To Anyone using nchc and connecting their computer to their tv, I'd recommend a roku. $300 roku 50" TV's are out there. Or if you already have a TV, and are using Apple devices (iPhone, iPad, etc.) then the better route is getting an Apple TV. Either way it's much better than connecting your computer to your TV.

franchise Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Redneksioux said: Yes. You download the nchc channel to the roku then login to your nchctv subscription. Gets you to the game with a few clicks of the roku remote. My only complaint with nchc on roku is the live games listing seems a little glitchy. If I'm watching the und game and during intermission I want to check another game I hit the back button and the listing isn't correct. So I hit the back button again and select live games again and the active games listing refreshes. Thanks. Sounds better than the laptop. Which model do you have?

Redneksioux Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I have the roku 2 and 3 TV's with built in roku. I also have an unused roku stick. I stopped using this one because there's no USB port for playing local media. If 4K isn't important to you, you don't need to get the newest and most expensive version. Honestly I prefer it built into the tv because I like the format and having one compact remote for everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I'll just get the low end one like we used to have before the fire stick took over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comcast had the game on FSN+ channel and it was HD....watched last Saturday's game using NCHC.tv using the Roku and it was pretty good quality...not quite HD but looked better than Standard Def.

I Ranger Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 I know somebody posted a while back the cheapest way to purchase nchctv for someone who attends all home games. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to where to find that post? I'm assuming I just need to purchase tonights single game and not the monthly pass?

He sounds very much like a SCSU student run broadcaster. Basketball is a much much easier sport to call I think there are a lot more qualified options in the area.....willing to work for what midco is willing to pay........that may cut that list down by alot! I think Hammer was a betterPxP guy than this guy, and that's difficult to admit. The basic knowledge of the program the history, the experience....it's just not there in any way such as guys like Hennessey, Sweeney, Looker, or almost anybody who's actually been around the program. The insight, and experiences are what add depth and color to a broadcast, to be able to draw out and paint the experience to the fans, this guy.....very clinical and bland run of the mill, not what we should have as the voice painting the story of excellence and grandeur for the greatest college hockey program in the country. Imho this was a budget hire plain and simple. They could do better. Still feel the same way? Alex has been significantly better than Hammer who was better than story time with Pat Sweeney. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SWSiouxMN Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Love Alex when he calls Football and Basketball, no question. Haven't heard him call a hockey game yet this year so can't make an opinion on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andtheHomeoftheSIOUX!! Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Alex is pretty decent at everything. Sweeney was great at hockey. Hammer was great at football. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot on Hammer was in no way an improvement over Sweeney. Alex has put in the work that Sweeney never did and it had paid off for him. He's doing a damn fine job. Hopefully midco can hang on to him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has done a decent job and seems to has made an effort to learn the game. Gets lost in the process at times and Jake can ramble.....but who doesn't Overall I think he's very much been a monumental improvement on the Fargo Failure.......and really that wain't a stretch. Yes I'd take Sweeney back in a heartbeat. The stories and knowledge of the history of the program was something we appreciated from Pat. But hes not coming back, That's not going to happen. So as Ive said I owed Alex an apology as I think he is doing a very good job, better than I thought he could, calling Fighting Hawks hockey.... Sweeneys Legend lives in the past and former glory and Tradition of Excellence that is Fighting Sioux Hockey, and always will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's used Jake Brandt's full name several times as well. Overall, he has done a great job, especially for a guy that, I believe, had never called hockey before.

Yeah, I spoke with "Randy" over at Comcast and he informed me that they are currently in negotiations with Fox Sports re: these channels. Yeah, right. There are three more Sioux games scheduled for these channels this season, I'm thinking we are hosed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
