Redcast List of "Grievances" (suggestions)

[Towerroad]

Anything that made Redcast suck less would be welcome. It is an embarrassment to our Alma Mater

The cost of the equipment to do this is next to nothing.. Cornell loses a lot of money running this project but the cost to provide better hockey feeds is just not a priority..

Does anyone really know how many subscribers there are.  Last I knew cornell would have to triple/quadruple the cost to come close to breaking even.   It would make sense to create a model that at least rewarded the sports that are really being watched with better feeds..

Maybe adding a chat box with user selectable avatars.

How about using the tried and true revenue generation method of selling advertising. I think the best customer would be CU, use the intermission time (which is completely wasted now) to make a pitch to the alumni. All those companies that advertise in the various Cornell magazines might also be interested. Replay could be brought to you by Citibank.

The audience, however small, has enough interest and disposable income to subscribe. There ought to be a community that is interested in appealing to this group.

Next time I'm in Ithaca, I will use East Hill Car Wash if I'm in need of a carwash. Except if you get the car washed in the winter just before the game then drive a couple hours home, the car looks exactly the same as if it never got washed.

All you need to care about is how your car looks in the parking lot near Lynah. The folks back in Jersey can look at your mess of a car and you can pretend you were off-roading.

Get it washed twice then it will take twice as long to get dirty.

I'd like HTML5 to replace Flash for the broadcasts.  But, more importantly, I'd like a consistently steady stream.

Man, what I wouldn't give for a video format I could stream on a phone. Also, They continue to feed us a video streaming resolution and bitrate from three to five years ago. I don't doubt that the commercial competitors all suck equally, but it feels like there's room in this space for someone to be _awesome_. Schools already lose money on this stuff, why not lose money and provide something that your alumni and player parents love?

I would like the games to look like they weren't filmed through a vaseline-smeared lens or lit by a 15 Hz strobe, and with the camerawork performed by someone who isn't drunk. Until the games look like ESPN3 video, they will get no more of my money. I've paid through the nose for shit for years with no improvement: no more.
