Hi Rice Owls Fans!
 
Greetings from South Main and we hope you are as excited for the 2016/17 season as we are. You are receiving this email because you have been a
subscriber to our Owl Vision video streaming service during the past year.
 
We are writing to inform you of some important updates to Owl Vision[1]. Based on feedback from subscribers like you, we have worked with Conference
USA to make the following changes:

* PLATFORM: Owl Vision will now be powered by Sidearm Sports and be part of the CUSA.TV offering. With this change, you can still access the site in the same way, by going to RiceOwls.com[2] -> FanZone -> Owl Vision, or you can simply type CUSA.TV/RICE in your browser.

* SUBSCRIPTION OFFERINGS: In addition to the annual and monthly subscription offerings, we have added a new 24-hour subscription offering.

* AWAY GAME VIEWING: Your subscription to Owl Vision will now include the ability to view the Owls in _conference_ away games (/when the school
offers streaming of the respective sport)/. Other CUSA.TV content will also be accessible to you.

 
With these changes, past log-ins have been deleted and recurring subscriptions have been cancelled.
Therefore, YOU MUST CREATE A NEW ACCOUNT AND RE-SIGN UP FOR YOUR YEARLY OR MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTIONS SHOULD YOU WISH.
You can do that by clicking here [1] http://conferenceusa.com/watch/default.aspx?Live=99&path=rice and clicking SIGN UP.
 
Should you have any questions, please feel free to respond to this email.
 
Thank you, and Go Owls!

One of the problems I had is streaming to my phone (Android) and getting the video to display in full screen format. You can kind of zoom to expand, but better not touch the screen if you do. Has anyone else had similar issues? Am I just doing it wrong?

edit: it looks like the new website allows you to maximize to the size of the screen, which is important because I stream the phone to my TV.

I like these changes. If I can get most of the road conference games, I'll definitely get the annual subscription.


RE: Changes and improvements to OwlVision - Ricefootballnet - 08-16-2016 12:18 PM

Anyone know whether the videos of games will be archived?


RE: Changes and improvements to OwlVision - MerseyOwl - 08-16-2016 12:19 PM

For some reason I recall Sidearm Sports as having a 'different' format for reporting live baseball stats. Not necessarily better from the current offering.


RE: Changes and improvements to OwlVision - Pimpa - 08-16-2016 03:01 PM

Will we be able to access this in any way through Roku or Apple TV?

The only drawback (from an otherwise good step forward) is that not every CUSA school streams and if it is one of the ESPN3 games you will only get it via the Watch ESPN App or ESPN3.com
