Notes:

* After the broadcast, I looked closer at the Sony site and found this:  "The USB streaming feature is not supported with the Windows Vista operating system."  The viewer did not tell us what operating system they were running, but I wonder now if it might have been Vista.

Robbie,

I think solution for Problem that you are facing with Flash player. Any time, you install some new plugins, you have to close all the applications that's using internet. In other windows you have browser and chat windows open. you have to completely release internet connection and acquire it, that will solve your problem. I had this problem before.
