NRK - Video -
Did anyone else get the video from NRK working? I logged on with my
new userid/pw and all seems good. Connects ok. Player says "Ready". But no video. Flashes the text "opening media". Then nothing but black screen. I've had no trouble with other types of internet video. Would love to see these WC races live! |

It did work for me the first time I tried, before I wrote my post, but since then I haven't been able to get it to work. :-( Maybe they misjudged the amount of interest they would get?

It has to be NRK "1", Norways main domestic channel. If this C band feed
is their international feed to North America, it's probably not the good stuff. A bunch of talking head news shows and documentaries. Just like when we get BBC America over here, it's not the real deal like BBC-1 so we don't get the England Team football qualifiers and friendlies. If you can get the live WC broadcasts ( go to the NRK website and open the daily broadcast schedule, then use the World clock site to see what time it is in Oslo) then let me know. Not that I have a C-band dish. Sucks for me. "J999w" wrote in message ... OH oh ! Fill me in ... I can get NRK on the big C band satellite dish. I thought it was all news ??? jw milwaukee |

Do any of you who watch from North America get the full high bit rate
stream? When I try watch at 653kb or even the lower 308kb video, the player immediately buffers out and I end watching a bunch of still screen shots while I still get the audio. BTW the sound is really good at the high stream. You can hear the distinct voices, athletes gasping, the snow squeaking, and stereo spatial effects if you're on headphones,. I blame my crap ISP, so called Comcast Broadband. Wlhat a bunch of corporate lying propaganda. High speed connection? What a total joke! The stream has to jump thru so many of their slow routers that when I try to ping NRK's server address all I get is a bunch of "timed out messages". I know there are some regional broadband providers in the US that have better downloading speeds but out here in the SF Bay Area of Northern Calif. we are stuck with the Comcast monopoly, unless you want to pay $$$ for high speed DSL. Those of you in Europe using corporate T1 lines at work probably have no problem at all. Actually I, would rather not too many other schmoes like me not know about the NRK stream because it might less likely for me to hook onto a watchable video stream, e.g. excessive server requests. Besides most of you guys don't really want to stay up ridiculous hours of the night., 2am-5am to watch this stuff, right? "Terje Mathisen" wrote in message ...

I have a slower DSL connection. All the NRK video comes across at
99Kb/sec as seen in the properties (right click on playing video). Not great for full screen. But ok in small screen. I've played around with various setting and can't get better.. (Norwegian TV2 comes across at 98Kb/sec) But still pretty cool to watch live Norwegian TV. It's a plus that I understand Norwegian. Now, the question is, do I get up REALLY early to watch the "jakstart" t-row? :-).
