Has never worked for me, even with the latest Quicktime and a broadband connection. Just a nasty, blocky, jerky, stuttering postage stamp.

Wish I could be there though. This one's looking promising...

Wow, a full front page of all new rumors in the first 24 hours... amazing!

Just wanted to post that and see why someone cast this particular forum as "negative" on the front page, clearly they hadn't any reason or they'd have backed it up with some text here.

Odd that some people have probably with the web cast, makes me wonder what speed internet connection they have. If it's only 56K then, well, uh, yeah, hello? But I've never heard too many broadband horror stories. On secret that I've found is log in early (even when the stream is black) and hope not to get bumped, it seems like router take preference on existing streams, but that just may be perception.

I have always had severe problems with quicktime streams until I turned off my firewall.
