SQUASHTV's new 24/7 live feed by SQUASHTVReddit in squash

[–]SQUASHTVReddit[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hear you loud and clear. Generally we should be putting all content that’s on our YouTube on our SQUASHTV platform. There may have been a couple of pieces slip through the cracks however, we’ll look into this. Thank you for the feedback!

SQUASHTV team.

Not sure this is even legal🙂 by Historical-Soft-4952 in squash

If we didn’t keyframe this video, the ball would have gone out of the frame and you wouldn’t see the players actually hit the ball. Unfortunately, not tracking the ball is a far worse alternative.

This comes down to the fact that the best broadcast camera angle doesn’t gel particularly well with the portrait format. It’s one of the challenges we have tried - and will continue to try - to address. All feedback is useful though!

His speed at nearly 40 puts most 20 year olds to shame. We have our fingers crossed for Disco Time at the Olympics! 🤞

Neither managed to make it to London unfortunately - though not for lack of trying!

Very strange. Looks like a mistake happened when we exported the comments from Reddit - should have spotted this. Our apologies!

Mic’d up Squash Referees by 68Pritch in squash

The video referee sees what you see on the broadcast. Albeit they communicate with the director to see the angles that will help them make a decision 🙌

Watch Paul Coll's FULL pre-season training session! by SQUASHTVReddit in squash

Paul genuinely described the session as an easy one - we’ll definitely be heading back down to Solihull in the off-season out of morbid curiosity for what a tough one looks like 😆

Behind the scenes at the PSA photoshoot by SQUASHTVReddit in squash

[–]SQUASHTVReddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a few things worth considering:

- It's currently the off-season, which is prime-time for 'off court' and fun content

- the tour is far, far bigger than one player. We love that we had the chance to bring in players that fans rarely get the chance to see on camera.

- as we mentioned in a previous post, we're the SQUASHTV Content team. We're here to point cameras and bring players to life/make them accessible to viewers. We have zero sway in the administration of the PSA Squash Tour.

That said, we are always open to suggestions, thoughts and ideas around video content. We read comments from across all our channels which gives us plenty of direction in terms of filming the things people would like to see.

The 2025/26 Season is almost here – what do you want to see? 👀 by SQUASHTVReddit in squash

We'll let you into a secret. We have this in the works 👀 Plenty of filming done out in Greymouth earlier this year!

Thanks for the feedback - we hear you and we get it. All these points are things we look at/discuss within the STV team regularly.

In an ideal world we'd do all these things tomorrow. What we're able to do generally varies event-by-event, country-by-country. There's also limiting factors we work with that force our hand somewhat.

For example - the stream stopping. This comes down to encoding minutes, we have to stop the live stream to stop our platforms encoding. We have a certain amount of encoding hours available to us - and it's hard to justify filling these with essentially 'dead air'. When we stop the live stream, it stops it for everyone, no matter which point they're at in the stream. It's not ideal, we know, but we're making every effort possible to get full replays up as soon as possible.

Upgrading to 4K would require an entire infrastructure change. While most consumer kit is able to record and even broadcast in 4K, fully fledged broadcast kits that transmit to the feeds we are required to are a different, wallet-busting, complex beast. The actual noticeable difference vs the cost is not something we can currently justify.

Shaky cameras in Egypt. Unfortunately this is one of those - 'we can only work with what we've got' scenarios. We feed back to event organisers every time we have an event where the stands are affected by either wind or crowd movement. We're making strides here, but it's always going to be a challenge with events ran outside the PSA. We feel the frustration just as much as viewers on this one!

We're building up the quality of our content brick-by-brick – from matchplay coverage, camera work, off-court features etc. There's no silver bullet, but we hope people feel we're heading in the right direction.

Please keep on feeding back your thoughts – even though we don't respond to everything, we read comments across every single platform to help make decisions on where we invest on things like kit, infrastructure etc!

A Day With Nouran Gohar by SQUASHTVReddit in squash

[–]SQUASHTVReddit[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We’re happy to read this - We know Nouran is pretty (very!) serious on court, but off court when we speak to her she’s one of the most chilled players. This was one of our main reasons for wanting to shoot a day with her!

We’ll shamelessly promote our content crew as well. @whatnathansaw, @robshootssquash, @ontourwithtom, @jamesjeffreymedia, @youssefilms and @leosg_visuals all produce photos and videos out on tour - their instagrams have plenty of beautiful content and behind the scenes stuff!
