Skypecast of Grand Final?

There seems to be a skypecast of the Grand Final. However, from my hotel room it doesn't seem to work. Advice anyone?

At the risk of stating the obvious, you need to download Skype software for it to work. But I can't watch it either, cos I'm at work :(

I am using Skype and cant get it to work either. Its just telling me the call is failed.

Hmmmm, I've got in but it's absolute silence with occasional muzak and French-speaking people...

You need Skype version 3.2 or better for it to work but I get the feeling there's a technical glitch somewhere,

Incredible!!!!!!

They're speaking Turkish - I can hear a shower repair man speaking to a house wife...

Sounds like a bad, 1980s porn movies set-up.

3.8 I think...

What can you hear at the moment?

Shockingly, I can hear Turkish music now. Is this just me?
