Damn Blinko tv
took their link off to MSNBC. Any of you guys have a good alternative to getting MSNBC online? Got hooked to Keith and Rachel, and now they pull the plug.

3. It's funny
they've got a link to Fox News that never fails, but who wants to watch that crap? Not sure if NBC is coming down on them, or they just can't take the Obama revolution.

9. Hey..... Blinko is still pretty good and doesn't demand money


He's doing it out of his house.

2. They do that every now and then since I've been watching KO and R on Blinko

The "outage" lasts a week or so.

Unfortunately, they never get rid of FoxNews. Can't they replace FoxNews with something more informative, like the Cartoon Channel?

16. I like the Romanian Discovery Channel there
Its mostly British or American shows
FX is OK for mindless TV... that's the 'Watch films on line' channel

5. I have an audio stream for MSNBC but no picture

Its not a very powerful stream but it works until I can
find something better. I can't get the video to work yet
but its suppose to be there.

6. Blinko seems to alternate their stations every 2 weeks or so.
When I found them, they were showing MSNBC fairly steadily but now it is here and there. I e-mailed them and was answered with a very nice message that they were in fact trying to sell their services as a help to get you set up in broadcasting, not to be your connection to a particular channel. Nice enough but I wanted to reply and ask how come FAUX news is always there but I thought better of it. I cannot find anywhere to watch KO, have to watch it on the Countdown site the next night. Seems after the fact and I don't enjoy it as much.

10. My theory: Pressure by the cable companies who put MSNBC in the higher priced packages
only.

13. Go to MSNBC's web site, and you can get Keith & Rachel after the fact.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3096434/

Countdown and Rachel Maddow usually come on about 1.5-2 hours after it starts live.

So Keith is on at 6PM Mountain time, and that episode goes on the web site about 7:45PM Mountain time.

15. I think MSNBC searches out sites and shuts them down

I can get most other channels online live and free.
