RE: Elon TV viewing options
Well I was thinking that from a conference standpoint all CAA schools would have to have a certain standard of quality to meet ESPN3's requirements, and that URI (and SB?) were holding us back. It's probably more of a money issue... I don't know. I don't do TV deals. Yet. DHN Network still stuck in the legal department.

Hyper had a pretty good test broadcasting live from URI. No clock graphics, but he was at least opposite the down markers, so we could at least have that one up on the URI production. Also no advertisements playing over the live feed.

Stony Brook's video feed seems to have improved this year, but it sounds like they are still experiencing some audio problems cutting in and out. I always seem to recall SB and URI being the two schools who continue to fail to produce even a baseline acceptable broadcast.
UD's actual TV production this year was really bad too. Constant video tearing throughout.
If URI’s audio had cut out, it would have been a major improvement

RE: Elon TV viewing options
I have watched a couple of games on Elons streaming service the last year or so. Seems to work fairly well. Do not think anyone who will be using it should have any trouble (knock on wood). Looking forward to the game.

Tried watching it that way with Madizone audio ... still was not good
1) it lagged about two plays behind the Madizone broadcast
2) there was no on screen indicator of time left, down, or yards to go.
Just gave up and listened to Madizone. Our audio broadcast was a better experience than watching their mess of a “video stream”

Yeah it was horrible. I mentioned that on CS and one of the UD fans said that was surprising, because normally their production is pretty good. A couple of weeks later watched a recording of the W&M @ UD game on CSN Philly, and the quality was pretty good. Not sure why the JMU @ UD was so bad when the W&M @ UD was pretty good. Both were on CSN ..

Someone familiar with video production may know more, but the UD video tearing effect felt to me like something that could have been a loose video cable, or a satellite dish alignment/uplink type issue. Basically the video seemed to lose its “sync” signal. I kept thinking the tech crew would correct it, but somehow didn’t notice or weren’t able to isolate the issue. I’m sure it was a one off thing.

The video tearing seem to only be when replays were shown. The live shots were fine.

Didn’t recall that, I switched over to the UD online stream and that was fine too. Guess it could have been isolated to the replay equipment/cables.

RE: Elon TV viewing options
JMU does not use uplink sat trucks anymore they have adirect fiber/data uplink for all TV games, even ESPN. Company called LTN. dont know what others use, but Im pretty sure W&M uses this also. Only thing shows up now is the TV production truck parked over in GTC parking area. Madizone still uses the JMU network.

RE: Elon TV viewing options
I asked about a direct link to the game broadcast on the Elon message board. A poster provided the following....
Here is the direct link to the JMU broadcast: portal.stretchinternet.com/elon/portal.htm?eventId=373963&streamType=video
It'll be produced by our students and staff via Phoenix All-Access. Looking forward to a great show.

I have watched a couple of WBB games from Elon over the last years and the quality was pretty good. Hopefully there football productions are as good.

RE: Elon TV viewing options
I've watched a handful of moments from various elon games this year. It's one of the better produced school feeds in our conference. You'll be able to watch it no problem and their commentators are decent too. I don't recall them being huge homers. One guy even sounds exactly like Seth MacFarlane, which you won't be able to get it out of your head now that I mentioned it I bet.

Deez, somebody at the game could draw stick figures and post the pictures on this site like court cases depicted in the news.
JMU figures are purple
Elon figures are maroon

I watched UDs other 2 televised home games (W&M & Albany) on Comcast/NBC Sports PHL, and unlike the JMU game, they were pretty good, Like a normal TV broadcast, with I assume UD still providing the feed. Which jives with what UD fans claimed has been the case for a while now- they were saying the JMU game was an anomaly. JMU @ UD game must have been the wind, or the 1st production of the year, loose cable, or something.
