I'm not sure why, but they've changed their address to www.viidoo.tv. That solved the problem for me.

Am I the only that has trouble viewing FOX when they show the MLB playoffs? There must be quite a demand for the channel during that time and becomes non-existant on my player.

Oooh, now we have NHL Center Ice! It didn't work for me last night, though, b/c I have no way of pressing "Select to continue"

Good god, that's an amazing program. Full screen, stereo sound, even through my developing-world net connection. I had never heard of it. Best thread ever. I now have a reason to keep Windows on a machine.

Is it based in China? Seems so. Hope so - that will hopefully insulate it somewhat from the inevitable attempts to kill it.

Matthew and Sarcasm, I'm watching the first game of the Series now via Sopcast. After you've downloaded the player and logged-on, the channel is 6003 - ESPN Sports. They broadcasted NLCS and ALCS games, so I expect they'll play all of the WS games too. One caveat...the sound is atrocious! When you first click on the channel, turn your computer's volume down to zero then adjust it slightly up after the signal has buffered. The picture is good, I haven't had any breaks in streaming.

On second thought, you can just watch ESPN Asia on TVU Player. The sound is much better than Sopcast, although I didn't watch it long enough to comment on the video stream.

whew! The site was up and running in time for the Michigan game. To those who wonder about FOX not working, I've seen in the message board there that FOX never works during an MLB playoff game and starts working again as soon as it is over. It seem to be quite intentional. Anyway, Korean TV shows the MLB playoffs very reliably, so it doesn't matter too much.
