Have you tried watching it on the website preview, and then starting up Livestation to see if it connects? It fixes it most of the time for me.

BTW, the version is 2.0.18 incase there sa version difference for mac and pc There's a few approaches you can try. First off, this might seem totally obvious and I don't mean to offend you by asking this, but are you in fact running an Intel Mac? The Intel version of the software won't work on an older (PowerPC) Mac but Livestation has just released a PPC version of their software as well. Now that I've gotten that question out of the way (sorry, I just want to cover all the bases), let's talk about the Intel Mac software on an Intel Mac machine. davidyko and I are also running Intel Macs with Livestation. He was able to get his stream to work after starting up the channel preview for TBS on the Livestation website within his browser. After that, he would turn on the Livestation software and the stream would start working again for him. Give that a try and see if it works for you first. I personally didn't have any luck with that approach. I still would get a message that said that the stream was unavailable. I could view the preview stream in my browser (with Flip4Mac installed), but it didn't help me connect from within the Livestation software. I decided to try to reinstall the software. About that time the new update (2.0.18) came out so I updated the software instead of downloading and reinstalling. Now I am getting the TBS stream every time I connect with no problems yet. I couldn't tell you whether or not it works now because of the update or because it was a fresh install. You may want to reinstall the software yourself if nothing else is working.By the way, I also have a request in on the Livestation support forum about this very same issue and one of their engineers are currently looking into this. I haven't told them that my stream is working now so let's see what they come up with. You can also view the thread I posted there and even ask your own questions since we have been experiencing the same difficulties (or at least I used to). www.livestation.com/forum/categories/5-performance/posts/1396-stream_works_in_livestations_browser_preview_not_in_applicationWorst case scenario, if you can at least view the preview channel stream in your browser you may still be able to watch the entire Sasuke tournament that way even if the Livestation software doesn't work out. You can even change your settings in Flip4Mac that will allow it to open in it's own Quicktime window that you can then resize and have full control over. Of course, that's a worse case scenario so let's see if any of these other solutions work first.  |

Yeah, the 2.0.18 update is pretty awesome when it comes to improving connectivity. In fact, I would recommend doing that first, rather than the work-around I suggested.
