Ive had to use this before. In my experience, the viewing window cannot be maximized, which really sucks. So its a fairly small window. I know beggars cant be choosers, but it still blows!
If anyone figures out how to maximize the viewing window, be sure to post it!!
(Oh, they randomly throw ads up in the middle of play too.)

How is the quality on there typically? Good enough to stretch to a TV screen, or am I better of flipping on the radio and getting some stuff done around the house?

I watched games all saturday in the airport with this. some feeds are better than other...ie the kansas game wasn't as good as the ISU/Tech game as far as quality. I was able to expand both to full screen with no problem and didn't have any pop ups.

You can maximize the viewing screen. Just push X on some of the ads in the way and in the bottom right hand corner there is a full screen box to push that will maximize the screen. The ads also go away if you put it in full screen.

From my experience using it for NFL games i've been able to maximize it as if it was a youtube video, and than no ads pop up after that.

I've never seen random ads. I've only seen them appear during commercial times.

Really? I couldnt for the life of me figure out how to maximize it. (I stream tons of stuff from my laptop to my tv so im used to this process.) I have mediacom tv and Century link internet so I had to stream the Okie st game on First Row.
The quaility was so-so. Better than some things ive seen though!
My only major gripe was that I could absolutely not figure out how to get it maximized.
The browser wouldnt matter would it? I was using Firefox.

Quality really varies depending on the game and network, but usually if its on a network based off ESPN its been good.

I've never NOT been able to go full screen w/ First Row Sports. I watch EPL matches on there every week.

Used this to watch the football game at Missouri. It buffered like every 5 seconds. I think that's just my computer though. Hopefully it works better for me tonight!

Depends on how many links are provided. I use FRS for UFC events. And those are good enough to stretch.
