administrator Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Sorry, I have to remove any information that could be used to circumvent digital media copyright protections (no matter how trivial such protections may be) even though that was not the intent of the post. The DMCA (digital millenium copyright act) exposes me to tremendous liability on such matters. Quote
OETKB Posted October 5, 2003 Posted October 5, 2003 Has dataflix or REA issued any kind of explanation or apology for the botched webcast last night? I know the first one was free, but I already paid for the whole season, and I want the #$^*! thing to work every game! I'm surprised not to have heard something from them. They are not going to win many new subscriptions this way. Quote
sprig Posted October 5, 2003 Author Posted October 5, 2003 Lots of complaints on the site, but no explanation listed. Guess we may hear something by tomorrow (I'd hope). Quote
Nodaker Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I just went to the Flix site to read some of the complaints. Looks like they have been removes. Said there were 24 reviews but when I click to read them it said that page was inactive. Go Sioux!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
OETKB Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I heard that next weekend the game will again be free as an incentive for people to give the webcasts another chance. Supposedly, the problem was at Dataflix and not at REA. Quote
sagard Posted October 7, 2003 Posted October 7, 2003 Why is the game not available now? I was really hoping to see the highlights. Quote
sprig Posted October 7, 2003 Author Posted October 7, 2003 The archives for the Saturday football game and Sunday women's hockey game are now up, but still no Duluth game archive. Maybe dataflix does not have the first 2 2/3 periods of the game. And the Concordia game will be a freebee. Here's an email from dataflix: Thank you for subscribing to the Fighting Sioux Video Webcast Network. If you signed up for video webcast for last weekend's Fighting Sioux hockey game against Minnesota-Duluth, you may have had difficulty receiving the game. We experienced minor technical difficulties during the webcast of Saturday's game and are currently working to correct the problem. As a result of last week's technical difficulties, we invite you to enjoy Fighting Sioux Video Webcast absolutely free this Saturday, October 11th as the Sioux take on Concordia of Montreal in the second exhibition game of the season. If last Saturday's technical difficulties were minor, hope (for those that paid) that nothing major happens Quote
