    Yeah it said this:

    "You have successfully logged in to Fancast's streaming broadcast of LSU vs. Arkansas State. This broadcast will not begin until 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 11. At that time, please refresh this page and the broadcast should begin in the Fancast Player automatically. You may be prompted to login again."

    Same as what was previously posted.

    The other thing is, if you click on the help box for the issue concerning the LA/Ark residence thingy, it explains that it looks at the address of the credit card to determine that. So I don't expect any problems.

    SAHWEEEEET! Hopefully the quality is nice...shouldn't have bandwidth issues - RCN just upgraded us to 7mb down :hihi:

    Next question - Does anyone have a tool that can capture a windows media stream? :cool:

    I tested my laptop's s-video out port and it works great, so I will be viewing it on my 32 inch TV. I just hope the viewing screen on the streaming video is not too small. MLB is a little too small for my tastes. Hopefully you have an option to zoom to your choice.

    $14.95

    It will be worth it if it's real streaming video (supposedly it will be). And if I can get a decent sized viewing screen on my computer to display on my TV I will be happy about that. I'll let you know how it comes out.

    For those of you who will be watching the streaming video on FanCast, I suggest using the video option on Windows Media Player that allows you to zoom to 200 %. The default screen size is just too small for me, but the full screen zoom has too poor a resolution. So this is a happy medium.

    Does it tend to slow down the original broadcasting of the game? Usually if you try to run any other programs while you are playing streaming video it slows it down.
