Where to watch Longhorn football.

2011-09-03T20:17:00.000-07:00

Updated: 9/17/11 This week Texas vs UCLA on Live Sports Justin TV is being view by hundreds of thousands. A simple FLV player is all that's needed.

Tip: For those of you that suffer lag or freezing streams when using the flv player, a common fix for many is to right click the picture and select quality. Try choosing medium or low quality. Many of these new streaming events are in HD by default and may not work well on some computers in the default mode.

Update: Watch Texas Longhorn football BYU vs University of Texas at Austin live streaming here. If you missed the game watch the replay at the link above. Click on the replay button and scroll down to football section.
After watching 6 quarters of this years UT team play, they appear improved over last years team but still lack the ability to employ an essential problem solving tool. The use of the pump fake affects all 11 defenders! Texas never uses this highly effective technique.

It is no longer a matter of paying an arm and a leg to watch the sporting events and movies you might enjoy. Finding a network that broadcast popular viewing seems much of the problem. Bundling might be a word you dislike when it falls short of expectation.

Finding viewable streaming video on the Internet may prove difficult if you are not experienced at where to go. Without further delay, you might want to take notice of a few places that you can easily watch sporting events, new movies, TV episodes and a lot more for free with minimum spam and quick player installations. Yes, you need high speed Internet! This is not an endorsement. This is a report of what millions of people around the world are using to watch free and easy to access broadcasting.

During the Rice vs Texas football game at halftime, more than 159,000 fans viewed the game on veetle(dot)com. Very watch able even in full screen mode. Bit rates was 737 kbps.
Update: The entire game was streamed on Veetle. After a post game show, a request to terminate the broadcast seems to have been made. A likely reason being that the broadcast might have been in violation of a copyright. Such a request would certainly be honored by Veetle. With the new Longhorn network, meaning lots of cash, it seemed a surprise that the entire game was broadcast on Veetle. Then again, the Longhorn network has been slow to roll out. Reports are that Grande has added the Longhorn network for most of it's customers.

A request to take down Internet content is a common first step involving any copyright material. Usually, once a request has been honored, no further action is taken. This will certainly become a test of character but not for more than one hundred thousand fans who viewed the Texas football game on Veetle.

Veetle also carry a wide variety of what your bundle likely does not. Gets set up in under a minute. Best bet for quality. If you go deep into some of the broadcaster's sites you may be vulnerable to spam. Lots of new movies and whatever’s so you don't need to do that. Some broadcasters offer downloads. Good idea may be not to go there!

If you enjoy NASCAR and don't have the right bundle for it Justin sports always carries several feeds that are not bad but not up to the quality of veetle broadcasts. World wide stations available there.

Then there is Hulu. Lot of stuff there and easy to get but not great quality or high demand video for free. They also run a lot of commercials. Good for some TV series you might want to watch. Watch a whole season in one night.

The four links provided in this article have been trusted and used for years. Provided you have real high speed Internet and use common sense these links could provide you with free great entertainment.
Good advice is: Don't go deep into a broadcaster's site. Sometimes OK but usually results in spam and other results you might regret. Do not download copyright stuff!
Use the links at your own risk. Ask around and see if others have had any problems. Always research any place before you go there.
Hope you enjoy the free and easy good stuff.

Great cheap food

2011-04-27T11:20:00.000-07:00

Here are some food products that I buy because I like em. They just happen to be cheap.

Has all the big boys do except the high price.

This product is so good that some stores think you are not supposed to know it's a cheap brand. If it's not amoung the least expensive preserves in the store, visit another store. All of Blackburn's preserves are great.

Very good tortilla chips and come with a great price.

Good but not tops in taste. It's a money saver if you love peanut butter.

I just had to put in one clunker. This product was worse than awfull. When I offered a piece to the dog, he gave me the come on dude that's not food look.
There are many great cheap food products you just don't have to pay a high price to enjoy. No coupons either.
