I got lots of great feedback when I posted where you can view Tour of Flanders live last Sunday. I’m glad that many of you caught my post and were able to watch real live video of the race rather than text updates. However, I didn’t do a very good job explaining how to do this for the non-tech savvy cycling fan. Hopefully this isn’t too confusing.
1. Go here to view the live Gent Wavelgem feed. This feed will go live from 14:30 – 17:30 (you can see the servertime on the top right corner of the 
page). Next, click the television set icon on the right side of the screen
2. Once the feed goes live, you’ll see a number of green and red circles listed down the left side of the screen with the required software listed beside it (eg. SopCast, TVAnts, PPStream etc). Before the feed is live, this info will not be displayed. Pick the feed that is green and has highest rating and download the appropriate streaming software that’s listed beside it from here.
3. Once you’ve downloaded the required software plugin (i.e. SopCast, TVAnts, PPStream etc), you can click the “play” link that’s listed beside the stream you want.
4. The plugin will launch and the feed will begin streaming live to your computer.
It may sound a bit confusing, but it’s really easy once you do it for the first time. After you get it once, you’ll have live feeds to all the cycling events you want.
W00T!
BTW, I’m TIPPING Greame Brown, Mark Cavendish, and Tom Boonen to be on the podium.
