Hi -- Its kind of a pain to click around the Time Warner website to find the link to the webcast, so save yourself some time and use this link instead:

And how refreshing, the stream is already up and running. It's just a simple graphic and cheesy guitar rock in the background, but that's better than nothing.

If anyone has comments on the camera work...my Dad is the main cameraman.  I could probably drop him a quick email/cell phone call in the middle of the game if anyone has suggestions for improvement.

Yes! If we still dont have a goal after the 1st period, ask him to drop his camera, grab a stick and some skates. We need some offense!

GO BIG RED!

Um, am I the only one getting "the host is unreachable" or other various errors?

Did we max out their connections already?  ::twitch::

Try this address from JasonL's post. This worked like a charm for me in Internet explorer on  PC.

Yes, and I'm not willing to disconnect to find out :-P

Maybe Jason L's link is full and they have opened up another server? Try to click on the original link in the thread.

In the meantime, a pre-game show tonight on some-access. Yup, audio is up and a full 20 minutes before the drop of the puck.

Is anyone getting anything more than the spinning puck, Union and Cornell logos and the same repetitive music that's making me crazy?   ::nut::

LGR!!!!!

Video up, and high quality so far.

I can't even watch this @$%&.  The video stops every 15 seconds while it has to rebuffer.  Using Verizon DSL in NYC.

yep...the feed uses too much BW probably...you need at least a 1.5mbit connection to view this.  the quality isnt even that good for the stream size....they could of got the same quality with 300kbit or so.

For once I haven't had a problem with the feed.. yet.

Wider camera angles when the puck is in the O zone please ;-)

Has anyone gotten it to work on OSX??? Or is it hopeless?

I'm getting a lot of rebuffering as well, and it occasionally crashes Media Player.

Word from the cameraman is that the buffering taking place every 20 seconds is just too many people logged on that their servers can't quite handle the load.  Guess this is a popular game????

That was predictable :-)

I've switched to audio, couldn't deal with the buffering.

I tried that, but cant get the audio to lead.  So I'll take skippy video over no audio. :-P

just wanted to say the game looked really good on tv.  i watched the 1st period on the feed before heading to dinos to watch it/eat dinner w/ a friend.  good job...I really liked the instant replays, and the different camera views for the replays (some of the angles kind were not that useful during game play....like the ones in the corners when they're trying to free the puck...so all you see are their faces and them pushing each other :) )
