Erm, do we have a QT/Media Player video stream still about anywhere?

PS - Or do you mean to tell me that it's toasted as well?

Well **** - BBC World have definetly not renewed their agreement with Apple/Quicktime to provide the streaming feed - it's gone from both the QT and World website -- plus the WMP clip, the one that was just reposted above, doesn't seem to be working… Sad

Maybe someone who can get World and has a capture card could stream it for us?

Anyone fancy taking a trip to London and TVC and putting our feet up in the lobby with a bit of popcorn? Smile

Alternatively, that streaming might be better. Easily done with Netmeeting.

Great audio...but that black screen isn't very inspiring.

Well if we're going to go to TVC, why not go straight to the World Newsroom and put out feet up on the desks behind the presenter?! We're in on the action then! Besides, the TVs in the lobby have no sound do they? Sad

That's the answer then. Guess a 100k feed is a little to much for a 56k modem... Smile

Well the 300k feed seems to be working again, so it looks like I'll be able to watch the launch as planned!
