No giro on TV?

Is the Eurosport subscription worth it? I am thinking of having a month of it. Can you have full screen?? And is quality decent?

 

[Priscilla Parsley]

we got the subscription, it's way better thamn the streaming off other sites, not full screen as far as i can see, we had some problems with the audio, but Elvis figured it out.

I'd rather listen to Cassani - is there an Italian version of that Eurosport player?

 

[willhub]

I dont think I'm going to bother now, dont think it is worth paying 34 quid a year or 4 quid a month for something that is so small I cant see it a meter away from the monitor.

Signed up for the player - goes full screen (it's an option in the player's control bar) and quality seemed ok to me. (My broadband is provided by BT, wireless connection from homehub to an Advent netbook).

So can you 100% confirm Eurosport Player is indeed capable of full screen?

Sorry for repeating to get a repeat sort of but I need to be 100% sure, don't fancy wasting £5/

I use Mozilla Firefox, and on my browser/player, there's an option to view full screen. On the netbook (because it's a widescreen display) this doesn't fill the screen (goes to full height, in 4:3 ratio) but yes, I can click the full screen option and get a large picture. Watched it whilst doing the washing up last night, as the standard size (embedded player) would have been too small to see from the sink.

I don't know if I should try it.

On the sample in IE8 I cant select full screen or any zoom.
And FF wont work even with plugin installed, that is probably because I'm running Windows 7 but I ain't downgrading to Vista.

Well, unless Eurosport give me a commission, I'll not try to convince you then ;-)

Damm, watched "Giro" on Justin TV, then when it just finished discovered this website with universal/NBC tv, and found the picture was far superior. At least I saw the replays of the finish in better clarity with no stuttering.
