Yes, I did. I watched it online, everything went well (concerning technology) until the end. The last 10 minutes or so of the actual funeral stopped a lot. I'm not sure how long they showed people filing out of the Tabernacle, but for me it only got worse (the stop/start thing), so after waiting for about 15 minutes I stopped watching it.
I especially liked Elder Holland's talk. Although I found it kinda weird when President Monson and President Hinckley spoke of him as Jim. I don't know, I just never thought of him as being a Jim. James, yes, but not Jim. Oh well.
It was a very nice service. I didn't get to hear the last song due to the stop/start thing on the Internet, but maybe I can google the song and read the words. President Faust wrote it.
It's times like these when I wished they'd sell cable a la carte. I'd spend $5.00 a month for the BYU channel if I could JUST get the BYU channel and not the rest of the cable junk.
EDIT: To all who still want to watch it, go to the link below. You can watch the BYU channel anytime online. Naturally it streams better on a high speed connection. The second site is programming info on President Faust. I connected a little early yesterday and they were doing a mix of talk exerpts and an interview with his biographer, and two professors from the Jerusalem Center. It was neat to hear more about the man, as well as what he taught.

I just did, and it's a Sunday here. So after the Sacrament Meeting and Sunday lessons, we all gathered and watched the late President Gordon B. Hinckley's funeral. When the Tabernacle Choir was singing the last hymn, and then a slideshow of Pres. Hinckley's life was shown, almost everyone in the chapel were sniffing. President Hickley's the MAN!

Sadly no, I am sure that it was very heartfelt and moving. I hope that if they have a rebroadcast that I am able to watch then.

I don't get the BYU channel, so wasn't able to watch. I don't know if it'll be rebroadcast, but I would think that it will be.

I watched it live over my lunch hour yesterday. Very moving and a wonderful tribute to a humble man.

No. I don't think I'll be able to watch it (unless it's on the internet). I'm in Australia. If anyone did watch it, please can you tell us any highlights?
