@inrng @tourdownunder Non-MS users can watch live stream with VLC and pointing at mms://news.netshow.ninemsn.com.au/9MSNLive #tdu

@inrng @franreyesf Live stream looks to be using Windows Media plugin. No joy for Linux users sad Bring back @sbs & @CyclingCentral !!!

Sunday 15 January 2012

@ninemsn You're kidding! Propriety plugin means many can't see live stream of @tourdownunder. @CyclingCentral & @sbs did a much better job!

Saturday 14 January 2012

@CyclingCentral Why did @channel9 bother acquiring the rights to TdU if they are just showing highlights late at night? Put it back on @SBS!
