Title: Non-U.S. ESPN sports programming
Post by: Fuzzy on December 06, 2007, 12:43:58 AM
I'm sitting here in my room getting waiting for some colleagues to go out for dinner and I'm watching some high level, kick ass table tennis match on a channel called "J Sports ESPN". I can't understand the announcers but it's intense.   ;D

Obsure.Sports.Quarterly.surrenders.

It just got better. Table tennis match is done and we've moved on to.....

......Mixed Doubles Badminton!

I am not making this up. Denmark vs. Indonesia. I know this because it's on their jersiey just below their names.

Sounds like Japan (or Jordan or Jamaica). There are only 3 sovereign nations beginning with the letter J.  ;D

Why can't you watch YouTube videos?  Yet you can see the image?

Yes, I get the picture, with the press play button, but that is all, the video wont play.

I think you've got something blocked in your settings.  If you can see the image, it should play.

I don't think it has anything to do with your dial up, or being in Australia.  Possibly female, but I think you have some flash streams blocked in your options.

This is going to be hard, because I don't even understand the questions.

I use aol, and I use their screen, not internet explorer.

Well, then it's a good thing he didn't say press Alt, Ctrl, and Del (Delete) at the same time.

I'm in Tokyo right now. I was in Seoul earlier in the week. I'm flying back today (Friday). I was looking for you on the board last night - I was all alone in here.  ;) 8)

I don't think it has anything to do with your dial up, or being in Australia.

A 5 minute youtube video can take 30+ minutes to load on a slow dial-up connection.

Does it work the same for you?  e.g. You get the picture of the embed, but nothing happens when you press play?  Do you just wait for it?

And seems even longer when it's five minutes of Vikings Super Bowl highlights.    :o

We get a really good connection as far as dial-up is concerned, average 48 kbps, but yeah after you click "play" the first several seconds can take 15-30 seconds before you see anything. And on slower dial-up connections it takes a whole lot longer...

You should be able to find a job that pays the $50 per month that it would cost. [sm_devil]

I've turned down a few job offers, care giving 24/7 for our Grandma who has Alzheimer's Disease, and helping with a little sister, (not Nat ;)) and little brother, doesn't let it work out, for now at least. :)
