OETKB Posted August 9, 2004 Share Posted August 9, 2004 I've looked on several websites, but I don't see any indication of UND webcast packages, yet. Anyone got the scoop on what packages will be offered this season and how much they will cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OETKB Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 I've been informed that TheRalph.com will have webcast packages available sometime within "the next few days." Good news for those of us who are out-of-towners. I was starting to worry that they would drop the coverage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fetch Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Is it going to be any better quality ? I saw a couple last yr & decided I'd rather just listen to the radio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedorov Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Although this is completely unrelated, I don't want to start a new thread. At the state high school games a guy called a number to listen to the TH broadcast of the game. Does anyone know what that phone number is?

Local Boy Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 Why doesn't the radio station that currently has the UND sports contract offer a listen on-line feature? Is this blocking a revenue stream that REA wants to control? Anybody know? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fedorov Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I think he is talking about a feature where you can call in and listen to the game, over the phone. I thought that I was asking about the phone number, and he was talking about online, meaning the internet. As I said in my question, I no someone called a number last winter.

Yes, it's called Teamline, and it's expensive (although I've never used it). Teamline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OETKB Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 The full year package and all the smaller packages are available on the Ralph website under "Watch the Sioux" as of today. All inclusive package is $199. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2Bad1 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 wasnt the all inclusive pass last year 150 dollars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochsioux Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Looks like the men's hockey only pass is $99.99 which I think is the same as last year but without the women's games. It also appears that all games will be available except the two with Maine on 10/8 and 10/9, not sure why those are being left out. I sure hope the quality is better this year. I would even be willing to pay a bit more for a better and more consistent feed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Let'sGoHawks! Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Is Dataflix worth the bucks? I just purchased a brand new Dell computer, so my system should be top of the line. If I am traveling, can I watch the games on a computer other than mine as long as it meets the requirements for the game? Does one just sign in wherever they are and type in a password to see the games? I was thinking about getting the all inclusive deal for 200 bucks and want to make sure it is worth it. I had heard about games last year being one camera angle and dark, etc. Thanks for the info. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had heard about games last year being one camera angle and dark, etc. Thanks for the info. From my perspective, Dataflix was great and well worth the moola. Sure, there were points in almost every game where the transmission got choppy, but the vast majority of the time I got functional streaming. You can use any computer with good enough spec's, as long as the proper version of windows media is installed. The game link sign-in is via the Dataflix website. You type in your "base" email and a password, then click on the live event and a special window opens with the streaming video. Camera work: Home games are very nice. Several cameras, with replay capability. Like they put on the Jumbo screen at the games. Road games are a different story. Often just one camera with no replays. But we normally can't see road games at all, so who's going to complain about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fedorov Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Did Dataflix change their name to Broadband Video? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OETKB Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 The Broadband company owns Dataflix. In fairness to what I posted above, I have to reference what happened last Saturday during the UND-Delta State fooball game. The streaming was very poor. Choppy or just frozen much of the time. A rep from the Ralph said it was a poor internet connection on UND's end. He also said they would do everything possible to fix it by game 2 (tomorrow). By the end of last season, most of the hockey games were coming in just fine, so last week was a big step backward. We shall see if they really get things fixed tomorrow.
