My wife would sure be happy about this. Now I can watch the game on my computer at the office, rather than try to catch it at home when she's trying to get me to pay attention to her, lol.

I am selling http://www.sportstube.us which is being listed on the auction at http://www.tdnam.com (at a greatly reduced price) and will sell to the highest bidder above $10,000 USD (reserve bid of $10,000) It is a 7 day auction. I am also selling http://www.sportstube.cn (China) and http://www.sportstube.ca (Canada) for $10,000 each. So if you are interested in either of these domains the opportunity is knocking. Thank you. If you have any questions you are welcome to contact me.

Guys, if you are hockey fans check out the NHL’s streaming efforts for the playoffs. Both Comcst and Yahoo are streaming playoff games, nice addition to the “normal” TV coverage on Versus. Last night I was able to watch the San Jose-Nashvill OT game on comcast.net and Minnesota-Anaheim on yahoo while Versus was showing a differnet game.

The Comcast stream in particluar was unbelievably stellar, best streaming video I’ve ever experienced. This was done on my laptop receiving my Verizon dsl signal wirelessly.

Best part is these are free, you don’t have to be a comcast customer or anything.

Tim and Adrian, are there any sports or broadcasters you see as being aggressive with Internet options like CBS here in the U.S.?

I see the internet as a great possible new revenue stream for Pay Per View (or even better Pay Per Tournament) live sports events. For example, over here in the UK the Cricket World Cup is only available to watch with a Sky Sports subscription. That is fine, but for those of us without the possibility of getting cable and not having enough time to watch TV to make a Sky Sports subscription useful as I don't want the rest of sky and being a student a 12 month contract isn't possible (or there would be 3 months wasted).

I would, however, happily pay £10 (half a month's Sky Sports subscription cost) to have the ability to watch the whole of the World Cup over the internet or even for just the England games.

At the moment there is no such option and so the 'unofficial' options are getting used by people instead. And to be honest are not difficult to set up at all - they just involve downloading a player and visiting a url...

"My early betting line says the 2008 Olympics in Beijing could and should be the biggest-ever Internet-viewed sporting event (for American audiences), simply because most of the action will take place at hours not synchronized to prime time".

Yes...even though cricket is a different animal...it's really disappointing to see that the organisers (and other powers ) could not do more to make the 2007 Cricket World Cup available on the Net.

I guess if you are that interested then there is always CricInfo's 3D version.
