What with the Billions Nasa have spent on this I am disappointed with the lack of high quality video and photo streams.
That said it was very exciting to watch, but hardly 21st century with the media delivery, It was all a bit 1980's. I'm sure most here could do better.

It never stuttered for me.
does sky Boroadband throttle? might of been that.
No problem with the 1200 feed here. No frames lost in the last three hours.

I'm on Be/O2. It wan't that.
The total mission cost is somewhere around $900m and HD video of the launch is available. If you want to complain about the lack of HD feeds in the UK, complain to US Congress. I doubt they'll listen though.

Fantastic to watch - must be amazing to actually be there and experience the sheer power!
The link in the OP mentions that the shuttle program is being phased out next year.
What happens after then?
I assume the Space Station has still got a few years left so how will missions be run?

1200 was fine for me! 
That was spectacular. Gutted that it went out of range just seconds before they released the main booster.

They have chutes fitted.
