Clarkson audio is free and clean.

[philly mike]

The audio is fine, it's the video that blows

[billhoward]

The audio part of the feed runs about 5 seconds late. It's like it's own instant replay.

[RICH]

I was an XMI virgin until tonight...

[rich]

XMI is really bad.
I would rather use logitech webcam and IBM laptop, and broadcast over internet for free.

i'm only getting 48K.  glad I got the cable modem  :-(

[philly mike]

I just went from 56k to 369k

[philly mike]

I got an email saying they reset the encoders, so hopefully things would work better.

...and they did for me.

Audio isn't off more than usual here. Just the glitch from splitting in the radio broadcast that is run completely differently.

My video feed is almost flawless. It just glitched a couple minutes ago when it lost the feed. I just had to press play and it went from 323 to 359.

I know it makes a big difference on my feed if i'm running wireless vs wired, any of you with issues could it be that?

I was having more issues loading up elynah than the webcast. Took 5 minutes to load up one message page.

During the first intermission, XMI restarted the encoder with slightly different settings.  The new settings improved my feed from 56 to 369 Kbps.
