Nothing yet audio or video....

Who else is "NOT AT LYNAH" this weekend and going to be very pissed off if audio/video is not available soon.

At 7:02 I get only b-ball audio. No video for hockey, b-ball, or wrestling. Typical.

B-ball video up at 7:03--but that's a nationally-televised game on YES. Oops, now gone at 7:04.

cornell audio is up, no vid yet.

at 7:05 I'm getting audio but no visual.

Maybe Age can add the CSTV "lack of customer support number" on the side.

I can get the Dartmouth feed but the audio is very low and I can barely hear it, Meanwhile I'm on hold with CSTV who thinks I'm calling about Boston University. Why do you think she got mad when I yelled CORNELL in her ear?

Audio is up, checking video on another computer.

So, I am in the car at 6:55, afraid that I'd be late for the opening face off, and upset that I am home instead of at Lynah this weekend...and I come home and find nothing.
and then I had a thought.

I know we've all, at some point in the season, emailed or called CSTV customer service. Obviously, that's of no help at all since there seems to be a real disconnect between the guy answering the phone and anyone with any technical knowledge over in Ithaca. Customer service reps don't particularly care, it's just their job to answer the phone. the most their managers can do is tell us "sorry, someone's looking into it." Maybe constantly calling/emailing customer service isn't the way to go.

Could we somehow bombard the Cornell Athletic Office with emails and phone calls over the summer about the shitty quality? Somehow, convince them that if they're going to contract out the audio/video to some outside company, that we should at least be able to see the video that we're paying for, while avoiding any mention of the happier days with Age running the Lynahcam. Happy alumni are more likely to fork over money than unhappy and pissed off alumni.
I understand that we're probably in a difficult situation for any sort of leverage since they control who will be broadcasting.

Like I said, just a thought, no way thought out in detail. If anyone has any better ideas and can run with it, feel free to offer any other suggestions. This gets more and more ridiculous each year.

Video Up.

CSTV Customer Support
866-259-8973
I'm on hold - "all agents (probably one) are assisting other calls"
