It'll probably be the same feed regardless so I'd just assume it be on CUSATV so I can pay one monthly fee and watch away games as well but I don't know what is better for the school.

I've never subscribed to either of those in the past, but am thinking of getting whatever provides the most ODU basketball coverage this season. Could you enlighten me on your thoughts about them if you have used either one before.

How much they cost per month (or year)?
How the picture and audio quality of the game broadcast was?
Best way to access it on the main TV (I have Apple TV & ROKU along with DirecTV).

Thanks for the info.

MM is $10/month ($99 for the year - unless that changed) and you get a bunch of other sports included. Its just the home basketball games though. Thats where CUSA.tv was a bit better even though its more expensive ($14/month - don't remember if they have a annual membership) but you get the away games too. This is all from past years. If they have changed their pricing or availability I haven't heard of anything.

The quality varies from school to school. Some are unwatchable. ODU's is probably better than average I'd say.

Your best bet is to hook a laptop to your TV. MM and CUSA.tv don't have apps for ATV or roku or anything else. I think some people use Chromcast (casting to their TV from their phones) and have had success doing that.

The audio quality is the radio feed. Its usually fine. The video is what is playing on the jumbo tron (unless the upgrades have a dedicated camera now, I do not know if that is the case).

Pretty good run down. CUSATV is 10.95/mo though (99.95/year or 6.95/24 hours). It's mostly not pretty, some schools it's down right bad and some are pretty good. I don't mind paying $11/month to watch the Monarchs 3-4 times though and sometimes I'll check out other conference games. I dumped it last March and haven't needed it for FB so far, thankfully. It's better than nothing and IMO better than radio which is mostly the only other choice for those games if you can't be there.
