Watching Tonight's Presidential Debate Online

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the play-the-drinking-game dept.

farkinga writes "For those of us that no longer have a television, live TV events can be a challenge to watch. Fortunately, tonight's Presidential Debate has attracted the attention of most US broadcasters, many of whom will provide online viewing options. Leading the way is Hulu, a joint venture between NBC Universal and News Corp, who will stream the Fox-branded feed tonight — assuming they worked out the bandwidth issues that came up during the second debate!"

    I tried during the last debate to watch it on CNN.com/live but it appeared their video player didn't allow Ubuntu/Firefox to connect. After further research, they use some vbscript in their code. I'll definitely watch it, just not with CNN.

    Take a look at eztv.it: http://eztv.it/index.php?main=search - you can usually find debates available for download after the fact; either same day or at the most, the next day.
