Hey - I know this a pretty niche topic, but I was wondering if anyone has found a way to watch the daily Pardon the Interruption content on ESPN.com...

When tried in Safari it makes you use IE (bastards...) - but even with IE, Flash and WMP no dice... This makes me very sad, as the show is great (but getting home from work is not) and this is one of the only things I can't do on a Mac that I can on a PC (as far as my 'net habits...)

Any advice or ideas would be grrrrrreatly appreciated.

ESPN.com is heavily against OS X and all Mac browsers it seems...

Although they've been saying for months now that they're 'working' on a Mac OS X client for the Motion content. Obviously not making much progress....

TiVo is a wonderful thing. Quit paying for ESPN content and use it to pay for the TiVo service. Get home from work, and voila it is waiting for you to watch it.

I love PTI with my TiVo.
Meh

ESPN Motion works great in Safari. The Quality is just amazing! I wish they would have more clips.

Yep, it's nice indeed. In fact, ESPN claims that IE for Mac isn't fully functional using ESPN Motion...

So how did they make motion on the mac? On my work PC you download a separate app that downloads the video. On the mac it seems to work through flash.


For me on my 800mhz g4 iMac its a little choppy. Anyone else?
