  • How much would you pay for a webcast?

    It appears, disappointingly so, that this next game is in Wyoming. So, the question is, how much would you pay to watch it on your computer?

    None $0, After watching the web cast, i found it much better to listen to the radio, with the little delays/freezes. And I have a nice computer with high speed internet. So i thought it would be better.

      As much if not more than a ticket. 15-20 bucks.

      Premium pricing.

        Either I am a glass half full guy or something must be working better on my end. I thought the webcast was great. Yeah, a it gummed up now and then, but over all I'm very happy. Thank You SDPB!!!!

          My webcast was great. If I can get the same, I'd pay $10

            My webcast was horrible. The picture was frozen for the last three minutes of the first half and I spent the entire second half refreshing and trying to get back on. Finally, I switched on my radio and just listened to Scotty as my frustration level was going through the roof.

            I am linked on DSL with Swiftel. I never imagined I would have problems like that. Of course, maybe their servers were jammed with others watching the game.

              just wondering if there was any Mac/PC difference. I am on a Mac with hi-speed internet, watched the 340 or whatever feed, and couldn't stand watching it much more than 3 x 5 rectangle on the computer. Other people said it was great and put it on their TVs. I will readily admit that I have become very spoiled with HDTV, can't stand to watch regular tv anymore, so maybe I just getting to spoiled.

                That could have been the problem - I'm not sure.

                I didn't have mine on my tv, but I did have it on full screen on a 19" monitor with no problems.

                  Mine was smooth throughout the game until I got kicked off with about 3 min. left in the game. But I got right back on. The picture wasn't real sharp, but sharp enough, and the audio meshed almost perfectly. I'd pay for the same quality, depending on how big the game is. The post-game press conference was clearer, maybe because the camera was closer and there was less motion, but the audio was way off.

                      Do you think it is possible if there was a webcast that Wyoming hosted.... SDSU would televise it in the Volstroff room like tonight? Just wondering... i think it would be cool if we pooled money together and could watch it on a big screen in that room with a bunch of fans......

                        I have a PC, used a S-Video cord along with, I think it is a MPX3 cord, which hooks into my computer speaker jack and then the red + yellow cords into the back of the TV for the audio. The end result is a little grainy, definetely not HD, but if you can't be there, it's better than the radio. IMO.

                          What would be better is if KELO got some practice for their potential upcoming broadcasting contract(how is that doing by the way? Anyone know?) and sent some people out there to broadcast the game on KELO or UPN.

                            It was good for me, I think the major thing is your computer, you also have to have something a lil bit better then dial-up, when I was home over thanksgiving I watched the mens team play uwgb on my lab-top and on the family desk-top my lab-top is 2 years newer and did alot better job... I think the problem was that with a widscreen it screwed up the picture what I did was put the 320 and then shrink the sides so it was prety strait.. helped alil
