Working great here, just saw an incredible test from Italy, I think it’s the new leader!
Sorry to be a tech bore here - but just wanted to be sure – the ExPat Shield does NOT work on Macs? I’ve had no luck - have any Mac folks been able to access the BBC feed in any way?
Thanks for any comments - even to finally shut me up!

Good go for Phillip!
I was using NBC yesterday via Google Chrome, and that was not exceptional. Thanks to the suggestions here I switched to the BBC via ExpatShield (Firefox and Flash updated to latest versions, Firefox for adblock) and it’s been great. So if you’re having problems, spend a few minutes to update your software and go the ExpatShield route.[/QUOTE]
Worked fine 'til now, so jumping ship to the BBC as suggested. Thanks!
Totally agree about Phillip. And about that Italian ride!
Funny thing was, I was just casually watching, waiting for Phillip, and started thinking “Who IS that??”
The italian rider & horse were just awesome, well deserved 1st, was very lovely to watch.

I loved that horse at WEG 2010 too. He’s a very good jumper too.
Darn, I’ve missed the past 1.5hr. due to the trimmer being here, wish I saw the ride for Italy!
Stefano Breccciaroli with Apollo WD Wendi Kurt Hoev, they sure could have given the horse a shorter name, right :D.
I wasn’t familiar with them, but curious to follow this pair now :).

I would if I could, watching live streaming on NBC and haven’t been able to find a link anywhere else to the video. I bet it will be available shortly, maybe on EN…
Just got to start watching and saw PD’s ride… lovely! The only other US rider I’ve gotten to see was Tiana, and PD just made her look like an ammy going Novice. But that Italian ride… Wow. Wow. Wow. Can we kidnap them and stick an American flag on their saddle pad?
Tried Expat and BBC… couldn’t find a way to adjust the video quality like I can on NBC. My podunk internet just couldn’t handle the higher quality wihtout lots of breaks and stops.
Day 1 BBC Dressage video stream?
Ok, here’s the stream of the first day of eventing dressage on BBC:

(yes, you have to install expat shield to see this)
Anyone know what breed the Italian horse is?
Some spectacular lightning going on!
I too gave up on NBC and am now watching the BBC. It is sooo much better!
I loved the hugs that Karin Donckers gave to her mare Gazelle de la Brasserie after their test. Lovely test, and so wonderful to see such an affectionate and happy partnership between horse and rider at this level.
Also can’t wait to watch the feed from earlier to see the aforementioned pony from Ireland. 
Watching Jung’s ride now… doesn’t look that much better than PD… apparently the judges disagree.
I guess we’re waiting for the weather. Man I hurt - I’m nursing a horse bite. Gelding decided to have a go at mare just as I’m putting her halter on. I’ve got teeth marks either side if my upper arm. Screamed like a stuck pig. Gelding was mortified - little bastard.
I really agree, archieflies. I guess Philip forgot to be German. 
I thought the judges were overly generous to Jung and Sam.
I like this current pair for Japan! What a fantastic ride!
How does one block the ads that seem to have come along with Expat Shield???
