Cstv

[01PantherFan]

For any of you that were on here Saturday and were haveing trouble with getting the game online I did get a e-mail from UNI today and they were getting the feed there no problems the only problem they has was some audio but they even had the pre-game on.

So I dont know what to say on that, I was advised tha they were going to call CSTV and find out what had happened. I did advise that it wasnt just me that there were others to.
Here is what I was told.......................


I'm not sure why you couldn't get the game until 30-40 min. into the
game. I personally started the feed before the pre-game and it was
running okay -- I even called CSTV and they told me it was going. At
some point in the first quarter, I got a call that there was a problem
with the audio portion only, which we got fixed. I will call CSTV to
find out what you are referring to, but this is the first I am hearing
that the game wasn't available at all until 30-40 min. into the game.
We had someone here watching the game on the computer, and they said
they didn't experience problems (except the audio portion at one point).

Just for info for anyone that was haveing problems

I even called CSTV and they told me it was going.

This is contrary to what I was told by CSTV midway through the 1st quarter, so their communication was inconsistent.

I was told they were having "technical difficulties."

This may be the standard line they give all callers just to clear the phone lines.

I agree I looked back at the thread the first mention of it working was at 4:33

Also why there was no post game this is what I was advised............

"I also should have mentioned before that there was no postgame show for
football and that was our decision, not a CSTV issue. We had a
volleyball match starting at 7:30, and we only have one set of equipment
to stream events. We waited as long as we could before stopping the FB
stream, so we could get the VB stream going. This only happened because
of us having multiple home events on the same day. It will happen one
more time with FB and VB, on Nov. 17."

I was told they were having "technical difficulties" too! The guy I talked to took my name and # and did at least call me back when they got it going.

Thanks 01PantherFan. I am not believing the person had someone watching the game with no issues (or, if so, they started watching after the first quarter). CSTV was very clear why I did not receive video or audio...the event had not started. I noticed the gametracker knew the game was on.

Anyway, I've given up on listening to anymore games. It is too much frustration.

I dont know either Luther the above was the e-mail i got from the Athletic Dept media relations

CSTV may have been feeding UNI just fine but those of us trying to get the game at home, via our paid subscriptions were all told by CSTV customer support that they were having technical difficulties. The game was not accessible until the 2nd qtr. Next time, UNI (who is this?) should try connecting over the internet via a paid subscription account rather than using the feed supplied by CSTV in the stadium which obviously would work Same problem if they are basing their opinion on some administrator username and password account. Anyone with any broadcast experience knows that the local feed and the live feed may work fine while the broadcast unit is failing The error was likely on the CSTV broadcast end which is AFTER the live feed has arrived from the local staff.
Imagine that!
Newsbreaker can probably back me up on this concept. Any EXPERIENCED broadcast engineer knows that you always check your output by the same means that the audience would be listening because many a fool has listened to his own show through his headphones, ignorantly oblivious to the fact that he was the only fool hearing it. Pity that fool!
It is likely that CSTV and UNI were monitoring the feed at a point that is before the final CSTV broadcast output point and erroneously thought everything is OK.

25 years in live audio/video feeds and recordings. I am not new.

CSTV online is up and going 30 min before kickoff! Great news.

[01PantherFan]

WOW a good sign for sure

[CincyPanther88]

[01PantherFan]

I had troubles first half with it freezing and cutting out second half was good though maybe my crappy internet provider though

Is anyone able to get the pregame for Mo State working? It's 6 minutes until game time and I'm getting nothing.
