Road Bike Racing - OLN broadcast?

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the
OLN broadcast? It worked for stages 3 and 4
but thats it.

The live one on the internet? I am listening to it right now, what are you playing it through? Windows Media player? What Version?[COLOR=blue]

I just clicked on listen live, just to check version
of Media Player, and guess what? I get to hear
Phil and Paul describe Zabel limp in (stage way over).
My version of Media Player is 9.0
what I get is a recording "the program you are
trying to view is not available, please try later".
I tried repeatedly yesterday to no avail.
My wife has been phoning me giving me blow by blow
description, she is good, but something gets lost
in the translation :D

My guess is that the servers are overloaded... It takes quite a server to offer a few thousand streams.

I've been able to listen to the live internet feed yesterday and today (exhausting stage just to listen to... I was mentally pushing O'Grady the last 20 km). Are you able to listen to the archived broadcasts?
I'm using MP ver 9.00.00.2980, and my on-site internet feed is pretty bogged down.
yeah I can get the archived feeds no problem.
Maybe it was just high volume and I wasn't connecting
by the time the player started?
I'm using version 9.00.00.3008.
Thanks,
Marty

Yep... time to call up your ISPs and request PIM-SM. If you don't know what that is, don't worry... trust me... the sooner it gets widely deployed the better. :D

Don't know if it's a factor, but I connected right at 9:00 (EDT), and remained connected 'til they went offline around 11:30.
