NFL Games Streaming Online at NBC Sports, Starting Tonight
Last night, the 2008 NFL season kicked off and along with it came NBC Sports' first ever streaming of live football games -- sure, you can plop down on the couch for the game just as you've done for years, but now you'll be able to tune in live from your computer. Thursday night's entry to live online football was the New York Giants stomping the Washington Redskins, and, according to reports, the online experience was good, but not great. The service offers four user-selectable camera angles, which is a nice feature, but sadly it seems that every time you pick a new camera angle, you have to sit through a commercial! NewTeeVee said that although the video quality was alright, it looked worse than the online Olympics footage.
The site uses Adobe's Flash to handle the streaming, which contrasts to NBC's use of Microsoft's competing Silverlight technology for the 2008 Olympic Games.
Looks like NFL players aren't the only one playing the field. [From: NewTeeVee, and Adobe.com]

You know, I tried this out last night and the online streaming was about a second FASTER than live television (Bright House Networks, Orlando)

When I try to access this from my home in Sao Paulo, Brasil, it's not available to me - instead, they want me to pay $200 per year for the service (via Yahoo). Yet when I access the service from my home in Houston, it's free. Isn't this the stupidest access control you've ever heard of? What possible reason, other than the desire to gouge expat customers, could there be for this difference? I'm the same consumer here as I am there....
