    when clicking on streaming video it says

    "Watch live games FREE! Today through April 14th.

    See all 12 teams play live over nine games FREE! during the first two weeks of the season."

    Could it mean they're being taken off the servers on that date? The language quoted could mean that, too.

    Crazy how we were just prasing S&S on mls net for it being free. But since it looks like they wont show anymore games on FSC then I think this is the way I'll have to go. How much will it costs hopefully not as much as DK and if cheap I'll sign up either with DK or with S&S on mlsnet. Damn the bad news just keeps rolling in fisrt no games on fsc then now we're not sure if will be able to see games on S&S.

    this is really diappointing. kind of inevitable though. I do have to say, If it's inexpensive I'd pay for the chance to watch online. If it's per-game though, not worth it.

    I can't even get the S&S page to load for me tonight. Between the failure to load, the news FSC won't be showing any MLS matches and the fact that I'll have to pay to see the games on my cruddy little computer screen, it's a crappy night for me and MLS. Plus, Adelphia doesn't offer Driect Kick. So, I'm basically screwed as a MLS fan.

    This is the only way I can honestly stay up to date on the league. I'd pay for it but I doubt many others can afford it. Theres no way in hell theyll get new fans like this. They better have a pretty nice tv contract for 2007 or I can see this going downhill.

    Dissapointing if true. If it's inexpensive, I'll probably pay.

    It used to be shown at 800 k/b per second..now its 350, and the quality sucks. They gotta fix that if they want to charge people.

    I got a few people in England interested in the Revs during the last EPL offseason, so interested that some continued to watch even when the EPL started back up. Looks like they won't be able to do that anymore. :(

    Did you try the link at MLSnet? Or is the problem that you can't get a feed? It's really lagging right now..its at 190k/b!!!!

    Based on what I'm hearing right now from you guys, thank GOD I decided to get Direct Kick this season.

    I'm sorry but one thing I just can't stand are crappy internet video feeds.
