Football, sprint football, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's ice hockey, wrestling and men's and women's lacrosse will have all home games/dual meets broadcast on RedCast, with audio also available for road contests for football, men's basketball and men's lacrosse contests. Additionally, select events in other sports will also be made available for broadcast on a game-by-game basis. A men's soccer package that includes audio only will be available for home games. Additional contests are expected to be added, with volleyball, baseball, gymnastics and other sports likely to have games broadcast.

No road audio for hockey, or is that just an oversight?

An oversight, it seems. It now lists men's ice hockey:

It better be, or they are going to need bomb detection equipment.

They really can't stop you on that one. Even if they can, I don't see why they would go to the trouble of programming the new Red Cast so it wouldn't transfer through an HDMI cable to your big screen. If anything its just going to be that the quality, as always, won't fail to disappoint.

Anyone watch sprint football friday to see what the quality is like (or to watch a five hour game)? It doesn't look like it's archived...help

Also, either I'm getting really old or the new interface is tough to look at/navigate.

I watched ten or fifteen minutes of the game last week. The quality of the stream was certainly a significant step up from the hockey redcast last year. I didn't try watching any of the video on my phone or tablet, I'll probably try it out on a football game some time in the next few weeks.

I watched a good chunk of what turned out to be a wild game. Broadcast quality is far superior to what we've been used to. More cameera angles as well. My only real complaint is that the director should stick with the "longer" view camera that takes in more of the field. Far too often they go with the close-up cameras and we end up missing part of the play.

200% better than any sprint video I watched in the past. I was heading out the door to attend the game when I heard thunder. Saved me hanging around for what turned out to be a 2 hr weather delay. So I particularly appreciated the fact that I could drink beer in my jammies in my living room to watch a pretty decent Redcast broadcast of the game.

Still not archived. Video quality may be improved, but service isn't.

That would make me incredibly happy if someone knows how to set up a private channel for that, or just knows the steps to make it happen individually. I use Plex Media Server for files that are on my computer to stream, but that doesn't work with live streaming events.

You're never going to be able to extract the stream to another service without the Flash layer handling authentication. You might be able to use something like Jaksta to archive the stream as it's coming in and if you can directly share that file out yourself you may be able to make something work.

Or if you have a recent Mac and an AppleTV you could just use AirPlay to stream your whole display to your TV ;)

My point here is that if it were available on Roku and Apple TV they should be able to increase the audience. How hard this is would determine if it was economically viable.

Its probably more of a question of whether or not it'd be worth Roku's time to maintain the channel (i.e. would it bring in enough new users). My initial instinct is no, but given some of the other stuff they have on there...

When I was watching the sprint video it showed no score. Linking to live stats via the sprint football schedule, live stats shows Cornell up 20-0 as the second half starts.

Still no video even though second half has started. And the weather is not that bad. It is drizzling with no lightning, etc.

Glad I didn't believe the press and buy a season pass. When others confirm the video of actual hockey games is more reliable and looks decent, then I'll give them some money.

Fool me twice... can't get fooled again.

What gets me most this year is that the archiving is worse than ever. There are literally two archived videos from the fall season. One of which is the Princeton sprint game that was unwatchable. At least in the past there was a reasonable expectation that if you miss a game you can watch it later. I have little faith that will be the case this year.

I "contacted" Sidearm at 6:40 and they said the game starts at 7. Then they put up an "announcement" to that effect on the Redcast page. 7:08 and still no audio or video.

Funny I never get this wretched service when I watch away games at other schools' webcast providers (e.g., Bucknell football).

Just viewing the new interface for the first time. Is it possible get the video to be full screen? I can get the redcast page to be full screen, but half of it is stats

(Not sure if it's worth it to watch the video anyway -- the zamboni has been jumping around the rink.)

Brock Hockey was fine on my setup tonight. Fairly sharp, ran smoothly. I like the roster with stats on screen, but the clock in that frame doesnt run realtime, and the power play on the five minute major looked as bad it looked on the old Redcast. Overall much better aside from the archiving issues already pointed out. I checked the Harvard lacrosse game on the archives and that resolution was horrible. [Pointing left, then right] GOOD Redcast....BAD Redcast...

I see roughly the same quality (not HD) on both Android and my desktop. It looks smoother on Android, and less blurry simply because the screen is smaller. They still have work to do.

I really have to wonder if anyone at Sidearm or the AD actually uses their own product. It has really fundamental usability issues that should be caught in about 15 minutes of user testing. I repeat something I said on Facebook a few days ago: "If you talk to people who actually write software, you find that computers are the way they are because writing software is neat. Programmers don't actually care what users think."

None HD picture tonight, same picture as all previous years. I think every time the camera pans left the plug comes out and the screen goes black. I have finally just started to laugh about this service. My guess is no ones job is on the line concerning any part of this production.

This has to be a joke. I can't even get the thing to work, on any browser. No video, no sound. Yet a pop up box tells me when I log on that "all technical difficulties have been fixed". Yeah right.

Very good announcer.

I'm speaking empirically. Of course I care what my users think, but I'm a single developer with a user base of about 100. From experience in larger organizations, I know this attitude dominates: developers *claim* to care what users think, but they don't act in accordance with that, which means they don't really care.

i will second that.. stay around cornell enough and you can see it.. programmers think everyone "think" like they do but dont bother to actually find out. Its also a case of the only thoughts that matter is how fast can i get this done.

And I'll give it a third. Being in the middle of switching to EMR (electronic medical records) I'm sure that the systems were never tested in the real world. Three, out of six, of us have quit trying to use the system, and have gone back to straight dictating and have the transcriptionists stick them into the proper sections. The systems look like they were developed to fill in all the blanks so you could bill the maximum code possible. They are not meant to maximize patient care.

I know there are good systems out there, the VA has one; but those were developed in house by large organization like Mayo and Cleveland Clinic. What a difference it might make if the software designers would just spend a week with a group of MDs as they see patients.

While I was the Director of System Services at Georgetown Hospital we developed a partial EMR in the early/mid 90s! Best features, IMHO, were the bedside order entry and results reporting (the platform was cutting edge client server with Sun Workstations, SQL back ends, and legacy anciallary system interfaces). Our design assertion was that cost savings came from directly presenting the ordering physician quick and full access to med and test orders and results from past outpatient and in patient episodes or care.

You were absolutely correct. The things that have been useful in outpatient practice are access to hospital records online, and the ability to merge some lab results. If they had forgotten about fully EMR and made it mandatory that all lab, Xray, path, etc. results were available online, and that they were uniform in reporting, so that they could easily be imported into everyones EMR, that would have improved care and reduced costs. (What a terrible sentence)

Jim, sure could have used a voice of support like yours from the outpatient side back then. We were so far ahead of the curve on EMR that we faced heavy headwinds from many docs and even senior hospital administrators. You would have loved the lab results reporting, it was spreadsheet like with episodes (dates of care) as columns and rows as test results. The was a great benefit to patients coming in through the ER. It also supported practioner specific custom views. There was also a very early PACS system that the Radiology Dept was piloting. We brought low res proxies to the bedside from that.

A huge problem then as now is nomenclature and codification. Hard to fuse a lifetime care record from multiple entities. I was involved in an ARPA project around the same time that looked to bridge this divide among the participant institutions.

Alas, I became disenchanted an left healthcare IT in 1997. So interesting that I can jump right back in as the landspace remains much the same. Sigh.

I didn't wade entirely through that very lengthy article, but there was a heavy implication that there is a large number of doctors gaming the system.

Truth be told, the reason for "hospitals and physicians to bill more for their services, whether or not they provide additional care" is not because they are billing for care not rendered, but rather that they were previously underbilling for services that they did render. This occurred because the coding rules are unfathomably complex, AND the rules change every year. As Jim points out, many of the EMRs are structured so that the docs don't leave payments they deserve for care they did provide on the table because of inexpertise with the coding rules.

In my opinion, it's not that the billing piece of EMRs are set up to increase undeserved income. Rather, they are set up to minimize the impact of a reimbursement system that is transparently structured to provide convenient ways for payors to evade fair reimbursement for work actually done through a complex system of regulations and deadlines with penalties for the "Gotcha" type of infractions that inevitably follow. cusscuss

Video quality is WAAAAAAAY better now. This is HD. Someone must have found the good video/bad video switch. (It's inside the doll next to the good/evil switch.)

And let it not be said that I never give credit where credit's due. I may also throw in an "it's about time" or "WTF took you so long??", but this alum greatly appreciates the upgrade.

To these eyes, it looks better than 360p, but maybe that's because it looks so much better than the 36p they had before.

We got our money's worth today, with hockey and with the Cornell Princeton football game (Cornell 37-35). Good quality video. Football feed was solid most all game long (unlike the Princeton and Cornell defenses). Some of the graphics are too aggressive ("What does this SFX widget do? Ooh, nice, now let's push the flame surfacing slider all the way to 10. Huh, now that the bear is on fire, let's make him rotate like a barber pole." ) Cornell right now is like a HS graphic design student design class just handed a pack of 100 royalty fonts. Of course you're going to use them all. Why should ransom notes have all the fun?

It actually was much better Saturday. The women's game was awful quality video for me, but the men's game looked much more high quality in real time. (Admittedly, I haven't looked at the archives for Saturday yet.)

I was in B with a friend and we were both appalled by how long it took to get the player off. It must have been a half-hour before they finally got her to the ambulance.

Announced attendance was over capacity. Certainly empty seats, and late comers; much like Lynah.

It was pretty much full. There were a few empty seats here and there, but no empty sections that stuck out. It was probably as full as could be reasonably expected for an arena of that size.

This product has had a multiple problems on every broadcast this year. Last home game it froze up 3 - 5 times a period. Tonight the audio is screwed up. Instead of freezing up tonight it just kicks you off and you have to log on again. 3 times in the first, twice in the second. Has anyone else noticed that the HD picture has been downgraded from the first game of the year? We put an hdmi cable to the ipad and watch it on the big screen. Picture I think went from 1080 or 720 to 480p, which is what is coming through tonight.

I actually only noticed one game that appeared to my eyes to be truly HD: that would be the second Colorado College game. Other than that, it has varied from last year's awfulness to "decent" like it is tonight.
