MLSnet hates me. They’ve implanted gremlins in my computer because of all of the (justifiably) nasty things I’ve said about them. That’s the only possible explanation.

Sorry Laurie, the MLSNet webmasters must hate you. It works for me.

Gotta back up the other comments, not least because I’m in love with these feeds. Haven’t had a hitch.

This is the first game I’ve tried to watch live before. I did have the same problems trying to watch highlights a couple of weeks ago.

Tried it On Demand this morning and it was working fine. I’m hoping this was temporary, because if this happens in an important Galaxy game, I’ll be impossibly pissed off.

Oh, and btw, I figured out that we do get 27.5% of our games this way, compared to approx. 65% of Toronto’s games. How fair is that?

More than likely, if other streaming video usually works fine and you tried it on two different computers, it has nothing to do with your computer. Who is your ISP? Could have been just an temporary issue with it. Has this happened with MLSnet before?

Wait, a Mac actually successfully streamed something a PC couldn’t?! Holy crap — it’s snowing in hell right now (and I’m very encouraged about MLS’s streaming system.)

Actually, Laurie – for once, I think the problem might not just be MLSNet – I watched that very game myself, and it worked fine – all except Toronto’s offense that is … boosh … but seriously … yeah, it worked for me. I’m a macintosh nerd though, so it might be a PC issue.
