SiouxMeNow Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 Got back from supper Saturday night and dialed up GVSU's Football Webcast (because I'm a curious guy!) Got it right away - full screen - with audio commentary - decent quality - no glitches - and all for FREE!! Why the hell do Sioux fans have to beat their heads against the wall with DataFlix (and PAYING for the "privilege") when GV seems to be able to provide a quality service to their fans for FREE If you want - I'll be glad to provide the link for their next webcast so you guys can check it out for yourselves...tell me it's not 200% better than what UND fans are PAYING for...in the meantime...keep on voicing your complaints to Dataflix and UND about their service...it's a joke!

dakotadan Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I have also watched GVSU's webcasts before and they are very impressive. The most impressive part about it is that it is FREE!! Quote
sprig Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I've watched several video streams from various places, both free and pay for. All, except dataflix, have worked well. Some of the non-dataflix freebees limit the number of users before shutting out everyone else, but if you're on in time they work well. Don't know where this "dataflix" is based, but you'd think the REA would have changed providers by now, unless they own dataflix? They have to be losing subscribers by the boatload based on their ineptness. They got all of the money they're going to from me over the last couple years. Quote
SiouxMeNow Posted October 3, 2005 Author Posted October 3, 2005 The really sad thing is they've probably ticked off so many customers even if UND got a decent service - it would be hard to bring some people back. It was a great concept but I think we rushed into it before the glitches were ironed out... Quote
mksioux Posted October 3, 2005 Posted October 3, 2005 I too have noticed that many schools are offering this service for free, while UND charges $10 per game for poor service. It does not appear to be a sustainable policy. I hope UND officials realize this sooner rather than later. Quote
dakotadan Posted October 15, 2005 Posted October 15, 2005 If anyone wants to check out GVSU's webcast, they will be taking on arch rival Saginaw Valley State University tonight @ 7. Even if you don't follow football, check it out for a few minutes, it's FREE. This is what UND should be doing. EDIT: I forgot the link. GVSU football FREE webcast Quote
