Don’t see that happening. It’s very select platform or two that has issues. Most others work just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goon Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Tonight, I tried casting from my the NCHC App on my iPhone to my AT&T box and it's been the best broadcast. Not once has it froze up. When I used the Chromecast App connected to my Chromebook, it would freeze up for a few seconds a few times a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need an NHL option so I can get the NHL package. I switched from DirecTV to AT&T TV and I might use the NHL app to watch my Bruins.

I think I can watch the Boston Bruins that way. I also have Flo Sports and it has casting. You pay $150.00 a year and you get all kinds of college hockey and dirt track racing.

KSSioux Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 For those that think that NCHC-TV has been good at solving problems, this has not been the case whatsoever. Those of us that have been All-access pass users from the beginning have seen that to be the case. The Apple TV App has been horrendous to use and that has been the case until the last couple of weeks. Moving around the App is bad and previous to this week, if you moved to the "Live" games, it would knock you out of the App almost every day that you tried to watch games. For those that have not had a problem with Roku or other platforms, since the first week of the pod, good for you. The issue is that what we pay for is what they say we should get. Apple TV was one of the first that they said would be a good system to run, and I bought the newest Apple TV to make that happen to replace my old Apple TV which I had to Airplay to from my IPad. Through the whole pod, when the Apple TV App did not work, I tried to Airplay from the NCHC-TV App on my IPad and it did not work. It did work when I airplayed from the NCHC-TV web site. As far as last night, it was another bad situation and if they are not using sat feed and counting on internet to feed them the stream, that is another serious issue. I am not sure if that is the case from every arena. That is obviously the reason Midco worked and Sidearm did not. If Sidearm does not have the capability to use a sat feed, they need to change that situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always copy info@nchchockey.com in my e-mails to sidearm. The frustrating part is that it never seems to be their problem when they respond, and all of a sudden they find a problem and things change. Sometimes they never seem to read the e-mails and I have actually sent screen shots to them to show them the problems. Whoever redid the NCHC-TV App for the Apple TV this winter did a very poor job. It was better before their redo of the App. Amazingly I never had any problems with any other of the Apps on Apple TV. I am actually thinking of doing FloHockey for a couple of months to check out their broadcasts of WCHA and the ECHL games. Would be good if some folks have that opportunity to provide feedback on that platform vs. NCHC-TV. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattim Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I have not renewed my NCHC subscription yet. Have been able to watch most games on Midco so far. Is it worth trying to get it for tonight’s game or will I be disappointed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not doubt that you are right, but the Midco service not being effected is a question mark. That you rely on feeding 1000's of customers from one internet source is highly questionable. If this is the case there should be back up plans in place to maintain service. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would make most sense. Or there had another internet connection. Based on the number of excuses we've seen from NCHC.tv so far this season they've lost my trust.
