GTR Webcast

[Steve W]

I have a lot of people that now can receive the links. This is a last chance to check. If all goes well then Discovery Channel will be broadcasting GTR for all the world to see.

Is this year's event going to be available to watch from the US live? And if so, Discovery Canada is going to need to get us a link for this year's material. The link on the NASA webcast page has a geolock on it.

Edit: I went to discovery.ca and found this: http://www.discoverychannel.ca/shows....aspx?sid=7826
Looks like the webcast starts tomorrow at 9am!

I have just spoken with the Discovery Channel people and they will be checking on the geolock. We may have been given the wrong URL but I now have what I believe is the correct one. I was told that they may do some streaming today once set up. Please check this URL and let me know if it works:

It is working here in Grand Rapids, Mi! Well, I can get to the webpage and the advertisement plays then nothing else in the player, but I assume that's fine since the webcast is supposed to start tomorrow.

The main discovery page says it starts at 9am EST, yet it is 9:30 and they are still playing info about the lunar eclipse

Nevermind, works in internet explorer.

PS, I wrote a gameday-like thingy:

Ditto Bongle. Works for me in Internet Explorer, not in Firefox. Not huge since I'm obviously running windows, but it might be affecting the Mac-addicts among us.
