WorldCup 2010Soccer from Nauru writes: There is a lot of Thunders over central Europe,because of the heat,mountains and fronts passing over it.
The German TV took the signal from the Swiss National TV 6 minutes after the outage happened,contrary to the TV UEFA agreement,as 29.5 million of Germans watched and couldn't miss the second half.
Most Czechs fans watched during the outage the german channel.
Swiss TV was the only one with direct satellite link to the Stadium in Basel.
All the other feeds were to be distributed by UEFA TV and that's where the problem happened.- Posted 26/06/08 at 11:09 PM EST | Alert an Editor | Link to Comment
