Live video feed

[Crikey]

I've been poking around the internet trying to find a good live feed source for the TdF. There are a number of pay sites, and some that are available for free but that seem to block out the last 15 minutes or so of the stage (I found these on http://www.steephill.tv/tour-de-france/#live, but many are blocked). Can anyone recommend a good (and complete) free source, or failing that, a good and inexpensive pay site? Thanks.

It changes every day and often every hour as rights holders shut down the feeds. Steephill and justin.tv are good.

Any idea why they offer the feeds and then shut them down during the broadcast? Any for-pay sites that are worth subscribing to?

Good Paysite

I purchased the "Tour Pass" from versus. It was only $35 for the entire Tour and includes live coverage as well as Video-on-demand for the entire Tour if you miss anything. They had a few bugs with the VOD player at first, but those appear to be mostly worked out. Also, if you don't want to purchase the whole Tour, I think you can purchase live stages for $2.95; overall, though, I'd say the $35 package is well worth it. Far cheaper than satellite/cable.

Happy viewing!
