Bigpond AFL video problem

Seeing as how it's getting close to the season, and since Telstra finally upgraded my local exchange so now I've also got Bigpond 1500/256 ADSL, I thought I'd review a few Melbourne games from 2006 at afl.com.au to hype myself up for Season 2007.

I went to the Video page, searched the 2006 list, picked "Final Series Week 1", chose "4th quarter" from the drop down box and clicked play. The media player screen came up, I logged in using my Bigpond user name (the video download doesn't add to your user allowance) and waited for the video to start. But what started was the first quarter, not the 4th. The url even showed "... ?quarters=4" at the end.

When I went to view the 3rd quarter, the same thing happened. When I went to other games, they all started the first quarter, regardless of what quarter I picked.

Could someone try it and tell me whether they get the same result? Is there another avenue into the same video that might work? If others get the same result, I'll contact Bigpond and try to sort out the problem.

BTW, the replay in a small window on my 1600 x 1200 monitor isn't bad. Quite acceptable quality and a good video resource.

    OK, seems the problem is a "known issue" and it's going through the boffins to higher and higher levels to fix.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
