Streaming NFL Network? (1 Viewer)

I can get it to start buffering, but can't get past about 25%. I guess too much traffic. Will try later.
traffic and your speed, combo of the two. Most "blame" would go to traffic I only mention in case you're unknowingly running a bunch of other programs.Again, reminder-Check sopcast site and channel listing for more channels at about 7:30pmI wouldn't doubt they have 3 or 4 at that time. You want to play with which one you can get onto before it's bogged down.I don't think many sites could handle as much bandwidth as they're going to get eh maybe a dozen or so on the web...not many.

Working for me as well, but choppy on the buffering. Better than nothing though.

on the right hand side of the address bar on the sopplayer program. it is choppy though.
 
I've got it up and running thanks to all above, but agree...choppy. Any other channels? Recommend performance enhancing options/drugs? better than nothing but annoying as can be. Just about to head to sirius to listen to the game instead.

thanks

your lucky its even up
 
the two little boxes in the lower right are to bring it up in windows media player. It seems to reset your connection so if you're good don't do it but, if not I think for some reason it comes in better.

 
Working almost flawlessly for me.
Please explain to me like I am a moron exactly what I need to do to watch the DEN game. TIA
http://www.sopcast.orgmiddle of page is download link. Download, unzip, install.

Start program

paste sop://broker.sopcast.com:3912/11801

into top bar. Click arrow next to that bar

wait a minute while it connects
Thanks. That was easy. :thumbup:
OK good, you're welcome
 
i was gonna ask the same thing (about the settings).... but it's really going smooth for me now

i know there are some people that are probably gonna be pissed at me for bumping this because the more people trying to stream the less reliable the connection is going to be... but that's the breaks.

read the thread tchalyjr... follow the links... it's not difficult

I use the anonymous connection...always wondered if it would run better with a real login...It is running much better as well...I think it gets choppy when the stream file grows in size. I have learned not to stop the application and refresh it...it usually takes longer, and runs slower.Something is better than nothing... :banned:
 
annonymous here too.

it was running real choppy untill i paused it durring a comercial break.... durring the pause my firewall poped up w/ a couple of alerts of sopcast asking for access to the net or something... since then it's only buffered like once.... if it can stay this smooth throughout the game... i'll be thrilled

 
Choppy and anonymus here too, but I figure it's because I'm using the cheapest DSL package available and don't have the greatest bandwidth available to me.

ETA: I also paused it during the commercial breaks and it came back less choppy. I think the buffering becomes accumlative and starting over can clear that overloaded buffer.

yep... that's what i was thinking too.someone was talking about watching on sopcast w/ friends and the gamecenter was faster so he could accurately "predict" the play and bet w/ the people he was watching with.I'll definately take a 5-10 minute delay for a nice flowing picture! :thumbup: I'm so psyched about watching this matchup i'm throwing in C. Henry over Gates! :banned: let's have a SHOOTOUT!!!!!RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDI!!!!!!!!
 
If you hit the button in the lower

right hand corner, it switches to

the Windows Media Player screen.

A decent feed..... indeed.

WOW IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE U!@!!!!!!!!!
how long does it take to load, I have been waiting while it connects to the sop network....
took me two minutes with cabel modem
It's just sitting there trying to log on. I have DSL so speed should not be an issue. Could it be my firewall? Do you use a firewall?I feel so close...yet so far away......

firefox but that's about it. You need to close out of the website to download.

When I installed SOPcast, I enabled my firewall then. Your firewall should tell you SOPcast is trying to access the internet, and give it that permission then. For those who ask the channel #, here again is the link to show all the games for SOPcast at once. Just click the links there on the schedule for the appropriate channel. Bookmark it.
