Just in case there are any other readers of this board in southwest Virginia, I'll be at Big Al's sports bar in Blacksburg tomorrow for the game.  They seem to be the only show in town with CSTV and were great about putting last year's playoff games on for us.  Last year I ran into Tony Eisenhut watching a game there, so you never know...

Let's Go RED!

Section 300, Row 4, Seats 13 and 14!!!!!  (as long as they actually arrive in the mail!)

Research has been keeping me from migrating north to catch a game in person this year, but there's no way I could let this one slip by!

How I'm going to function normally until the 10th, I don't know...

Yeah, but this is gonna be the year!  You heard it here!

A K-S - I was having a problem where the buffer was stuck at 0%.  Through the media player help, I found the following procedure, which worked for me.  I hope it helps:

 Player hangs at "Buffering 0:00"

We've found that some transport methods for the streams work better than others in certain conditions.

We suggest that you follow the directions below to specify the HTTP and TCP transport methods in your Windows Media Player. This seems to be the best method for transporting the streams you want to connect to. Please follow these directions very carefully so you don't inadvertently change a setting that will affect the usefulness of your player. This change will not affect the performance of any other media that you want to play, so once the change is complete, you do not need to adjust it again. To change the transport method in Windows Media Player:

1. Launch C:\\Program Files\\Windows Media Player\\mplayer2.exe (you need to edit this version of the player no matter which version you use for other streaming.)

2. Click the word 'View' in the top toolbar of the player.

3. Click the word 'Options' from the drop-down menu.

4. Click the 'Advanced' tab in the Options window.

5. Highlight the choice 'Streaming Media (Windows Media)'. This choice is most likely already highlighted.

6. Click the change button.

7. In the protocols window you want to make sure that ONLY the HTTP and TCP boxes are selected. Deselect the others if they are selected and do not change the Proxy settings.

8. Click the 'Apply' button at the bottom of the Window.

9. Click 'OK' in that Window to close it, and then click 'OK' again in the Options window to close that too.

10. The change in transport types is now complete.
