Everything sounds like Darth Vader

I have mediacom fast internet and have Cyclonetv as a channel on my TV package, its pathetic and freezes out, its been getting worse the last week. I don't know if its mediacom or Cyclonetv, but all other channels work fine, So I think the issue lies with cyclonetv. Anyone having crappy signal reception on cyclonetv?

Anyone know what channel is Cyclones TV on mediacom in the DSM area with a digital-ready TV? The guide says 68-2 but when I autoprogram it never picks up that channel as even existing.

Went to Best Buy in C.R. to get a basic HDMI adapter/cable set up since I won't be in a house with Wi-Fi and was informed my phone, Samsung J3 isn't compatible. Such b.s.

May be able to see it just through phone but still that's crap.

When I click on "watch" I get a black screen. Is that right?

I think it's 69-2. It is in the hotel I'm at anyway.

No, it should be something. Right now (online) it's showing the opening of the UNI game from 2 or 3 years ago.
Thanks! I tried using a different laptop and now things are A-OK. I think it was the ad-blocker on the first laptop.

So you disagreed, made a suggestion that "it has to be something", the other poster believes an ad blocker was causing issues, switched laptops and is now good to go.

That's not CTV's problem, is it?

I'm not saying it's perfect, but most issues, I would wager, are on the user's end.

To be clear, I'm not trying to be combative here at all. I want everyone to be able to watch, whether in the stands or on our online platform. I just wish some would wait before passing judgement on said online platform, especially if it's their equipment's issue.

Sorry for the harshness here, but my younger sister, who knows pretty close to nothing, ordered this morning and had the live stream up and going...on a TV...in less than 10 minutes. For those having issues, if she can figure it out, I really think all problems are user error.

:p

At first you said "all problems" are user error, that's why I disagreed.

I'm technologically challenged so when told that I should be seeing "something" that made me think it was my problem and so I switched laptops and voila! I just appreciate the help and am not embarrassed to admit user error.

If the issues were primarily user error, there wouldn't have been so many subscription refunds after last year's game.

I never received a refund, and I'm guessing it's because I never had an issue. For the record, I live in the sticks, I have DSL and my modem is 10+ years old.
