RowdyFan42 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Of course, the Rats have games both nights, so I don't expect anyone to actually watch... http://www.theahl.com/AHL/News/2005/03/03/948776.html Thu, March 3, 2005 Watch AHL webcasts live this weekend The American Hockey League is proud to join with B2 Networks to provide a live internet video webcast of two AHL games this weekend.

Don Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Okay. So you pay $6 and get a crappy video stream that cuts out every few minutes? Maybe web streams have gotten better in the last 6 months, but when I watch web streams of my alma mata's football games, the video is awful and the sound is always 10 seconds ahead of the video.

Devils731 Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Just in case you're interested, check out the streaming over at www.on2.com to see how good streaming is getting to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"WHAT AN AMAZING CATCH" *quarterback throws the ball* Maybe your alma mater doesn't know what they're doing. This is the same company that did the free UHL game last night. I had it on and was looking in between breaks in the Rats game, and the stream seemed fine. The audio and video were in sync, and the quality of both was great.

Fidgetess Posted March 3, 2005 Share Posted March 3, 2005 Is there a requirement for modem speed on it? Just wondering if my old dial-up would be able to handle the webcasts if the Rats ever got them, or if I'd have to talk my parents into upgrading. (Since the Rats radio stream buffers like crazy on my computer, I'm sure I'd have a problem with the video too!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteyNice Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I got MLB.tv last year (thank you Verizon) and the streaming was sensational. I even fed it out to my TV and it looked very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
