2/22/2006 1:46:34 PM

2/22/2006 1:48:56 PM

^^No, it means you have to go to a bar and watch it via satellite.

2/22/2006 1:57:09 PM

their cameramen are worse than FoxSports

2/22/2006 2:07:41 PM

awesome!!!

Thanks for the post!

2/22/2006 2:24:42 PM

I wonder what the chances are that this will actually work

2/22/2006 2:28:19 PM

their excuse on the no HD issue is that each different affiliate they send their broadcast would have to convert in the same manner, which they don't(IE: a fox affiliate converting the same as cbs). Which is the same reason syndicated shows aren't syndicated in HD.

how is there not a way to work with that? Plus, I think they borrowed their cameras from 1991.

Hopefully they find the game in the next hour.

2/22/2006 7:46:48 PM

this is the one and only occasion i have EVER wished i didnt live in california

2/22/2006 7:59:12 PM

about the HD issue.. how did all the networks broadcast the State of the Union in HD.. the conversion isn't that hard.. and I'm sure 1080i networks can switch over to 720p and/or 720p to 1080i.. then there's always transmitting it in 1080i and downconverting to 720p for Fox/ABC affiliates..

2/22/2006 8:32:21 PM

I was using FireFox, I switched to IE and it seems to be working now

IE has a specialized video panel while FireFox seemed to be using the default options for WindowsMedia Payer
