Bad news.  ChannelSurfing is gone.  Its owner was arrested for illegally transmitting content on the web.  How am I supposed to watch the Bobcats now?

This isn't surprising. ChannelSurfing was clearly illegal, which is why I refused to watch it, with the exception of one game where I had paid for the right to watch the game, but the legal feed had severe technical issues.

You can easily watch the games this year if you subscribe to the official MAC webcasts. A season subscription isn't that much, is legal, and for most games, the quality is superior to what ChannelSurfing delivered.

I would except they don't offer it on my TV via the internet.

...also, the webcast is, well, webcast quality, which means not by any stretch of the imagination close to TV. It is grainy, jerky, with periodic technical glitches. Don't pay for a webcast unless you are willing to accept low quality. Still, you can see what is happening, and get a feel for the game that you can't with just radio, so some may find this an acceptable solution.
