ABC launches free streaming experiment

What happened with this experiment? I know it was supposed to be limited, but I can't find it anywhere and I've never been able to access it. I was looking forward to catching some missed episodes on my computer.

Bootes mail me at thesaint@logriver.com cheers

Eric give me a way to contact you, I might have what you need.

Looks good. Great for us parents. Any idea how to get this to fullscreen?

Totally impressed with the quality! Even glad it sits on a black screen. They really could have flubbed this with animated banner ads all over, but they did it right.

I love it, but my only beef: I'm on a cable IP, but ABC detected too slow of a connection so couldn't take advantage of full screen.

#9/Josh: It worked great for me in Safari 2.0.3/OS 10.4.5.

Seems like a no brainer for a network to do this; you get ad hits when your site is visited and then commercial hits when the shows are viewed. Not sure how great this is for consumers though. I for one don't want to sit and stream video on my computer; will either DVR it and catch hi def on my TV or download from iTunes to watch when travelling. But free is free so I imagine the response will be decent.

Well, maybe it's me, but this is supremely busted in Safari. Firefox, too. What's up?

I actually have slight more sympathy with this not working outside the US than I did when it turned out that you couldn't download the episodes from iTunes. That said, I don't have that much sympathy. In fact, it's really rather annoying...

I'm very impressed with the quality and speed of this. And the commercials aren't that bad. I like that it gives you a countdown til when the show is back on. I was watching last weeks Alias. Good stuff, ABC. And gotta love that it works on the Mac and makes great use of Flash video.
