siouxfaninseattle Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Question for the tech savvy folks - I bought the NCHC.tv subscription and need to know if I can watch the games on my smart tv by using a wireless keyboard, or do I need a Chromecast, or other plug-in doohickey??? Quote

You need to connect a device that will stream the games (ie computer, smartphone, tablet) to your tv. If you have a computer with hdmi out, you can connect to your hdtv via hdmi. Smartphones would take a wireless device such as chromecast. Whatever you choose, you'll be streaming the games in a browser, there is not a smarttv app for nchc.tv I don't understand what you think a wireless keyboard might be used for Quote

Redneksioux Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Has anyone heard an update as to whether games will be on fcs this season? If so i gotta get signed up for directv. Quote
scpa0305 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 The Manitoba game will be broadcasted through the new NCHC.TV site correct? Quote

TBR Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I just turned on the first NCHCTV webcast...Wisconsin vs Duluth. I have a five month old laptop and a Samsung galaxy s4 phone. Grainy picture and no volume on both devices. I was expecting a bit more... Quote

SiouxTupa is the expert, so maybe he knows 1 Quote
JaySioux Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Will nchc subscribers be able to access the games archived in case you're not able to watch time live? Quote
OgioloD Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I tried watching the Duluth women's game yesterday. Two observations  1. The game wasn't streaming until half way through the first period  2. No rewind feature (no coming home late and watching from the beginning)  So far I'm really disappointed and this is a huge downgrade from last year....  Anyone else?  Edit: I was watching from my iPad last night. On the computer there seems to be more controls, but trying to watch the WMU game right now and it says it hasn't started yet. Quote
Big A HG Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 I'm trying to watch the Western Michigan game right now, which is supposed to be live. Â I get the little "loading swirl" (as I call it) on a black screen. Â I'm on a wired connection desktop PC with 100 mb/s down through Midco and have tried both Chrome and IE browsers. Â Still nothing. Â Thoughts? Â EDIT: Â Nevermind...WMU is having issues. Â Good start to the season I see. Â Quote

KSSioux Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Just remember, it is all on your end. My subscription, which was supposed to be "All-access", based on my UND Insider premium subscription is "UND Only" on the NCHC TV site. I should have checked on that earlier, but that is what I get for having a little trust. I do not expect a great deal from Neulion, as far as speed to correct any issues based on past experience. You can say what you want about other systems that they supposedly run (NHL, etc.), but it all comes down to how badly they want to do this and support it. Sad to hear about more problems, but as I said I do not even have access to other games yet to provide input. 1 Quote

OgioloD Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Yet again though, the "watch live" button wasn't even available until AFTER the game started. Doesn't matter if WMU is having streaming issues if NCHC.tv doesn't allow you to access it anyway... Quote
sprig Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Free Big Sky/America One works, pay for NCHC/UNDHockey/Neulion does not. When will they be rid of this crappy service. Quote
nodak651 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Anyone mind testing their nchc.tv stream right now with the Western Michigan game that is being played? Â I cant get mine to work. Quote

crb1 Posted October 4, 2014 Posted October 4, 2014 Working for me now, no audio though Yeah me to but it is in Black and White with no audio. Apparently we are going backwards as far as quality. Quote
