On my iPad the feed is great but chat doesn't seem to work. Picture and sound is excellent.

Yep, gotta register.

Man, that white car took a couple hard wall shots earlier. Not sure why they don't try to fix it. Something must be bound up.

That's not even funny. :angry: BP is the 2nd round, they still need to be raceable at 8 more tracks after it

OK, I've tried and I've tried and I've tried to watch the race vids on Ustream. But something is not working out for me. Now, I've got an old computer, but it is running a Pentium rated at 3.20 GHz. I've only 512 Mb of Ram. I've recently put the thing back to factory settings, and even had the Processor heatsink and motor thouroughly cleaned out of dust. It now runs sweet. So I can't believe it is a hardware problem.

When I try to watch the vids, I get sound, but a still picture that updates every 2-3 mins or so. Anyone out there who is a technical whizz might care to suggest a fix or workaround? If the next leg is also on Ustream I'm going to be missing out.

BTW YouTube works fine for me, and I regularly stream films off LoveFilm without any problems.

I was able to access the archived races yesterday and watch them. It does take a while for them to download. I do have a newer HP and high speed connection, but I don't know how much that comes into play when viewing.

Al,
Here at home, on a slower speed connection, it runs superb.
I can see why everyone was gushing about the quality. :)

Ironically, on the computer at the shop where it was broadcast and recorded,
and with the super-fast connection, I'm experiencing the same problem you're having.

I'll try to get to the bottom of it.
