So for those of us who couldn't make it to Le Mans this year just thought I would pass the time to see what everybody at home has as a set-up.

I'm planted on the sofa for the next 24hr's with the tv turned up loud, radio le mans on comp with timing screens, two crates of beer and a pile of takeaway menus at the ready to try and give me the le mans food experience.

So what are you rocking at home!?

I've got an apartmet full of people, football on one tv (this is Brasil after all), Le Mans on another, live timing on my Mac and trying to keep up with the F1 via various other things. There will be a third tv soon with the F1 on.. Lots of moving about being done here... No booze yet as it's just gone midday and I'm a lightweight of epic proportions!

Sat in the garden having a beer, with the PC streaming Radio Le Mans, Eurosport TV feed, Audi TV feed, Flying Lizard team radio feed, and then flipping between PH and the Le Mans Chrono screens

First time I've missed going in last ten years, and quite enjoying it here actually!?

Watched on HD TV until the F1 started.

Later on I'm going into the games room with a couple of bottles of wine to watch on my big projector screen and although not broadcast in surround sound, through all the speakers. Can't have the loud button up too loud as it may wake the kids frown

Been having text chat with the guys out there keeping them up to speed. I hope that I'm not lining myself up for a yearly text session if I can't make it!

I can't seem to get the flying lizard radio feed to work, it loads the page but wont play any sound, very annoying!

Does it open in your web browser in windows media player, since I though it wasn't working until at first but saw "If you see this, you are connected. We may not be talking at the moment." at the bottom.

It opens in a new browser window and when i press play nothing happens.

Opens in media player for me - but there are several periods of quiet for sure.
