Big thanks to lawdawg02

For providing the link to the free game coverage. Made my day at work alot better yesterday.

Was the picture quality terrible for anyone else? I've been watching Raycom games on Yahoo for years and yesterday was the worst picture quality I've seen. Maybe it was all you newbies who just found the feed that killed the bandwith...thanks lawdawg02!?!

although, they automatically detect your speed and select the quality based on your speed. You can still change it if you want.

It got a little grainy when I expanded to the full screen view but it was still pretty good.

There's a link above the video for "picture quality" or some such... although, I think it knows at what speed you're connected and adjusts the picture quality accordingly. Ours was fine, but we were getting an extremely high speed connection.

It seemed like the UM/UK game came in well, then our game started and I had to cut it down to 100K streaming just to get it to not freeze every 2 minutes.

 

[dawgstudent]

a lot of people might not have cared about the OM game but when State was on and if you work in a predominantly State office, your bandwidth could have been used by other people.

was MUCH better on espn360.com You can watch it there today as well. I tried the Yahoo link and 360 was much better especially in full screen mode.

I'm in FL and got a message that I'm in the blackout area.

 

[lawdawg02]

this is actually my first year to NOT be able to watch the tourney. our IT idiots decided that since our bandwidth is so precious, each computer only gets 10 minutes of streaming video/audio per day, then it cuts you off. apparently, people were listening to pandora and internet radio and leaving it on all day.

so, i'll just have to bite the bullet again today - tivo the game at home, and try to actually be productive this afternoon, which means i'll have to stay away from the pack (and other sites so as to avoid seeing a score). sucks for me...

I was using it in Starkville, and I agree the picture was much better than I've ever gotten out of the Yahoo feed.

It was also nice to be able to switch to other games during timeouts. It wasn't taking long to load.</p>

Yesterday was my first time ever seeing a game on the internet. My picture was a little grainy in both the small and large version at home and work.

Some internet providers do not allow you to watch video on 360, but if you have an approved provider at your house, you can do a remote log in. 360 will guide you through that process when you try to click on the game. My office connection does not allow 360, but I have Verizon at home, so I was able to do the remote log in and watch from work.

 

[graddawg]

all that and have used 360 in the past. All I'm saying is, when I tried to watch yesterday's game I was told I was in the blackout area.
