I signed up a couple days ago for the VIP pass (it wa free) so I got in to watch the games right away. It's kinda cool being able to watch any game that is on. Screen size is a little small though.

The only problem is black outs of local games so I can't watch UW-Milwaukee while I'm at work.

I've got commentary and video working fine on the OK game. SH/WSU is blocked here, so I can't check that one.

That's funny, the video is delayed more than espn's updating so you always know when they're going to score or not.

They should have the scores in that Viewing Guide area so I don't have to have yet another window open.

I did the VIP route as well...but I signed up using Anchorage, AK as my address (with appropriate zip code). No blackouts for me! (I'm in Madison, so the Milwaukee game would probably be blocked for me otherwise)

I'm in Madison and the UW-M game isn't blacked out for me.

hrm, so maybe they're blacking out based on the reverse DNS of the IP you connect with?

So because I'm in Milwaukee I don't get the game but Madison does? That's odd.

I'm not sure what's going on exactly. I guess I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow when Wisconsin plays.

The Wisconsin game is working fine for me - so is the Ohio, Iowa, and Bucknell game (4 of 4 work fine).

This is pretty cool for those of us stuck at work for 12+ hours today while coverage is on :)
