Not sure.

I think they have built in pauses and resets.

They said something a few minutes ago about 9 minutes to go, so I don't know what's going on with the timer.

Thanks for the link. Guy just said they're ready to go...

No idea. The link is working for me on the link conor108 provided - I did Ctrl + F and looked for 'watch nasa TV' as it wasn't obvious where it was

T-9 minutes, but I heard something about 46 minutes delay as well. Very confused.

I heard the guy from Astronomy Ireland saying that you could see the shuttle going over Ireland shortly after take-off tonight (and he said you might be able to see the fuel tank close by), but according to heavens-above.com the shuttle will not be visible tonight as it will be in the Earth's shadow...

"Unfortunately, this time there will be no
opportunity to see the Shuttle and the external tank from Europe just after launch.
Atlantis will enter shadow just as it rises above the horizon as seen from British Isles."

Guess someone is going to have egg on their face tonight, hehe.
