Hey, thanks for these links. Where I'm at right now, they actually broadcast the TdF locally free over the air (as well as on cable, of course). But, the TV signals are now digital here (not analog anymore) and I don't have a DVB-T tuner for the TV in my office. Now, I can watch it on my PC while I, uh, work and I won't have to fight my daughter in the afternoons for the TV hooked up to the cable. This'll be great.

Well, scratch part of my earlier comment. With the recent announcement that one of T-Mobile's riders had tested positive for elevated testosterone levels from a blood test before the Tour, both local OTA TV stations have announced the indefinite suspension of their TdF coverage. Now, it's only available via cable.

Fortunately, the NOS stream works. Unfortunately, it's in Dutch (I think). I can deal with German, French, and Spanish, but not Dutch (someone told me that Dutch sounds like a Drunken Brit trying to speak German -- which is sort of what the commentary sounds like now).

Hmmm, maybe I can play the NOS video stream in WMP and an English audio stream in VLC...

Star tuned.

I would suggest the Eurosport WMV stream -- I enjoyed listening to that when I couldn't access OLN (now Versus) last year and quite enjoyed the call.

Just added Cycling TV -- they have a nice flash-based recap feature on the free side.
