Difficulty getting LIVE STREAM coverage this morning

Hi Elizabeth and everyone:
Thank you so much for all the links for our Figure Skating coverage.
I've been trying to watch the LIVE stream today and having difficulty. I've clicked on the links you supplied,
and I get the advertisement and about 5 sec. of the coverage and then the screen freezes and the message comes up that it's trying to RECONNECT.

Am I on the wrong link?
Anyone else having this problem?
Carol.

I have been watching everything live on the CBC since 7 a.m., Carol.

Sorry you're having trouble!

Try going from the links here: http://www.cbc.ca/sports/olympics/winter/figureskating

Are you trying to watch from a tablet rather than a laptop/desktop? It could be an issue of insuffient memory/bandwith/etc.

Carol, that's too bad. I know first hand how frustrating that is. Have you tried Google Chrome? I find that often works better for streams in my experience. CBC is a pain in the rear-end at times. I don't know why they have to make it so difficult, I really don't. They tend to upgrade their system too quickly and not for the average user.
