Great announcers tonite Lottsa good critique for ISU. Hope the coaches LISTEN as well as watch the film.
Lol, you think coaches take tips from the play by play guys?
Feed was great for me tonight. Gotta give credit when its due.
So I had an unplanned situation yesterday. My oldest daughter and I were 3 steps from the door from leaving to head to Ames when my phone rang. It was my wife telling me they my father in law has a medical issue while traveling home from northern Minnesota and was in the St. Cloud hospital. So instead on going to Ames, the whole family loaded up and drove to St. Cloud. I used my Cyclones.tv account to listen to the game in the car and watch the game once we hooked to Wi-Fi at the hotel. The radio broadcast and video worked good but the sound was very low, even with everything cranked. The CF pre-game on iHeart did not have that issue.
It went great for me for the most part. The video feed stalled out a few times, but the audio would keep going so I didnt miss anything. A few minor complaints about the camera work a few times, but overall, it was great!
I know for a fact they have it recorded but the coaches will never watch this version. They have their own video guys recording it that they use.
At the gamewatch we started calling it "live replay". At least the audio didn't skip so we knew what was happening. The continuing couple second time warps back were annoying but didn't make it unwatchable. Plus we were winning so everyone was in a good mood after the two interceptions. Might have had a different reaction to the feed issues if we had been losing late in the game.
The bar management was streaming it via their laptop to feed their big screens. Picture was mostly HD with a few moments of "standard" but it restored quickly. Sound was good throughout. Anyway, hardly flawless but acceptable to the 50-60 fans that showed up and a relief to me as "host".

I was at the game but my wife watched it on our Roku Stick at home with no issues. She wished they had shown more of the pregame as well. I wonder if there is a way to send feedback to them?

I was totally impressed with the feed. Had only a couple of pixelations and those were during commercials and had a jumpy voice also during the Toyota commercial. Other than that, flawless!!

Should have added Windows 10 with Firefox browser with a connection that had about 5mb/sec speedtest. Really liked the weekend option too
The feed I had on Roku was great, minus very minimal pausing once in a while, but no complaints there. So in terms of that, great progress. Unfortunately, the production level still has room for a big jump. I thought Sage and Brent were great, but I have an obvious bias towards them. Everything else was questionable. I remember missing a Lazard reception while they showed the other QB on the sideline. The replays were either missing or late which led to missing part of the next play. Obviously they don't do this as often as ESPN or FoxSports and it shows.
