is there All access for hockey this year?

jaybert · October 26, 2006, 12:16:10 PM

signed up for all-access...decided to go w/ the $6.95/month instead of annually. Should come out a few dollars cheaper in the end (and I can ditch the service if quality is really bad).

So...for all access, is it possible to watch it in a standalone media player window? Or do I have to deal with this huge webpage that all access provides w/ the embedded video? I like to do other things while watching (or make it full screen if I choose)

Is there any way to find out whether or not I'm all set? I used my password updated to log in, but I can't access any archived content. Does that mean my subscription is expired or just that I don't have access to that particular content?

Thanks for any help!

Well I signed up yesterday and I was able to watch the football video from homecoming weekend this afternoon.

Edit: I also found out by accident that double clicking on the video gives you full screen

How much extra content does the $99 All Access provide for hockey. Are there other schools that broadcast video through All Access so you can watch games not otherwise availalbe on video (most importantly, schools Cornell will play this year).

so much for all access working...RM game said it was live, so i watched that stupid tundra commercial that goes on before...30 seconds later i get a screen saying that the game hasnt begun yet and to try back later (even though it states pregame starting @ 6:30)

I'm glad someone else had that problem too. I like confirmation. For what its worth, I don't hear audio either.

Neither yet. 7 minutes to go. The audio for the football kicked in about 5 minutes after game time last Saturday.

Chris, here's how you tell:

If you click on Live Game, but get only gibberish, it means you're signed up and it's not working right.

If you click on Live Game, but get nothing or gibberish, it means you're not signed up.

Hope that helps.

that doesn't seem to work for me. Bleh.

That sounds like the Some Access of years past. Turns out that even if you have an account and can log in, that doesn't mean that you are in good standing (and there appears to be no way to find out your account status online). I did call, however, and they fixed the problem pretty quickly (old credit card info).

LGR!
