Upgrade? How is something we already had an upgrade (games on Mediacom)? How is something that serves so little of Cyclone Nation an upgrade?
Announcement coming: "Cyclones.TV is the real deal"

Good post! And for those of us who don't live in an area serviced by Mediacom? Makes zero difference so therefore it really isn't that much of a "deal"!
We have had both cyclone.TV and games on Mediacom? It is a step foward.
(cyclones.tv + Medicom) > (cyclones.tv) > (Mediacom)
I've said this before, HD Cable =$10. Any tv deal means more money from those that are in range
You don't see the differences between BYU and Iowa State?
Never underestimate the power of stupid.
And a Mediacom deal would be an upgrade IF there was a dedicated On-Demand channel which showed all the videos Cyclones.tv releases. That wouldn't be possible via FSN.
I guess I'm in the minority too. No option for mediacom sub for me, so anything short of an FSN channel like the rest of our Big 12 brethren is a "no big deal" for me.
Are there reasons for not subscribing? The internet method provides pretty easy access to games. You don't have to watch them on the PC. An HDMI cable, VGA cable, S-Video cable, or some other form of video out will put it on the TV. I'm only asking because I don't understand the hang up.
Cyclones.tv hasn't been perfect. The last couple games have streamed really well, though. I believe it will get better and better as a streaming option. If they want to put it on TV, great. But I'm fine with what we have.
Whether it be only a TV feed or an internet feed (preferred), I like to watch the games. You can keep your radio.
I live in Ankeny. There is no chance I would switch to Mediacom for a Cyclone channel. They could do naked interviews with the volleyball, soccer and women's swimming team and I still wouldn't pay for their crap... Errr, maybe I would if JDub promised to be dressed.
Don't have anything to plug into the other end of the HDMI cable to feed into the TV (e.g. computer/laptop). Number of friends / family don't have internet at their house (if they want to use the internet they get on their phone) or live in areas where they can't get it.
And some wonder why JP has trouble selling ISU to FSN and other media outlets when our "fan" base is littered with such attitude. The BTN (and soon SEC) exists because the fans of those teams are not only wiling to pay for it, they would riot if they do not get it.
I fail to see the connection of someone not wanting to use Mediacom because of their horrible customer service and limited channel selection. If there was a Big12 Network available to Mediacom, Dish and DTV - for the same price as the BTN, I am sure every ISU fan would be all for it.
Yep...this! Or even the local cable companies...I have South Slope (only cable provider offered to me other than satellite) in my community and it serves my family well! Hope they can/will have the opportunity to add whatever this new extension/creation of cyclone.tv is!
This is not apples to apples. BTN is available on multiple carriers. Mediacom is what it is.
As I've said before, if it is a Mediacom deal and part of it is that the games will be uplinked to ESPN Full Court again, that would be enough of a "real deal" for me.
Why on earth should they give the game away to ESPN Full Court when they can make money by holding it back to Cyclones.tv? If Mediacom or FSN is willing to pony up moolah to get it, take the highest bidder and run, especially if it's Mediacom and they'll allow you to keep the web capabilities of Cyclones.tv.
