Default Even More Content From Mazingo

http://www.mazingo.net/pc/index.php

Mazingo has added yet another channel to their lineup of downloadable video content. Now, subscribers can view daily sports highlights from the FOXSports.com network.


"The new FOXSports.com Channel on Mazingo will offer unique, exclusive and compelling content from the vast array of FOX Sports and Fox Sports Net programming, plus other unique content acquired specifically for this partnership. Collectively, the broadcast and cable properties which FOX controls broadcasts more than 4000 pro and college sports games, and hundreds of hours of sports related shows yearly..."

Boo-yah! If you're a sports fanatic, this sounds like a VERY cool way to keep up to date with the day's events. I may just have to give this a try.

I have had a lot of trouble with Mazingo on my dell Axim. When it works it's great, but it doesn't work too often.

Mazingo rocks and just keeps getting better

BTW, the only real way to use Mazingo when downloading audio or video content is with a storage card reader. I've never had a problem with it (actually my only problem is that my SD card is only 128meg) :cry:

I tried the Fox Sports video channel and Pocket TV was unable to open the files properly. I also looked at the file types in file explorer and they were of an unknown type.

Fox or Mazingo needs to work on this channel. I am able to view other video channels (like Extra).

Anyone have the same problem?

Is that for both the text and video service? My video service works ok, but the text service takes literally 20 minutes to decompress the download text. It ties up the Axim in the process. The older program would decompress in the background and let you look use your PPC while you waited.

Default Mazingo

I've been fighting signing up for Mazingo for nearly a year now. Perhaps it's time to give in.

Default Mazingo and WebSense

I think that Mazingo is pretty slick. I don't really like the sync "applet" but besides that, it's nice.

But, I can't use it at work. My company uses WebSense to block adult and unsavory content. Since Mazingo has adult channels, the entire media site gets blocked for "sexuality".

Does anyone else have this problem?

I've never tried Mazingo's Video service, but love their free text service. I really like the fact that they let creators post their stuff on their website. I do a couple of schedules for sports teams and love that I can post them in Mazingo's directory rather than having to tell other people to how to add it as a custom channel like I've always had to do with Avantgo.
