Fordham Game on OAA

[Todd23]

It looks like suathletics.com has added today's Fordham game to their Orange All-Access schedule. Great!

this is good because out of area no game on...even ESPN fullcourt not carrying. However, for the two exhibition games I got grainy video and poor audio throughout...will try one more time...go 'Cuse

Uggg ... I hope the quality is better than it was for the last scrimmage. The disappointing thing is the quality has gone down from years past. I sent an email to ICS tech complaining about the quality and they said that has nothing to do with them and just pass along the stream that SU gives them and they will pass the complaint on to SU.

Can someone provide some email addresses of SU admins that I could forward my email to in case quality is still bad?

Maybe if they get hammered with a bunch of complaint emails on the quality they will do something about it.

I am sure if I concoct a pointy adjective laced letter and threaten them with pulling my $11 OAA membership that I will get immediate resolution to my request along with a very generic answer while thanking me for my continued support. It can't hurt. :noidea:

I'm no geek, but it probably has more to do with your video card and the level of service you pay for to your internet provider. Every time I get a new computer or upgrade my service the stream gets better. I now feed it to my TV.

Nope, my video card is top notch and my internet connection gives me way more bandwidth than I need.

ESPN3 looks fine and actually shows well on my computer and TV. OAA has gotten worse, there were alot of complaints after the last game. However, this was an exhibition and my hopes are they didn't bother sending a high quality feed for an exhibition.

Definitely not. It is a bandwidth problem and it doesn't exist on the client side. This is all on them. The thing is, we are such junkies that we'll still keep our subscriptions even if it's horrible. Lego SU is better than no SU. So they are unlikely to do anything about it. But I agree we should try. If an email address is posted here I will also send in a complaint.

It's both a free and a pay site. There are certain videos that they provide for free (e.g. player and coach post-game interviews, game previews and recaps), but other streams are only provided to paying customers, such as the games themselves. The prices are basically $5 for a 24-hour pass, $10/month, and $80/year. I always need to do the $10/month option for these early season games, since I don't get SNY or MASN down here in GA. As has been mentioned, the OAA streams are garbage (and they don't kick in until a minute before tipoff, then cut out immediately after the game ends), but it's better than nothing for many of us out-of-towners.

Anyone with any issues canceling their $11 a month subscription to OAA? As with asj, I'm going to buy it and use it this season for the early out of conference games.

I've heard that people have had issues in the past with canceling the service.

I got a 24 inch monitor. Its not the best quality but as long as they keep airing I won't fold over and die.

 

[HakAttack]

Ugh, on OAA it looks like audio only for the games on 11/14 and 11/15. Glad I paid $10 to watch two games!

 

[HakAttack]

Does anyone know if they air all the men's ball games on OAA?

That's because the 14th and 15th will be on ESPNU and ESPN3.

There is still a couple more games on tap for the month for OAA, Colgate and EMU ... all the others during Nov will be on ESPN1, 2 or 3.

Does anyone know if they air all the men's ball games on OAA?

They only air the ones that aren't picked up by ESPN.

 

[HakAttack]

no sound...what???

 

[cuseful]

Anyone have OAA login info that they would be willing to share? I would gladly exchange an ESPN3 login...
