      Every year it is supposed to be better, and every year it's awful. B.Tv, I mean.

        The actual live broadcast is much much better this year then ever before. Is there room for improvement? You betcha! but I would not call it awful.

          And this is coming from B.tv's biggest "fan".

            The live broadcast has been better quality this year. And the last couple games they have fixed the problem of constantly showing replays while the game is going on, so I will give them credit for that.

              BTV still has it's faults, but the quality is much better this year IMO.

              One thing though, I watched an archived game (last night's) for the first time this year since I missed the game, and there is no cursor at the bottom in the time length box to move to different places in the broadcast. So basically you just have to guess where to click based off the current time in the broadcast to move a spot. Like through halftime or a timeout or such. It was very annoying because I had to keep clicking until I got the right place, and by that time I might as well have just stayed through the break. That needs to be changed, every non-live video service has a moveable cursor in the timing box. Also the audio was completely out for a good chunk of the first half for me, it seems like it does that occasionally.

                Pretty much, spot on. There are still issues like the audio be turned off for some reason last night! I would not call it perfect but much better video feed then years past!

                    Trust me you do not want to see it again. Better off keeping that one off of the list.

                      Toggle switch, how much to they cost and how hard to install and use?

                      Most of the games are simulcast which means the same announcer is doing the broadcast for both TV and radio. One thing I didn't like about watching last nights game is when they did the National Anthem the radio broadcast cut to commercials and that's what you hear while watching the National Anthem being sung and not hearing it. Having to listen to commercials while watching the Anthem being sung and not being able to hear the Anthem being sung is in very poor taste and a badly produced show. That's not the only time the radio commercials play over what you should be hearing on the visual broadcast. I know, I have my own on/off switch, just turn the speakers off and I do.

                      And with a simulcast game it's non-stop talking (sorry Dave & Dan) because the radio audience is not seeing the visual. At least with TV there's a few seconds of peace and quiet while watching and being able to hear the crowd noise, I know, I've got my own on/off switch.

                      I don't think they have enough crowd mics in the stadium, would like to hear the crowd during radio commercials meaning flip the toggle switch. But seeing how things are done for us out of town watchers, they'd probably forget to flip it back.

                      I remember several years ago they experimented broadcasting a football game with no announcers and with just mics hung throughout the stadium, I'm thinking great - made you feel like you were actually at the game.

                        Mark Cuban's HDNET was known for broadcasting hockey games with one period as just a center ice HD camera panning back and forth with the action and the crowd noise in DD5.1... I think its an incredible idea....but most networks think the only reason someone tunes in is to hear the broadcasters instead of, say, experiencing the game..

                          I can't imagine the Braves playing worse than in this game. But evidently it happened 2 games earlier vs. EIU.
                          We are a different team now, and hopefully we stay that way!

                          I don't get why they have the replay of a BU score during live action. That might frustrate me the most.

                            Good News

                            Very good news for us out of town watchers

                            The Indiana State game this Wednesday is going to be on WTVP World...

                            Which Means.....

                            It will not be simulcast ! ! ! !.....

                            And that means no radio commercials playing over activities and people we want to see and hear and the audio that comes with the video should stay on throughout the game!

                            You can listen to Dave before and after the game on the individual audio stream.

                              Since the Wichita-BU game this coming Saturday will not be available on B.tv, and I don't get ESPN-U, does anyone know if most ESPN-U games are on channelsurfing site?
                              Would like to stay home to watch, but may have to go out to find a place that carries the game.
                              Thanks.
