I m watching Nile Tv International Channel live on the Net but they've shown nothing soo far.

[Marwan]

Brazil (didnt get the name, but same guy who had a bad blackout yesterday) shit black out again, he's alright though...i must say the safety preparartions are outstanding 2 search and rescue zodiacs 2 freedivers from the surface, oxyegen administration facility at the surface , ok brazilian is smiling he's ok

[Marwan]

andyse, nile tv and nile sports are 2 different channels, you wont see it on nile tv. if you have satellite check my earlier post for the frequesncy settings.. cheers ocean man glad to help

[AndySwe]

could it be Derick Arripol (BRA) ?

I know Nile TV and Nile Sports Channel are two diffrent channels.
But the official website states Nile TV aswell. I guess that info is incorrect then?

[Marwan]

i think organisation is really good, all the divers being interviewed are praising that, i also heard its the first time ever a frediving WC is broadcast live...they're on a 5 minute break..

[Marwan]

could be andy im not sure though..

Strange, seems to be in a direct contradiction of all we read from them here and on their websites. Hope it improved then. As for the live broadcasting - technically it is true, but practically of little interest if you can watch it just in Egypt

In reply to Marwan:
True but the broadcast is local not world wide.
Not everyone have sat-tellie , most ppl have cabel and wont be able to see Egyptian channels.
It's a step in the right direction but it's a WC for cry sake.

And I have to agree with trux , it's in direct contradiction to what I've been hearing when talking to me girlfriend , who is down there competing.

Thnx for the updates Marwan !

[Marwan]
