GBpakrzz Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 What is the latest line of crap DataFlix is unloading on us for screwing up yet another broadcast? Anybody hear? Are they going to have the game on tonight? I'm pretty freaking disgusted at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have no idea if that means it will be on or they are just collecting money again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoteauRinkRat Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 Last year, they promoted the games being on dataflix all the time. They had ads in the paper and on the radio, but you don't hear anything about it this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AZSIOUX Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 i just pretend my 99.99 i paid this year is a donation to a useful charity..what a bunch of bull shi% dataflix is..don't sell the fricken game if its not going to be on tv in the 1st place..they need to get rid of this piece of shi% dataflix and use another provider that actually works...its great to be able to watch games all over the country on the net but not when you pay and get nothing in return...its just getting old.......

Sioux_Hab-it Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 I think a partial refund is in order for missed broadcasts but I'm not holding my breath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redwing77 Posted February 19, 2005 Share Posted February 19, 2005 You guys are just saying what I said warned when they revealed the program. The program idea itself is not bad, but it was poorly started. They SHOULD have made the first season free. That way they can gauge interest, get people hooked, and fix bugs without too much complaints. They can't do this now. Sure, they sold the packages, but now instead of happy customers, they have a bunch of jaded fans that still buy it for the love of the Sioux and not because they hold any positive thoughts about the program itself.

UNDLAW Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Like I said earlier this year... I am keeping tabs of all the games that I missed and all of the games that Dataflix knew we would miss ahead of time but don't tell you about. At the end of the year, I will send out an email to all of the people who have replied to me at my law firm in Minneapolis [email me at Harvey@rightsattorneys.com if you are interested] and I plan on filing suit against them for breach of contract/consumer fraud/etc. in Federal court to recoup mine and others money back for their actions. In the end, my only hope is that they pay enough in damages from refunds and attorney's fees that they: 1) think twice about asking consumer to pay for their services as is; and 2) think three times about not responding to consumer complaints when they do screw up. In the end - and I think we all agree - we would all be a lot more forgiving of them if they would admit when they make a mistake or, at the very least, let us know ahead of time when they can't/won't be broadcasting a game so we all don't spend three hours trying.

GBpakrzz Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 How is it working tonight? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> At first I had a frozen picture and it was buffering constantly. Now its just a black screen with the message "waiting." Its been that way for 10 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure you can do that legally can you? I sent them a nasty email and warned them that I will be calling this week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
