wolfx Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) For the benefit of those who want to watch Macross Frontier every Friday at 25:25 Japan time (GMT +9:00) You can download Keyhole TV with the link below. Its a simple and free program that allows you to stream Japanese TV real time on your computer. Picture quality is pretty poor and so is the sound, so not sure how many of you would bother. http://www.v2p.jp/video/Viewer/ Another software is TVUNetworks Player which has better quality and audio. Unfortunately they only have TBS channel which plays Macross Frontier, 1 day after MBS If any member has a better software/portal/website that streams the MBS channel that Frontier will be airing on, do share here. Download version 3.06 and find the channel that Macross is on which can be a little tricky since its in Japanese. But with Japanese speakers on the board shouldn't be an issue. For real-time discussion and help to get on the correct TV channel, join IRC channel: #macrossworld@irc.rizon.net If you don't know how to use IRC, refer to this site: http://www.overclockersclub.com/guides/ircguide/ Rules: 1.) All real time discussions should take place only on IRC, not on this thread or the pinned episode thread (which should be closed) to reduce clutter of the forum. 2.) For help to setup the viewer and get to the right channel, login to IRC at least 25 minutes before airtime. During screening i doubt people are going to take their eyes off the screen to help you but if there are nice guys out there, they are free to do so. 3.) Be nice on IRC. 4.) Do not break the rules and spoil in the pinned episode threads. Edited May 22, 2008 by wolfx
ma2ha3 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 i watch the time on mbs website, but i dun understand the time. 0000hrs to 2359hrs military time is all i know. what is 25:25 hrs? is MBS a satellite tv? so, it will be harder to stream to computer. patience is a virtue.
ma2ha3 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 25:25 hrs means 01.25am on the next day. thanks, but which country other than japan uses it? also why the anime need to be shown so late? do they repeat it in the morning . the next day? how does japanese kid watch it ? so late.
Sulendil Ang Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 thanks, but which country other than japan uses it? Other than japan, I have never seen any country use such time format. also why the anime need to be shown so late? do they repeat it in the morning . the next day? Not too sure about these two questions... Maybe someone more knowledgeable can help you. how does japanese kid watch it ? so late. Simple: They don't. I really don't think Macross Frontier is suitable for small kids...
wolfx Posted May 21, 2008 Author Posted May 21, 2008 thanks, but which country other than japan uses it? also why the anime need to be shown so late? do they repeat it in the morning . the next day? how does japanese kid watch it ? so late. Only Japan i think. There are some repeats on other channels on different times. And its not for kids i guess. Anyway, the channel is up, #macrossworld@irc.rizon.net. I will grant OP access to any existing MWforum Mods if they request it. Just PM me your registered IRC Rizon nick. I only expect it to be used during the live broadcasts but if people wanna go in there, mingle, and whine about yamatos, discuss frontier animation, and debate what are the glowing protrusions, feel free to do so.
ma2ha3 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 why not for kids klein klan is a perfect rolemodel for kids. kids will love klein klan those crazy japs, trying to change time
azrael Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 also why the anime need to be shown so late? Because there's no other time for it among the more higher rated programming (dramas, news magazines, family-oriented programming). It's either in the morning or late night. The system is the same as most other countries. You want your best programming on to attract the most viewers. do they repeat it in the morning . the next day? Keyhole TV is based on who is running the feed, which depends on the broadcaster. Anime is usually aired and then repeated on other stations (hence why we use terminology like "MBS broadcast" and "TBS broadcast"). Not everyone in Japan watches shows at the exact same time on the exact same day (like people in remote areas). Normally, re-broadcasts are done within a few days of the original broadcast. MF airs on MBS and CNBC first, then TBS, TBC and SBS the following day and then other areas throughout the weekend.
Master Dex Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 So, no one here knows which one on the program is the channel that airs Macross Frontier? Because I being a non Japanese speaking person would like to know.
ma2ha3 Posted May 21, 2008 Posted May 21, 2008 you seem to know a lot which timing is the lastest showing in whole of japan? is it friday night 25:25
wolfx Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 So, no one here knows which one on the program is the channel that airs Macross Frontier? Because I being a non Japanese speaking person would like to know. I did it by chance last week by randomly clicking channels till i got it right. Will see if I can find an easier way of identifying the channel.
Master Dex Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 I did it by chance last week by randomly clicking channels till i got it right. Will see if I can find an easier way of identifying the channel. I would imagine if you found it you would have remembered which one it was .
ma2ha3 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 http://www.tbs.co.jp/tv/daily/20080523.html look at below 25:55 that was late showing for a cartoon, me say. that was easy to find. cause it is only program with an F, i dun really need to search high and low . even i dun know a single word of japanese. i also know that raw is out on friday night in GMT. So, it must be out between thursday and friday. On the fansubs. you see on the corner, what station is it. easy peasy.
ma2ha3 Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) i dun understand wolfx. are you going to stream it ? it is friday 19:30 hours in CET time, that is prime time. so, i can install the program tonight and watch live frontier tommorrow at 19:30 hours. i never use the program, do i need some passwords or codes??

whispo Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 Your welcome mate , now if only i had downloaded that damn program 2 hours ago ....
azrael Posted May 22, 2008 Posted May 22, 2008 question? can I watch the Takarazuka Sky Stage channel with this program? If you know which station it is on and if there is a feed being put out, yes, yes you can.
wolfx Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 (edited) ANyone know the channel name of MBS on keyholeTV? I can nly see MBS radio Apparently its the one between TBS Radio and Swiss TV. But 4chan says its another one which i think they are just trying to be funny. Anyway 4chan forum...somewhat realtime discussion for ep 8. http://zip.4chan.org/m/res/1585399.html Edited May 22, 2008 by wolfx
wolfx Posted May 22, 2008 Author Posted May 22, 2008 Its the channel 4chan recommended, below ABC Radio 1008. Enjoy guys.
lord_breetai Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 If you know which station it is on and if there is a feed being put out, yes, yes you can. It is it's own cable station http://www.skystage.net/ but apparantly there is no stream for it... sigh, not surprising but disappointing.
azrael Posted May 24, 2008 Posted May 24, 2008 It is it's own cable station http://www.skystage.net/ but apparantly there is no stream for it... sigh, not surprising but disappointing. Most of the TV stations I've seen listed on KeyHole and TVU are general broadcast stations so it's not surprising that you won't see a cable network.
ma2ha3 Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 thanks i finally got to try it out this is good stuff i did not know it even existed poo i was late because i run mac if only the software is available on mac i have to run vmware to run xp in mac to run the software to see it good stuff , cheers.
Proto Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 Awesome! Now I can watch Ntv, Fuji, Asahi and MBS. Plus all those cool commericals
Morpheus Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Ok, who will watch epi.10 live tonight (either by TV or keyholeTV)? Apparently I got some extra job to do at my lab and are forced to spend the night here tonight so I'm gonna watch it from my battered laptop while working on my presentation .
wolfx Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) I'm there tonight. But again i can't find the channel. Gah! According to 4channers....the channel isn't appearing....OH NOESS http://zip.4chan.org/m/res/1648914.html#q1648914 Edited June 5, 2008 by wolfx
