I wonder if I can get a volunteer outside Denmark, to try and create a (free) account on DR1 and then try and log in, to see the live feed from DR1.
Here you create your account: https://www.dr.dk/login/account/create?returnPath=/tv/live/dr1

Four fields to fill out:
First and last name.
E-mail.
password.
Repeat password.

And once you have created your account, try log in to see the live feed here: https://www.dr.dk/tv/live/dr1

I know, it's totally idiotic! DR1 is a public service channel, so I simply cannot understand why they choose to block it.
 
I forgot I'd already created an account for DRTV so I had to find my password. However it still hasn't let me see this live programme. I'm hoping that when it goes to the balcony programme it will. this is the first time EVER that I haven't been able to see a live broadcast on DR TV of a Royal famil event so I'm really diappointed at the moment. Billed Bladet will be reportig live (I think) so will go and see what they are up to. If anyone else has any joy let me know. :bang:

It's most annoying!!

In fact I've written to DR1 and complained, but don't hold your breath... :whistling:

Now for something slightly dramatic.
QMII lives at Fredensborg these days, but she is stuck, because there has been a traffic accident. Right now they are trying to get her through via police escort, but she may not be able to make it in time for the balcony scene.
 
I can't get it to work either. I have created an account and set my VPN-Client-Addon on Sweden (Denmark isn't available, but Sweden worked with the Frederik documentary so I would have thougt they allowed it this time too). But it still states that "the media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported". So weird. I can watch the other videos - but they are not live, so maybe it's really more a technical problem? When they geo-block they usually they so.
 
Thanks for this link Muhler :flowers:
Glad QMII can make it. I wonder what she is thinking today? She nearly died giving birth 50 years ago and also having lost her husband not so long ago. But she must be so proud of her eldest son after this week ?
 
Both DR and TV2 have changed their rules, and therefore one are not longer able to watch the live feeds from an foreign ip address, even when you have a subscription (this was something I found out now).

--------------------

But try to watch it here, on NRK (the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation): NRK live

Their broadcast starts at 11:50 (in about 5 minutes) - please let me know if it works.
 
------------------------------------ Best live feed, from NRK ------------------------

https://www.nrk.no/video/PS*5c6e8454-fc56-4dee-822d-63db0468aeb5

-----------------

BB are sending live as well, see earlier post.

-----------------

:previous:

Thank Royal Noway, your link works. - Please bump up the link. :flowers:

The NRK feed is identical to the DR1 feed, so the the quality is in top.

Good! The NRK coverage is basically the DR coverage without commentary.

it works! Thank you so much! And thank you Norway :flowers:;)
The German networks also geo-block drastically, I believe. I think we really need Europeanwide broadasting rights. We shall feel European but can't watch each others broadcastings... Pretty ironic that I can watch a Norwegian broadcast but not a Danish one:ROFLMAO:

works brilliantly, thank you!:flowers:
But that means us poor people abroad won´t be able to watch the banquet tonight... I presume NRK will not bring this, too?!

Apart from the greeks, have already the other foreign Royals been arriving in Copenhagen? Normally they stand on the smaller balconies of Amalienborg during the balcony appearance of the DRF and I haven´t spotted them so far.

Thank you sooo much and it was so nice not to have the commentary ;)

That was such a lovely, happy event and you could tell that Prince Frederik was really touched by the love shown. And I have to say, Copenhagen was looking particularly lovely today especially with the sun shining on the water with the overhead shots ?
 
I guess we have to rely on NRK for the rest of the comprehensive coverage.
It's IMO pretty embarrassing for the Danish public service networks!

The party continues in six hours from now.

There will be videos uploaded on TV2, whenever the are ready.

More details about the new book will be posted when they are ready.

And the big show starts around 18.00.
We will see the guests arriving and around 19.30 the carriage with M&F will leave Amalienborg, where they will probably arrive around 19.45 or so.
There is a rel risk of heavy rain just around the time M&F leaves Amalienborg, so a closed carriage is on stand-by.

So to sum up: NRK for the carriage ride and royal guests arriving.

-----------------------------------------------------

The BB link for covering the guests arriving. Dresses and gowns is after all something BB covers a lot.

Yes, thats what I meant - it's really absurd.
But it's not a Danish problem, there are so many public European broadcastings that you can not watch in other EU-countries. I am sure that there are good reasons for every case, but it's not easy to unterstand for the normal viewer and should change IMO. But maybe that'sa bit off topic.

Geoblocking will be lifted by 2019 I believe. Like the EU has forbidden roaming costs for tourists using their mobiles in other EU-countries. So improvements are on the way.

So in the near future we will have the chance to see royal events in Norway, Denmark, Netherlands etc without geoblocks.

Ah, that's great news, thank you:flowers: I read about it, but forgot it right away obviously...
But I'm not sure about it's effect on broadcasting. From your link:
"Copyrighted content, audiovisual services and transport services are exempt from the Geo-blocking Regulation,...":sad:

We will have to wait and see I guess.
 
A 20 minutes video summary of the balcony appearances from BB: https://www.billedbladet.dk/kongelige/danmark/video-kronprins-frederik-hyldet-paa-amalienborg
People sang the children's birthday song just prior to the family appearing on the balcony for the first time and when the family was on the balcony for the second time. Then people sang the national anthem.
The royal anthem was played during their first appearance.

BB will send live from the guests arriving.

NRK2 will show the whole DR1 broadcast (with Danish commentary) from 18:50 to 22:30, but they couldn't answer me (by phone) whether they will provide a live link, who works outside Norway.

What do I think? Well, they always does it for Norwegian royal events, but that's a completely different thing, since they produce it themselves.
But they did it for the balcony appearance (earlier today), they did it for the royal wedding last week, and they've done it for previous British, Danish and Swedish royal events, so hopefully they'll do it this time too.
One can also watch it on NRK's ordinary live links, but then you have to be in Norway.

Here is the entire balcony appearance from NRK (the DR broadcast without Danish commentary, that was due to an error BTW): Kronprins Frederik hilser folket fra balkongen på Amalienborg slott - NRK

Fairly certain I spotted multiple Greek family members in the windows of Christian VIII's Palace – including Queen Anne Marie. Was difficult for me to see though as I was standing in the other end of the courtyard.

Please tell us about the mood and if there were other details you noticed. ?

Mood was great. There were so many people. It's a shame they block off almost 1/4 of the courtyard for the Life Guards because I'm fairly certain the entire courtyard would've been filled quite easily. People were happy and sang and cheered. Predominantly Danish and Greenlandic flags but I spotted Norwegian and Swedish flags as well :D The view of the royals is never that great from the courtyard (even if you've secured a place up front, they're still quite far away – but then, that's also not why I go, I can see them up close in pictures and videos when I get home) but from where I stood, Frederik seemed very overwhelmed by the sight and both Mary and QMII looked very proud.

To my side, someone were carrying a signs. On the back, it said "Frederik 4 Prez" and that was all I could see so I didn't think too much of it but then at some point near the end, they turned the sign around and on the side facing the balcony it said "Abolish the monarchy". When people around the sign realised what it said, they started booing and just a few moments later, someone pulled the sign down – that received a fairly large applause (don't know if it was a good idea to decide to protest the royal family amongst thousands of people who've taken time out of their Saturday to go celebrate said royal family) ?
 
Princess Maria Olympia and Prince Constantin Alexios of Greece looking outside from the palace today.

Looks like a gorgeous sunny day for the event and a happy family occasion !

Frederik always has looked so young for his age!
