Is ANYBODY watching on ESPN 360?

[Jim]

Maybe it's me but my Laptop (through a wireless router - with a slower processor and less RAM) carries audio and video better than my desktop.
The show today is nearly high def quality.

Boy, if there's ANY chance your ISP carries 360, you really need to try it before the season's over.

Thanks for the heads up,I got the final rounds after seeing this thread. That's a neat deal,wish I had known sooner.

I have been watching the last couple of races. Excellent quality but it starts a little after the race itself. The first pair or two of TF is usually done before I could get it to go. The 8-9 pairs have been great lately too........

Comcast is the only high speed ISP and the only cable provider around here in my neck of the woods and they don't carry 360.

And now they're jacking cable up to $75/month for basic so I'm dropping cable and going satellite TV only. County just blocked Verizon FIOS from coming in again so we're stuck with what we have.

Funny you should mention that.
There appears to be a several minute delay pushing the program through the pipeline, I guess.
First couple broadcasts, I listened to the NHRA Audiocast AND watched the lagging ESPN360 transmission. It was confusing but I didn't want to miss anything.
This week I had the confidence to drop the audiocast entirely. Maybe 5 minutes from real-time.

My po-dunk ISP doesn't carry it.

Can someone please explain to me what "does not carry " for an internet item means. I mean, I can go to YWN and watch things, see just about anything other places. How can this service be the one that has to be carried by the ISP? Thanks for educating me about this.

It doesn't make much sense to me either, but here's their FAQ page.

Thanks Kelly. Time Warner doesn't offer this service. I still don't get it. Do they have to pay to provide the service? I say bring back Direct TV pay per view!!!

I guess I answered my question.
