Does anyone watch NASA TV over broadband?

I'm finding the performance of this terrible at the moment (on 2MB F2S)
- just wondered if others were having similar probs?

Not regularly but I have tried recently as there has been some quite
cool camera footage from the ET and SRBs. It ran like a dog, which I
put down to demand, but then I noticed you use F2S as do I.

It might be co-incidence as they use Akamai who you'd expect would have
"lots" of bandwidth.

cheers,
Paul

On plusnet.
Fairly intermittent, though I wasn't watching it in the past few mins.

If you have freeview, then it may be available on 'press red' from
news-24, if there is something important happening.
Likewise on Sky-News.

It probably is a server issue. I was watching it at the weekend - about
10am BST at the weekend when they were in the payload door getting ready
for a space walk - when many Americans would still be in bed

It's been rock solid 150kbps Windows Media feed on Blueyonder since tha
launch. The Real Media Feed was just plain broke for a few days (falling
back to 34k and still dropping 75% of packets) but seems to be fine
again at 150k as of today. Real picture quality seems a little better
when it works.

Right - I've just switched to that. I only used Real Media so I could
see (from the time) when feed was freezing, but I can live without that

In fact the picture at this moment in time (view of ISS from the
Shuttle) seems much clearer in Windows Media - in normal mode and "full
screen"

It's hard to compare though, as the Real Media feed is perfect at the
moment

Thanks for everyone's input

In fact the Windows Media feed is now at 300kbps and has held that
without dropping a single packet for the last 30 mins.
