My Kindle Fire HD is playing the latest show just beautifully. I have Verizon VIOS as a provider. I will try this later on this evening when traffic on the line seems to slow down the Internet in general.

I just compared just the opening credits, advertising and introduction, using Google Chrome and Firefox (updated, which I usually use). I have to say that the difference is noticeable and remarkable...much much better using Google Chrome. It looks high definition.

Hi Judy!
No, my internet is fine and so is my computer. (I paid good money to verify that - ugh!) I am not using a Kindle to access the show. I use my laptop or my android phone. (I don't "watch" shows on my phone.) Some one else was talking about the Kindle.
Regards,
Diane

I must say this is quite distressing. We quit hosting the videos ourselves in 2010 and pay a very high rate to a video company who is supposed to keep us updated on all devices and platforms. (They handle ESPN.com and Yahoo Japan.) It is also important as we are creating a whole new website. So, I'm glad we have the opportunity to address this now. First I will buy a Kindle HD. (I remember having to buy an iPad for the same testing reason. I soon realized as I stood in Apple line at 5am that I was the only person in line that actually "needed" the iPad. For everyone else it was at toy.) Is there anything I should know before I buy one?
I will also forward your comments to my representative at Ooyala (our video company). They will inevitably have more questions than I can answer. dFrank I will probably see if they can contact you directly as a test case. By the way, thank you for your help so far on the new site.
We will solve this. If our Video company can host ESPN then maybe we have a glitch between their code and ours.

I thought this was my internet service with the slow and cranky on my desktop, but I'm going to try Chrome. I'll try my Kindle Fire HD after it's done charging. I never did have much luck with the old Fire.

Diane -- I live just half-way across town from you and I'm having
no problems whatsoever -- and you know how computer savvy I am! :shock:
Could the problem be with your high-speed access at your home? We had
to have that tweaked before the kindles would work.

It's not just you. I had problems viewing with my laptop (with Firefox). I assumed that the problem was my computer, but my computer tech said no, my computer and its connection was fine. The problem existed with the web site that I was trying to connect to (quilt show.) I'm with you on this. Since I buy the DVDs anyway, I am going to let my subscription expire (unless there is a radical improvement) and just buy the DVDs. Kinda sad because I am a charter member and I have gotten to this point.

Hi Nancy,
Are you able to scroll thru the classroom lists? Are you able to scroll thru the different classroom skerries? Thoes are things that I used to be able to do I can no longer do. In addition, I cannot watch the latest show, with Grace Errand at all. Any additional information that these IT guys have may help them fix this problem.

I usually watch the shows on my laptop, but I have a Kindle Fire HD so I gave it a test. I was able to download and watch the latest show, at least the first couple of minutes, without a problem. I only watched the first few minutes since I'd already watched this show. Don't know if that helps.
