Which is the best squawk box?

[jearnest]

The player withit used to have a memory leak and I have had similar experiences with other players...ie it is not easy to tell the delay increase unless you have a dial up next to it to tell.

Hmmmmm,

Interesting. The delay can be for a reason other than a memory leak though. Unless the disk started thrashing, it would not affect it.

Voice over IP has many of these problems...

Quote from LordMelbury:

As far as i know their are three squawk box providers

Ben Liechtenstein

Losnet

Xsquawk

So which is the best in terms of speed when relaying information on when paper is coming in and any other important info?

Try them and see what style you like best. Ben is like an auctioneer, and I prefer X-squawk because it's easier for me to hear the bid/offer clearly. I haven't noticed any difference in the background action.

I listened to the xsquawk.
I was looking for a direct news feed more than hearing the pits.

Anyone know of a decently priced service?
