ESPN3 provides Live Streaming of professional sporting events. With streaming video becoming so popular ESPN has defiinitely taken notice and sees the large amount of interest in watching on-line sporting events.  The launch of ESPN3 is meeting the need of viewers wanting to watch Live Streaming on the favorite sports.   “The on-line viewing experience appears to be one of the best I’ve personally seen on the Web,” says Derrick Freeman, Instructor and Video Streaming and Compression Consultant for Freeman Compression Inc.  ESPN3 is a video streaming portal that allows viewing of Live Streaming and Replays with Live Chat and Stats.  For the Live Streaming you can watch one sporting event at full screen or up to four Live Streaming events in Mosaic View.  There is even a Picture-N-Picture view that you can use.

Recently, I had a chance to watch a few games from the NBA Playoffs and the experience is exceptional.  The quality setting can be adjusted manually or automatically to utilize the available bandwidth of the on-line viewer.  If you haven’t had a chance to check out ESPN3’s Live Streaming make sure you take it for a test spin.
