Dear (Enemy Territory) Community,
a few times already somebody tried to start an ettv-on-demand service but failed for several reasons after a while. We believe this is a great service for the community so we decided to give it a try. Like with normal tv servers we don't buy our own hardware to manage but rather offer a platform for everybody with resources to spare to add their servers and broadcast matches.
Our on-demand system works the same way: Everybody who's interested can take part, therefore we're confident that we can offer a big selection of replays with enough resources to cover the demand.
We start with a few participants who are kind enough to offer their hardware (thanks to Anaconda, h3ll, Skydriver and Oldman) and hope to grow the number of available matches and servers when more server admins join in.
For you this means that you can choose to replay any of the available matches at any time by following the "Watch this Match now" link in matches where available. You will get your private server which will play the selected match offering 6 slots for you and your friends.
For now, this service is only available for Enemy Territory Matches.
Currently we're offering 833 different Matches played on up to 18 small replayers. The number of matches will grow continuously when new matches are broadcasted every day.
Your GamesTV.org Crew
Update: 1001 Matches available on up to 20 replayers
Update 2: Due to popular demand I adjusted the list view of the calendar so you can see instantly which events are available for replaying and even jump to the demand page direcly.
Update 3: andyF1 jumped in so now we have almost 1.500 Matches on almost 30 replayers

the next improvement would be a demosorting system in your archive
there are about 100 sites with matches broadcasted on gtv but not even the half have a on demand function, and i cant figure out how to find them...
it would be interesting to find the replays sorted by the tournament and the date played :>
:> nvm
Awesome job guys.
I am willing to give head to the person uploading vio_grail_b3.pk3 to a random ETTVod server so I can watch TLR - polar on the map showmatch again :D

280 19.03.07, 21:07 (2) Crossfire Mapcontest: polar eSports vs The Last Resort 3, die? :P
GG GTV
Great feature btw

could someone explain for some lowbrainers like meh?:
find a team beta match on gtv, click on watch this now or download the demos, you need to host your own ettv if you want to match the demos on your own pc tho
