Did I hear ESPN right?

[Tonichelle]

omg yeah....i was like "FINALLY!"

espn360.com...hopefully they didnt lie

 

[Joesitz (RIP)]

4 Disciplines of 6 skaters or Teams and 6 hours from NY EST. Somebody figure it out and tell us at what time should the ESPN be turned on to catch all this? I'm sure there will be commercials, fluffs and the usual official setups.

I think they may have meant the exhibtions only, but I don't know.

Folks, espn360 requires that your computer has broadband or cable modem, and that your ISP (internet service provider) carries espn360.

If you do have the proper arrangements, then you can watch the competition live on the WEB---NOT on TV.

My ISP does not support this service, and the only one that does isn't fully expanded into the area where I live.

 

[Tonichelle]

hmmmmmmm thanks for that, chuckm... I'm gonna go check that out now...

ETA - yeah I don't get to watch it

 

[1795]

yay...my ISP carries it!

 

[feraina]

Holy cow, this is the best news that I've heard all week! I have ESPN360 here, I didn't know anything about it until I read this thread. Thanks so much for the info.

Torino is 6 hours ahead of New York City, so whatever the starting time of the GPF is each day, subtract 6 hours.

The OD starts on 12/14 at 1:10 pm (at least on the tentative schedule) so that would be 7:10 am in NYC. When the GPF results page goes up (probably in the afternoon on 12/13) you can get the actual time of each event. They display the time in military format so it's easy to subtract the 6 hours.

too lazy to think or calculate: time for FD Los Angeles time? EST is fine...

 

[Tonichelle]

subtract 9 hours for Pacific
10 for Alaska lol

[Tonichelle]

I watched Cup of Russia live on ESPN360. No commentating, just music and the sound of the skates on the ice.

 

[jennylovskt]

[1795]

subtract 9 hours for Pacific

The website shows a list of upcoming program. So I would check a few days before to see when and what they are showing.

However, I tried to watch NHK live this weekend. The streaming broadcast was variable. I tried to watch the mens long. The link said that the broadcast was showing it live, but it took an hour after the long programs started for broadcast to actually begin. So I ended up only watching the last flight.

They keep old competitions online for a few days, so I saw Cup of Russia that way and they should everything, compulsories and all.

So I guess I am saying, who knows what will end up being shown.

I watched 7+ hours of NHK on ESPN360 this weekend. You can scroll through the program guide and watch events on demand, which is useful if you have to do things like go to work. I'm not sure how long they leave events up though.
