Title: Why can't I stream the Oscar.com telecast in fullscreen?!
Post by: Howard Alan Treesong on February 24, 2008, 04:45:21 PM
I don't have cable television, I just have a fat Internet pipe, and I want to output the feed to my projector so I can have people over. What sort of streaming video solution doesn't have a full-screen option!!

</whitewhine>

Any suggestions on how to solve this problem? :(

Thanks for the link.  That site is hilarious.  I think it's even funnier than white whine.

Where is there a streaming webcast?  It's certainly not from ABC and/or Oscars.com, because all they're doing is streaming red carpet stuff and post-announcement interviews.

It gets pretty heated in the comments.  Wow, people, it's just a joke.

Evidently channelsurfing.net has one, but right now Firefox is being a bitch and not letting me access it.

SO, I'm finally breaking down and downloading IE7, just to watch the Oscars from the comfort of my dorm room.

Okay, besides channelsurfing.net (which I can't get to work:)

There's a channel 12 from somewhere in Minnesota. I don't see an ABC logo, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed. There are also two chinese streaming links. They work, but I don't know if that's going to be the Oscars or not come eight.
