WC Davos Sunday Relays
I watched the NRK web-cast of the relays this morning here in New York. It's great watching these racing without knowing who's gonna win! I encourage anyone with a fast home internet connection to give this a shot. Very good resolution at the 640Kbit stream that I connect at . Some interesting comments from the Norwegian commentator's. The Norwegians had very good skis today, as opposed to yesterday where they decided to not use a "klister blend". The incident with the banner on the course was cool to watch. Tor Arne Hetland, the german and the swede came into the exchange area. Hetland jumped over the banner, the german avoided it and the swede got tangled up in it. The commentators joked that Hetland would now be trying out for the Nordic combined team. -- Using M2, Opera's revolutionary e-mail client: http://www.opera.com/m2/ |

www.nrk.no is the main web page for NRK, a Norwegian TV channel . Here you can see what is on all the channels. In the upper right hand corner you will find a button "SE" (see). That brings up the viewer. You'll have to register to get a userid and password (brukernavn/passord). The viewer allows viewing of shows currently showing (direkte) and archived (TV). Select "sport" to see a list of various sport categroies. XC (langrenn), Nordic combined (Kombinert), biathlon (Skiskyting) as well as others. Click and view. Then enroll in a class to learn Norwegian so you can understand the commentary :-) On Sun, 14 Dec 2003 17:15:13 -0500, 32 degrees wrote: What's the link Tom? Sounds great.

You have to register. On the log-on screen you will see a link "registre deg her" (register here) Heres the prompts on the registration screen. Fornavn = First name Etternavn = Last name Brukernavm = userid passord = password gjenta passord = password confirm E-post = E-mail address That's all that you need. Make sure you unclick any of the 3 checkboxes. They ask you if want news sent to your E-mail/mobile phone. I assume you don't.

Tom
How are you able to hold the 640kbit stream? I only can watch the 108kbit stream even though when I run the connection test on the video panel it says I am connecting at 1024kbit. I can't even ping nrk.no! The test keeps timing out so I am losing tons of packets. I am on Comcast broadband here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Who's your New York ISP? My speed test on DSL reports web site rates me at about 1495kbit for West Coast servers and about 900kbit for a test site in New Jersey. Have you run a "tracert" on your DOS command line window to see how many milliseconds each router hops for packets coming to you from NRK.no? I can't even get past hop #7 before getting a bunch of "timed out" lines. It sucks for us in California. Every weekend I am getting more and more PO'd with ComCast and their advertising hype about how much faster they are than DSL service.
