We have a skating channel...sort of

[Spirit]

If you have $150 for the whole season, or just $5 per event per competition.

Would this allow people to watch skating only on their computer, or would this be something that can actually be seen on a TV screen? It's Monday and I'm brain dead.

No one cares? You would rather listen to figure skating as a radio play-by-play?

Or is this old news?

Kinda old news.

It's a subscription service and you can watch via your computer or TV (if you have the right hookups). A current list of competitions can be found at: http://www.mediazone.com/channel/figureskating/jsp/competitions.jsp

Gotcha. I am behind the times.

Is it 2005 yet?

I know some posters have been using it. Could any of them give us a report?

love it love it love it

I have been able to watch competitors at my same level and above in their respective Regionals. I was then able to watch the same skate at Sectionals -- still waiting for last one to post, though. :thumbsup:

Also, remember that several U.S. skating team members had to do Sectionals this year -- Danielle Kahle (Pacific Coast), Jane Bugaeva, Megan Williams-Stewart, and Louann Donovan (Eastern), and Katy Taylor and Megan Oster (Midwestern). It was great!!

I've been able to view these on my home computer, my grandma's laptop, my mom's work computer, and even on my coach's laptop. Being able to even view my own performance on-line is great for improving for next season.

We got it at the introductory price of only $99 so we're very lucky. I'm so excited to watch the next Sectionals and the Brittish Campionships.
