ACC Network

Three Men's Basketball Games to be Televised on Time Warner Cable SportsChannel

Seeing That John Wildhack definitely does read the board, I will take full credit for getting the ball rolling with this.

And will also thank John for taking action. That is pretty freaking awesome.

There is some hyperbole/sarcasm in my credit taking - but also mixed with seriousness. Beware.

So how many people, who had access to time warner in NY, watched on their acc network extra?

Its so frustrating, of our first 3 games, I think I have watched about 15 minutes.

its not really how great your internet is to decide what kind of picture you get on ESPN3. better will be better but other factors mess with it too. you can have a great connection but thats just to your ISP speed and you can still get a bad picture if some place else is having an issue.. I have Gigabet speed at work and still have days where the transmission is poor. The big issue is lousy transmission coding from ESPN in the first place.. You can get great quality with 5 MB speed if its done right..

Check out the transmissions from Netflix/Amazon/ESPN and see how much data you are really using. netflix does a good job of getting you a watchable picture but they pound your network with over saturation. Amazon gives you the same picture with 1/10 the bandwidth being used. ESPN downgrades your picture when you have what it thinks are slower speeds but it doesnt really need to and it causes it to be the least stable streaming picture of almost any of the streaming services.

Whether I watch the game on my TV via Roku and the WatchESPN app (first two games) or on my computer via ESPN.com (tonight's game), my picture has been crystal clear for all three games so far. I am a Spectrum (formerly TWC) subscriber in downstate New York.

Cheers,
Neil

Thought I would post again in this thread. My frustration of no TV for SU so far is exploding knowing that I could get every Duke game so far on my TV

Rant over.
