George,

Glad to hear your setup works.

This is the wrong year to defend the Dawgs so I will defer to better
days ...

ESPN360 now works in VirtualBox.

Details on my setup:
- VirtualBox Personal Use Edition (not OSE) 3.0.10
- Windows XP guest OS
- DirectX enabled in VirtualBox
- VirtualBox Guest Additions installed in guest OS (3.0.10 ... with experimental DirectX enabled)
- Very latest Move player from ESPN360 in guest OS
- Arch Linux, all the latest packages

The only proper reason to watch ESPN360, of course, is to watch the RAMBLIN' WRECK FROM GEORGIA TECH! THWG!

Solaris,

I have not tried recently. I'd expect it to still work. I'll check it out this weekend and let you know. BTW, VirtualBox is now version 2.1.2 with improved performance and graphics so I am expecting even better things. If you've upgraded too be sure to reinstall the guest additions to the latest version as well.

Does this still work for you? I was able to watch the Wisconsin Badgers in September/October/November, but then in December I was not able to get the bowls. The video wouldn't display. The ESPN360 player window pops-up with all of the menu choices, just no video or audio. I wasn't sure if ESPN did something to block the video on virtual machines.
