Hmmm, I wasn't able to get any of the feeds to run... Occasionally sound would pop in and I got a still picture. By the time I quit and restarted the browser, CBS had made the UTEP game my broadcast, so I couldn't watch any games anymore.

And it started with 2 games being called my local broadcast. Just to note, I can't find a way to get my money back. You may be able to open up 2 or 3 streams at a time, but I'm not sure.

I know my computer easily surpasses the minimum requirements, so I don't know what the problem is (and I turned off the firewall, and I can normally stream video fine)

Maybe there's too many people playing on the internet at school, we have bandwith problems sometimes.

I did it, and it worked pretty good for the late afternoon games. The only quibble I have is that it is on a 20-second or so delay. Not bad though, definitely worth the ten bucks if you have a broadband connection near your tv.
