Best live feed

The live feed of the inaugural on msnbc sucked pond water. I don't know if they were overloaded or what, but the thing stopped for long periods of time.

The cbs and nbc live feeds required software that cost money on the mac. Macflip? Flipmac?

CNN had a great live feed. Stable as a table.

Glad I saw it, but also glad I wasn't in that crowd.

My employer had its own FOX and CNN feeds, served over the lan. Pretty cool!

msnbc should be the last choice for anyone for anything. Might as well listen to Rush

the one I watched was from senate.gov, and it was without any commentary. Had to restart it a couple of times--just a lot of users, I bet.

I'm pretty sure the television in the doctor's office waiting room was showing it, based on the small crowd. But I was dealing with other things. I'll probably watch a recording of it tonight... or maybe I'll read my book instead, I dunno.

There's a banner at the top of cnn.com that says "Live coverage".
