Tons of problems with the Club 24 web cams

If you are a Club 24 member, you might have noticed that the official web cams are not really working very well. The main web cam has been offline since 17:51 (40 minutes), and the other cams are equally bad. Often displaying static TV "snow", or simply not working at all.

This is a bit disappointing, because they were actually quite useful last year. In 2007 you had 3 live web feeds, instead just one this year - and they worked most of the time. Not only that, but they were also updated much faster than the LIVE TV feed, allowing you to watch events before they happened on TV.

This is how it looks this year:

This was how it worked in 2007:

Oh well, EuroSport's coverage is pretty good, and works great - even though I am streaming it from their website. I do have EuroSport, but Not EuroSport 2, so I have to watch Le Mans via a computer hooked up to my TV.
