Big Ten Nework streaming

[Reserve]

Did anyone else stream the preseason games from last year?

I was looking at their signup page and it looks like they've expanded coverage and options a bit.

Maybe I'm mistaken though.

Here's the available games

I remember being able to stream individual games last year ( preseason ) but that's about it. The announcers were awful but the stream wasn't bad. It seems with the addition of a monthly pass they've made a few changes.

Yes/No?

Streaming Quality

I watched a few games on the internet last year. The quality was much better than it was the year before.

Two years ago it was free. Last year they charged per game. It's not the best way to watch but sometimes it's the only way. The biggest problem was the audio, it never seemed to be in sync with the video, which was really annoying. I usually just muted it.

When I streamed a few of the games last year it was fine. Regarding the awful announcers, those weren't put there by BTN, it is the schools' broadcasting students doing a few of the broadcasts so they won't be great. I actually didn't have any problems with audio synching up.

We also streamed the two exhibition games last year. It looks like the monthly school pass would be an option for those and maybe a few ( literally ) cents cheaper than last year. The stream was good, the student announcers were bad ( not a big deal ), and either way I was able to watch. ( a good thing ).

What bites though is that they didn't expand the PPV coverage. I remember being in quite the panic last year not being able to watch the games from the B10 tourney while on vacation.

A sudden idea appears, thinking out loud-

Would slingbox take care of the problem this coming March?

Yes.

I've thought about getting a slingbox. If you're not home or on vacation how do these things work? Does the cable box have to be on? Sorry, technology isn't my deal.
