I don't have a high speed connection, so watching anything online is not an option, yet. I do love the idea that it is available and that poker is becoming a genuine sport in America.

I like the fact that we will have that option. I am not on high speed yet but by next week I will be. I can't wait to see the shows. It should be very interesting. I look forward to being able to watch it.

Default No Sound?

This is great!

I especially like the commentary of the online MTTS.

However, I have a problem getting the sound. The sound was fine for me initially but I have friends who had problems. Now I, too, am having problems.

Does anybody else have this problem? Have you figured out a way to get it to work?

Thanks!

What kind of sound problems do you specifically have?

I have not heard of any problems previously. Although now that I loaded the page the sound ended after 2 seconds. Refreshing the page brought it back though.

The stream was just changed from Quicktime to wmw format. Picture quality has improved, but we are looking into having the unnecessary controls off to get the picture larger.

This is a pretty good idea to get poker online. It should help poker get even bigger then it already is.

Wow - I was not expecting anything as good as that!!

The picture was crystal clear, the sound was perfect with no distortion, and the programs are very informative. I have just watched one on how to bluff a hand, and when to be agressive - very interesting.

There is some great comment from champion poker players and commentators, which gives people like me a better glimpse of how the game works.

Default Very nice poker TV feed!!

Thanks for bringing in the Poker TV. It's great! I don't usually watch poker from TV due to bad broadcast times, but this feed I can watch anytime!

This is great. I'm surprised that it took them this long to get a 24/7 Poker feed going. I'm glad that they are going to show poker matches from around the world. The boardcast quality was great too. It will be so nice to just watch when I want to, instead of waiting for a good broadcast time that I can catch.

This is really cool, thanks for sharing this site. I have been more interested in poker ever since I went to Vegas a few months ago, and that was all that played on TV there.
