Title: Streaming video for all Albany games
Post by: sah67 on March 10, 2007, 05:03:49 PM
$6 a game, or $15 for all 4.

Let's hope we actually have our own team to watch.

Additionally, CSTV will be televising the championship game on Saturday.

I liked it better when the ECAC offered the webcast for free. It's bad enough they have a crappy ass tv deal, this is adding insult to injury.

Was that ever a video webcast, though?  This would be good news for me, since I'm dependent on webcasts here in Europe.  Except that I'll be in Louisiana this year.

I looked at the B2 site briefly. It looks like you need WMP10. That excludes the Mac users.. WMP9 is the last version available for Mac people.

Is CSTV televising the games again?

Only the championship game, IIRC.

I know there was a free webcast in 2005 because I couldn't get to Albany until Saturday. The three games that count were on tv in 2004 and I don't remember about last year.

Hey, remember when I cared about this? (Apologies to all those with the integrity to pay for the games anyway.)

I might have bought it, if I were going to be in a place to watch.  I did watch a RealVideo stream of the NESN broadcast in 1999.

Good news, Mac-heads... the webpage does recommend you download WMP10, but when I try the sample on my Mac with WMP 9, it works fine (well, sat on 'connecting for 30 seconds, but then buffered and played fine). And when I get info on the streaming file it says the audio and video codecs are WMP 9.

Not that I'm paying for this video, I'll just watch the title game on CSTV. But if you wanna, its an option.

I guess I should have waited longer than 20 seconds to see if it would connect :). I probably will not pay for this and will opt for the audio feeds from Q, Clarkson, SLU and Dartmouth. For those of  you who bought the month subscription for the Cornell-Dartmouth video, we still have a few more days left on it.

However, thanks for the update Fred!

FWIW, according to CHN (http://www.collegehockeynews.com/news/tvsked.php), CSTV is scheduled to televise both semi-final games, and the championship game, from Albany.

CHN can say that all they want, but until the listings CSTV reports to zap2it are updated to show ECAC tournament games at 4:30 and 8:00 instead of the women's NCAA semifinals (a certain song by the Anti-Nowhere League comes to mind...), I'd be prepared to pay for an internet stream.

USCHTV.com says the later game is on, but not the earlier. But someone I doubt it'd take priority over the women's Frozen Four. Unless they have an alternate feed?

So now we have 3 sources with 3 different answers. Are you sure this is not on Some-Access?

Are there really going to be more eyes on the women's frozen four than on the ECAC championships?  I find that hard to believe.  This seems like a bad business decision.  Not to mention it annoys the hell out of me.
