this is no good. Blinkotv has even taken the Marathon City Marina down. Tiki an Blinkotv both stream Eyepartner TV, which only shows thier lobby and a test channel.

Damn. I loved watching Fox News on Blinko etc. I watched the balloon thing live on there yesterday. I wonder if all the attention balloon boy drew on the web yesterday caused the suits at Fox, CNN et al. to take notice of the streaming sites.

Not sure, but...

It could be that the news channels (FoxNews, FoxBusiness, CNN, etc.) threatened legal action against those websites for copyright/content violations.

FOX (broadcast channel) was hot when several early episodes of 24 hit the Internet before they were broadcast.

Yesterday, I could get the Fox business channel, but not the news channel. I could get CNN too.

Today - nothing.

When you watch on tikilive, it shows how many are watching. A month ago, Beck would often not show up/play if there were more than 1K viewers. Then they must have upped their bandwidth or something, because it would go to 2K with no problems. I suspect they are maybe going way over that now and just can’t handle it.

I agree. I always watch Fox online at www.blinkotv.com and FOX has been removed as a choice.

I called the BlinkoTV guys today and they said that the networks contacted them and gave them cease and desist letters. They didn't sound happy about it at all because I'm sure a majority of their users were people at work who wanted internet access to the news outlets.

It comes down to money... Cable providers and Satellite providers are protecting their assets. The internet is a magical wonderful place that we should embrace, but when it messes with someones cookie jar, the lawyers come out to play.

I personally don't subscribe to Cable TV or Satellite and get all my information through the net. It sucks for me cause I've come to rely on BlinkoTV to provide me with live news feeds (Like yesterday's Captain Falcon and the UFO ride that never was.)

I really hope Fox News can find a way to lead on the streaming internet tv thing... I remember CNN trying a similar thing with their pipeline service (which I actually subscribed to (it was like pennies a month and I couldn't pass up having 4 raw news feeds (no commentary, just the raw sat link up footage as well as CNN International)) Of course, they stopped that pay service years ago, then went to a It's free, but we'll only broadcast during the day... which wasn't as good... and now I don't even think pipeline exists anymore...

I really hope the networks and channels will just skip the middleman (or at least convince the middlemen to let them stream as they see fit.) It would be better for the consumer, and in the long run the networks and channels. (It gives them more control over their product and how it's broadcast.)

And for those who worry about revenue... The internet is still a place to advertise, and there are MANY eyeballs out there! (The key issue to hammer home are these two: (1) People at work who want to watch YOUR PROGRAMMING while at work, and (2) New Viewers who you weren't reaching otherwise.)

Ok, that should do it... /rant

right click and copy #14 (thank you). Save to desktop and you’re set. The only place I could find it.
Thanks again.

” wssus.mobitv.com/wm8-320
Try this “

How does this app work exactly? It’s great and Fox plays inside a Windows Media Player.

Is there a menu option or a root (Home Page) to be able select different content.

Thanks for the help.

I never knew FNC was "on the air" on the internet. FNC is running on my TV, however...

I'm not being sarcastic... I honestly didn't know FNC was still streaming live on the internet. I remember it was back around 1999 or 2000, but I thought that was discontinued.
