Title: Is CSTV All-Access worth it ?
Post by: Cop at Lynah on November 08, 2005, 08:45:14 AM
Trying to determine if the CSTV All-Access package is worth the $49.95.  Anybody who has purchased this package care to share their thoughts ?

It's about the same as buying monthly or game coverage, a little less, and if they mess up a single game you can get your money back on a single game charge, which you can't with an annual subscription.

But how much is life worth to save ten bucks a year?

The people who gripe about how bad All-Access is (me included) should convert some clock cycles into telling Cornell how bad it is and how Cornell should restructure its deal next time around, starting with the scummy auto-renewal deal and also including quality of game coverage, non-reciprocity with other All-Access schools (Cornell plays hockey at All-Access Rappahannock Tech, then we should get that feed in our subscription).

Sadly, there are not a lot of choices for Cornell. Although I still wonder if Cornell couldn't do a better website on its own than farming it out to CSTV.

When it works, yes.

Edit: However, between the feed problems lately, and the fact that you're part way through the season, I would significantly consider the monthly subscription.

The reliability and quality of the service seems to be decreasing.  I have it, but I used to pay $30 a shot to listen to feeds via speaker phone.

Worth it, but do monthly.  Season pass only makes sense if you started at the beginning of the football season.
