and switch the PC on and see a major final taking place live.

There is a recommended replays section somewhere (but I found it by accident a few months ago) - it had the canary wharf and TOC matches at the top of the list and they were the best squash matches I have even seen. Might be worth trying to find that section again to get the best matches.

let me know if you cannot find it and I'll have a look around

How was the sound and camera angles Marko, the last couple I have downloaded were not great especially the sound, fades out, booms back, fades out......etc

They really need to put up a 10sec grab of the matches so we can see the quality before we purchase I believe.

I've not noticed any probs on sound at all although I had to fade out Edwards for the Saudi Final and just watch the match with court sounds - strange to watch without commentary.

The DivX are fantastic as usual and I noticed that they are offering to send DVDs out with DivX matches on - as my downloads sometimes fails, this might be useful.

I've taken up the later stages package for the past 2 events and its been brilliant - I hope they do it for bermuda also.

A 10 second clip is a good idea I agree.

Watched the Gaultier v matthew game and whilst it was very watchable again the quality was quite inconsistant, and inconsistant in things that would not be caused by a great cost I reckon, ie sound was not great, poor commentating/no real commentating, sloppy editing > camera shake and flickering between the rare times a second/front camera was use, limited replays.
Added to that there is a real sense of disclocation for the viewer one seems to watching the match from a distance in an empty factory somewhere.

Having said that price obviously dictates some of these factors and I am pleased to get access to these great matches.
