GBpakrzz Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Well, I broke down and paid the $99.00 for the season hockey pass. It had better work for me. The previews looked fantastic. Does anybody know what time they start broadcasting? Are there any pregame interviews, etc? Quote
sprig Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 THink you may pick up the audio, since it's the Hennesy radio broadcast, a half hour before game time. The video will come up at game time, when Hennen and the siouxsports network team start the TV broadcast. Quote
7>4 Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 Any idea on whether you can get video feed from dataflix and listen to Hennessy make the call? In my opinion, Hennessy is one of the best hockey announcers I have heard on the radio. Quote

GBpakrzz Posted October 17, 2003 Author Posted October 17, 2003 Ok... it is about 20 minutes before they drop the puck and I don't have a picture yet. All I have is a black screen and message that says "Ready" below it. I am assuming that I won't get a picture until game time. Quote

OETKB Posted October 17, 2003 Posted October 17, 2003 If you will notice the game time on the dataflix site, it says 7:35 CST. Does that mean they got the start time wrong? (Edit) - looks like 7:35 is right. Quote

(Edit) - looks like 7:35 is right. I called some buddies in GF who are going to the game tonight, it is 7:35. I got burned last week too when USCHO listed the start time at 7:35 when it actually started at 7:05 Quote
sprig Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Appears that all Sioux home games are at 7:35 Fridays and 7:05 Saturdays. Pregame audio is not going yet either. Where RU TH? Somebody at the college turn off the server again? Quote
OETKB Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Pregame is now up and streaming very well. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 DataFlix is up and running. The video is clear and smooth so far. They are doing the pregame warmups. The audio is quite impressive too. You can hear the background music in the stadium, the pucks crashing into the boards and the players on the ice yelling at eachother. Almost like I was back home at the Ralph. So far, so good. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Is the streaming audio working ? I am not getting anything. Quote
sprig Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Are you hearing the Hennesy pregame on dataflix. Nothing going yet on the audio stream. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 No pregame audio yet. Just the sounds of the stadium. It is my understanding that the audio broadcast doesn't start until the drop the puck... or a little before it. Quote
sprig Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 THis happened last year a couple times early in the season. Someone turned off the server at the college. Hope it's not a repeat of last year. Heading for the CSTV pregame now. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I wonder at what point I give up and cough up the 8.99 to watch the game. Quote
nmackay Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 I have a question about data Flik. I am having trouble getting to where you can watch the game. I paid for the package which was verified and went to my account and clicked on the order number but there is no link to watch the game. Where do I find that? thanks for your help! Quote

Find the Sioux/BC game and click on it. It took me awhile too, but I found it. Quote
U2Bad1 Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 Paid for dataflix.. am i imagining things or is the audio and video much improved?? I hear the band sucks as always. PS : THere should be a link that says "watch flix" Quote
nmackay Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 It looks as though they forgot to add the "watch Flix" to my account. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 The video is kicking ass. The audio could be a bit better at times. I can live with it though. Very impressive so far. Quote
GBpakrzz Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 Now the audio is going strong with the Hennesey broadcast... Quote
sioux fan in phoenix Posted October 18, 2003 Posted October 18, 2003 GBpakrzz, You able to provide periodic updates? Quote
GBpakrzz Posted October 18, 2003 Author Posted October 18, 2003 GBpakrzz, You able to provide periodic updates? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. Sure... 0-0 in the first period. BC has controlled the puck for most of the game so far. The Sioux have had 1 power play and BC in on their second. Hmmm... as I type this, BC just scored on the power play. 1-0 BC Quote
