Re: Web feed problems - 19 years ago
I blame XMI regardless. There is no excuse for continual feed disruptions. 99% uptime should be the service standard. THey are not even close to this. If you can't do it right then don't do it. THere's got to be some engineering grads out there that could blow XMI away with a new company to replace them. This is amateur hour. Also if they had any decent FAQ suggesting a reinstall I wouby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Web feed problems - 19 years ago
XMI's lost feed corrupted my Windows Media PLayer, which I had to reinstall per their instructions...rebooting didnt work. Here is their email to me....so much for taking responsibility for shit service...I missed the entire third period. ============= I am sorry that you missed so much action, Arik.

FWIW if your system totally croaked XMI told me i had to remove windows media nad reinstal it. This worked, but I missed the whole fucking third period. Emails going to the AD and to the ECAC office later in complaint. XMI's feed loss corrupted windows! Which I'll blane on XMI. Either way, XMI SUCKSby abmarks - Hockey

Re: Letter to CSTV about ECACHL Tournament Coverage - 19 years ago
Adam- Thanks for the update. I am sure that the league had to work hard. That doesnt mean that we have to be happy about theresult. Had many people not blistered both the network and the league I'm sure we wouldn't even havegotten the tape-delay changed. But you raise an interesting point. Our beef should be with the NCAA and CSTV. I don't think it will do much good, but what if peopby abmarks - Hockey

Re: Refs For This Weekend - 19 years ago
After being at Gutterson for the entire UVM-Dartmouth series I'll say this about Dell. He's fair. Translated that means he completely sucks but his errors even out. Everyone that I sat with agreed he was awful, missing right in the face calls and calling things that weren't penalties as well.

Al- I forgot about that part when I fired off my missives to the ECACHL. At least I don't care about catching the gate-Harvard game. It would be good to watch, but not a must-see for me. But I really want to watch the Cinderalla story on the hoop...by abmarks - Hockey
Don't watch Syracuse-UVM! - 19 years ago
This just occurred to me: If you are planing on watching the hockey game at 10pm on CSTV, DO NOT watch the Syracuse - UVM basketball game at 7!

The game is now on CSTV at 10pm on tape delay the same night - a slight improvement. Below is the email response I received from the ECACHL a little while ago after writing a nastygram. Eveybody, lets not stop fighting- send nastygrams to the league and to CSTV all the way up and until game time on Friday. They acknowledge that its the fan dupport that got this done with emails and calls!. Wrby abmarks - Hockey

It'd be great to have it on CSTV, but I bet the schools and leagues have accepted the internet broadcast. Afterall, it is actually much more widely available than CSTV.

Re: Fans say less doubt on Cornell-Vermont game (USCHO) - 19 years ago
I was at all three of the UVM-Dartmouth games over the weekend and we definitely shouldn't overlook this game. I've only seen 3 or 4 cornell games this year, but Dartmouth struck me as a very similar team to Cornell. They played big, hit hard and played defensively. I think it foreshadows our matchup with UVM. If Dartmouth had any offense or special teams going they would have won the gamesby abmarks - Hockey
Re: Game vs. Vermont televised? - 19 years ago
Anyone know if a bar in say, Boston, can *pick off* the live game feed on friday? It's not being picked up on cable here. Can you hook onto the CSTV feed that is going out over the bird to the cable companies?by abmarks - Hockey
