  I can't get the video to work on Safari or Firefox (mac of course). Have flip 4 mac installed and it plays the opening 20sec. intro then just goes blank. Any other canadians having this problem or is it a mac thing?

  Also, can't watch NBC online because it's only for americans.

  I also don't own a tv so thought I'd try check some of the games out online. Might just have to go to the pub to do it.

  was hoping for live feed. I can watch the highlights after they've happened but the streaming video won't work.

  Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, just like BBC in the U.K.

  I have no problems here.

  At first I couldn't see shit coz I did not have flip4mac installed, but then I installed it and quit my browsers and boom! the video stream was there in all its glory.

  • Weird, I still can't get it going and I did same as you.– eegrek1/2

    Oh… and I am using the latest version of FF and flip4mac 2.2 (although the site says it requires the 1.1 version)– VectorMasked2/2

  These 4 sites have mostly football (sawker) streams but also have other sports, live! I myself tend to use them to watch some EPL and La liga action.

  There's at least 3 different sports being cast live here. gymnastics (link above), volleyball and swimming. I guess you're not supposed to watch them all.

  I've been watching CBC a little bit, fuckin US channels don't seem to have things live.... I can't find a *good schedule anywhere and it seems different events are all over different stations...
  ... it seems like programming anarchy.

  So I actually disabled the flip for mac prgram, and it opens in windows media player where I can actually resize the thing to full window. Weird solution considering on their help page they recommend installing flip4mac ... and yet when I uninstalled it it worked. That's the CBC for 'ya, Canadian tax dollars hard at work. I'm so glad TSN snagged the HNIC theme song.
