I didn't have any "buffering" issues or choppy video. (Sounds like a commercial, sorry)<br><br>I was stuck at my store with no television access and the only radio station we could find that was carrying it had Rush Limbaugh commenting over the audio. I had 6 people huddled around my desk watching on my phone. We were all impressed with the quality, but after hearing all the problems there were with other online streams, I am astounded that I was able to get it at all!

I also went to MSNBC and it failed kept buffering. Maybe NPR was the first in that is why They gave Facebook such high marks. They will need to work on there facts based on what I am reading from other people. WRONG: I waited 3 minutes to get on to CNN gave up and went to Yahoo and watch the Live Stream.

The stream was all jammed up. I got the fox stream to work for about 2 minutes, but was out of luck after that. I was even trying from Arlington, VA, right across the river.
