You're 100% German am I right?

Great that it's available, I'm thinking about getting lp, but I'd like to see a demo first and try it for a day or two. I don't know whether my broadband connection can handle it via streams from the U.S.

Anybody here who knows a link where one can try it?

There's a demo available in the site:

What kind of broadband connection do you have? As long as you have a 1.5M download bandwidth, you are okay. It'd be uncommon if you don't.

Due to my nick I guess. Born but not living there.

It's been a while since I read the word Studi on the internet

@mogrovejo
Ah thanks, completely missed it on the page. Works fine. I have up to 20Mbit but streaming from overseas sometimes is very laggy. Looks promising, although the quality is a bit in full-screen mode. And the only US-Sport channel I can watch in Austria is ESPN America via sky... and damn the NBA is not included

I don't know if I'll be getting this one or buy the regular one for my TV in phoenix with directv which i hook to with a slingbox...

If you get the regular one, you get the webstream with it automatically (you need to register or something with your provider and that's it).

Is it possible to watch in standart quality if I take the prenium and the HD is not working well ?

The 48 hour archive is interresting but they had problem last year with standart quality. So I'm skeptical on the HD....

Unfortunately that may not be that simple.

Last year they used the RayTV system, which is a P2P technology.
That means you are uploading part of the streams to other users while you're watching a game.
And some DSL broadband connections, very common in europe, are very much limited in upload bandwidth (256 kb/s for ex)
Also on those DSL access, uploading limits you download bandwidth as well.

In my case, my 2MB/s DSL connections was not enough to watch the ILP HD streams, just because that crappy p2p system was capping my upload. It's not configurable either, mind you...

It's working great!
