Top Gear Live - Lucky Americans...

SSJ3 Goten · May 1st, 2005, 5:13 PM

The BBC are providing a multicast stream for their BBC1, BBC2, BBC4 and BBC News 24 channels.

BBC1: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/bbc1.ram
BBC2: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/bbc2.ram
BBC4: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/video16.ram
BBC News 24: http://support.bbc.co.uk/multicast/rams/uni/news24.ram

When Top Gear starts again you can watch it live [ok, 1 minute behind tv..]

.ram = RealPlayer

what the heck is a .ram file?

Jostyrostelli · May 1st, 2005, 5:51 PM

Real Player I think...

hokiethang · May 1st, 2005, 5:52 PM

Realmedia???? images/smilies/yucky.gif

I guess its better than nothing, but of all of the advancements that have been made in technology, and with the size of the BBC, you'd think they could afford wmv7 or quicktime4, which look better than RM.

STREAMING REAL PLAYER? YOU MUST BE JOOOOOOOOKING!!!!

Edit: i just downloaded the player...the quality is at least as good as that of Jabbasworld, and the aspect aint screwed up by the PAL/NTSC conversion

Maybe he means that they can watch it live in stead of having to wait and having to download it??

But than again..makes no sense, because EVERYBODY can watch that, not only americans
