It’s official: Cox to offer ESPN360 in Orange County
September 25th, 2009, 5:05 pm · 5 Comments · posted by Tamara Chuang, a.k.a. The Gadgetress
Cox Cable in Orange County will start offering free access to ESPN360.com beginning Sept. 30.
The site launched in August with cable provider Comcast Corp. It provides live coverage of several types of sporting events, from college football and NBA basketball games, the FIFA World Cup and golf’s U.S. Open. The site says it offers more than 3,500 live global sports a year.
But ESPN360 may be overlooking the fans who appreciate sports the most: HDTV viewers. Access is limited to Cox Internet subscribers — business and residential customers included.
So, don’t expect big-screen TV action here unless you have a large computer monitor. Users must sit in front of their PC to watch games. At least widescreen and standard options are available. Users will also be able to pause, fast forward and rewind the video.
ESPN360 can deliver 15 simultaneous live events and viewers can toggle between games in a main viewing window. Besides the live games, there are also archived events.
Cox users will be able to access the site on Sept. 30. The notice about the new feature is available HERE (thanks Jim!).

Here's a list of TV/mobile companies helping consumers one tweet at a time. 
Who gives cable systems a dime since Verizon wired us with fiber?
Maybe those who don’t even know its there.
I’ll continue to pay less to a company I hate, instead of paying more money to one I can not stand even more!
K77
Already have it via AT&T
GOD!!!! Could you post something about anything other than Cable, FIOS, TW etc…. You used to have an interresting little column.
Hey yellow — It’s nice to know that someone read my column way back when because unfortunately, writing a generic tech blog just wasn’t attracting enough readers. But when it comes to TV service, people apparently want to know what’s up, which helps me meet the Reg’s web traffic goals internally (sigh). That said, I’m hoping to experiment with adding back some of that O.C. gadget flavor that was pretty fun to cover. Let’s hope other folks think so to.
what…TV sets are not gadgets??
