Space Forum / Shuttle / June 2007Nasa tv on the web falls over again then!
First the real feed got worse and worse, then died completely. Then the windows got very low bandwidth,. I ended up on the windows media sounds like a telephone audio only feed. It makes me wonder if any kind of web TV system is going to be viable.

It would seem to depend on your provider and/or home setup, and probably other hard-to-pin-down factors. NASA TV was superb here as well. I was watching on NT Broadband. Just wish their commentator had been a little better!

Well, that is od, as here, the bandwidth gradually went down and down as I said on real, until it stopped. I then retried to be greated with the bandwitch exceeded message from the nasa site. Going onto Windows, the downgrading happened also, but eventually, I was getting uge gaps as if it was buffering.

Everything was fine from before the de-orbit burn until about 3 minutes to touchdown when the audio went into a continuous loop, the picture being passably ok. By then BBC News 24 was carrying the NASA feed. Timed by the landing gear deploying I estimated the webfeed was somewhere around 35 seconds behind real time. -- I had the continuous audio loop happen to. All I did was close and re-open the feed and that either worked or coincidently they may have fixed it on their end at the same time. >>First the real feed got worse and worse, then died completely. >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > -- They have had this looping problem before. Not sure what causes it.

I had the same audio problem, but left it alone and eventually it cleared up. Made for an interesting effect, though.
