Summit on the Internet??????

Went to Summit TV to watch the sat nights mens games. Technical Difficulties. Is it going to be this way again the whole tournament and when is the Summit going to switch to someone else like B2.

Almost signed up today, glad I didn't. Let us know if they improve.

Thank god for ESPN360

360 doesn't work for me. The live stats are back up for the last game, wonder if that means the TV feed as well.

Talked to a number of fans for a variety of schools at the Arena today. Improving the quality of the internet productions would bring in a lot of money for the various schools and conference. Nobody likes what they are getting and about 90% (very small unscientific sample granted) have quit sending money or won't try until they hear better things.

We need TV to ask Douple or some other Summit mucky muck about if they are going to try and get something better going.

I asked about in live chat, didn't sound like He was very confident on the improvement. I think "hoped" was the words he used.

Anyone see the end of the NDSU UMKC game? I didn't because the play kept freezing on the internet feed. Saw a lot of the Summit at the Falls thing. Game action. Missing. didnt see a basket or anything else

Didn't catch a min of the NDSU/ORU game. The internet feed for $20 was not a wise investment. WBB will be all I use it for as the espn360 is available.

Worried that I may not be able to see the WBB championship game on the U. May need to find a sports bar.

I've asked about it in live chat when Tyler was there. He basically said it is about as good as it can be, and a lot of the problems during the regular season are due to the host schools.

That being said, there is no reason why it can't be better. I don't know if JumpTV is feeding the athletic dept a load of bull or what, but if the host school has their ducks in order there shouldn't be any problems. I watch quite a few GPAC games, and they've always worked fine, and they are self produced. The Argus has been streaming high school games this year, no problems there either.

I've signed up for Summit TV during the last two seasons, and mediocre describes it best. I think the Summit could make some decent coin if they had a product that was reliable. I also think SDSU could at least break even if they would send a person on road trips to produce away games themselves and hook it up to the WNAX audio through gojacks.com.

Getting TV exposure during the tournament is great, and Douple should be commended for that. We aren't going to get TV exposure during the regular season, so the internet feeds need to be up to snuff.
