The website notes that there are 3 bandwidths. How do I know which one I am on. I have a slow connection and the feed kept stalling for the ceremonial, so I would like to be sure I can get a continuous feed for the start.

Insider video from the live coverage yesterday is now up: http://iditarod.com/race/
Unfortunately they clipped off the first 19 starters.

Even though I could not look at the live Ceremonial Start feed on my TV through Ipad2 using Appletv, I am able to see the videos on my TV, and they are awesome! It makes a big difference from a small screen!

Thank you for the quality and quantity of videos along the trail. I feel involved and a part of the race! Keep up the good work!

a big thank you to the insider team!

last year watching the start and restart was a total disater for me, this year...awesome!! way to go guys!!! had a few jerky bits for the first few mushers then it ran smooooooooooooooth as puppy husky fur. the videos have loaded with in seconds, way way better than previous years even though i have a low stream rate being on a dongle thingy and not on wifi. theres a few little hiccups but otherwise like the new site and layout and im sure time will iron out the bumps on the trail!

all the reports are great the new tracker works well, love the history and insights buttons. the videos from the trail being uploaded with in minutes of the musher arriving is fantastic.

well worth the money and the long sleepless nights following the race from the other side of the big pond!

thanks all, give yourselves a pat on the back.

I'm still working on getting live feed on my TV through IPad2 using AppleTV. Apple staff advised me to try Puffin browser which reads "Flash" content. Does anyone know if the live feed is "Flash" content?
Thanks.

I had previously noted that the Apple staff advised me to try Puffin web browser for trying to see the Finish as live feed on my TV. It turns out that the latest version of Puffin does not support Flash content (if the live feed is, in fact Flash!). So I will try Photon instead.

Anyone have the directlink to the restart recording. I missed the middle starters and would like to review it.

thanks
