Simon's position looks equal but I think Mickey will find a way to win.

Don't think we've had more than six boards since Wednesday or Thursday last week.

I've just tried the live commentary today and the sound quality is very poor.

Is anyone else experiencing poor sound?

I gave up on it last week. Several people had problems on Saturday so sounds like more of the same :(

The sound is terrible again today. They seem to have given up trying to fix it and Andrew is talking only for the benefit of those on site!

I've tried with a second ISP and PC and its just as poor.

The computer sounds seem fine but the sound from the microphone is dreadful.

Has David Clayton tried swapping microphones?

Maybe it is a USB mike with a PP9 battery?

I can hear that annoying click of Internet Exploiter looping!

Its either the mike or the cable or connection into the PC.

There are 145 viewers right now: are they all just watching and not listening?

when he started it was ok (you could understand andrew but not ravar(?)) The chat has been disabled because of 'abuse,'

poor quality sound and no chat, very poor-I'm beginning to lose patience, if it's not good tomorrow I'll give up with it-boring

I have a http://www.rodemic.com/mics/podcaster that I'd be happy to lend.

I'd be happy for it to be couriered to Sheffield.

This is a real shame.

The commentary from Andrew and Ravi is of high quality but no-one can hear it!

Yes, it is fine: what happened?

Someone needs to move the image of Andrew to the left and avoid obscuring the a1, a2 and a3.
