"Spotty" is being generous, at best. This is ridiculous. I hope they get the problem fixed in time for the 2nd half.

This is the worst broadcast i have ever seen. It better get fixed I can't even watch it.

[VromanFan]

Just terrible. I'm on the internet but I figured out pretty quick it was the TV feed and not my connection.

What a joke. The school needs to make sure these stations have the ability to get these games to air. The giant "Cefcu" blocking out the top of the game is bad enough...but being unable to get the game on air is inexcusable.

If I donated to them, I'd give my totebag back.

On the plus side, that Frontline episode coming up looks to be interesting.

[CABUFan]

I don't think I can take that for another half. I might have to resort to the radio feed.

[real fan]

I think we just witnessed the worse tv. feed ever; I feel like my eyes have been damaged trying to watch that mess; I wonder if the announcers even realized this is happening as no one said anything about any technical difficulties.

Is it free? What's the link?

BUbravestv is a pay service online. If you are in Peoria, it is on the PBS station, 47 WTVP.

Although, now it says there are technical difficulties and to please "stand by"

Not free via the internet...I think that's what you're asking.

In case anyone is wondering the Drake feed, through the MVC package has been great and has been synched with the BU audio... I tried the WTVP for a few minutes here and it was awful so I went to Drake's

[VromanFan]

The feed seems to have been repaired.

The giant Cefcu thing has been moved to the bottom.

Much better.

[thefish7]

Yeah except I think the giant CEFCU thing was covering the clock, after they moved it down.

It was indeed one of the worst TV broadcast in history.

Of course the announcers were a little inexperienced, but I could have handled that sionce it was Kurt and Chad, two pretty good guys.

But the score-banner right across the upper half of the screen constantly blocked players' heads and parts of the game going on.

Then the blacking on and off for the entire first half and part of the 2nd.
Then they never showed the clock in the 2nd half and you didn't know how much time was left.

It was really bad, and I am not sure it was all the fault of WTVP, maybe the problem was on the Drake end.


I did give to WTVP, but basically only so I could get good tickets to the Blue Man Group!

As I stated earlier, it was definitely not Drake's problem. Using the MVC package, I watched Drake's feed and it was crisp as well as covered properly. They switched between underneath the hoop and a regular shot all the time and it provided a nice perspective to watch the game. They didn't waste much time on a thousand crowd shots either, which was nice.
