Better video (but CSTV still sucks)

Had a business dinner in Texas, couldn't watch the Colgate at Cornell game live. Logged in around midnight to watch the re-broadcast. Couldn't link to the game at CSTV.com (no luck clicking today's, yesterday's, all games links) except going back to the Big Red sports site which means I saw the final score while clicking on the broadcast link. On CSTV.com, I could go to the basketball game rebroadcast without seeing the outcome of that game. Thus, CSTV still sucks.

The game quality, however, was pretty good, being taken off a commercial TV broadcast feed. Okay, it was the rebroadcast, not the live feed, that I was streaming, but it was clean with no dropouts, and this was while connected via a CDMA (Verizon) cellular card. So it looks as if there is some issue with the combination of the cameras Cornell uses (probably) and the quality of the feed from Cornell to the outside world most nights (likely) that's making the webcast so poor most nights.

Nice outcome. LGR.

I only had a couple of minor freeze-ups, but the resolution didn't seem as good as it usually is for the non-televised games.  My eyes actually hurt a bit until I got used to it.  The players' movement, jersey numbers and letters, etc.  weren't quite in focus.  Anyone else have this problem or know why this might be?
