I gave up trying to log on yesterday for the Evansville game. It kept getting stuck on Inside Bradley Athletics and when I clicked on the live game, nothing would happen including no log in page. I tried it about 10 times and gave up. Did any of you have problems or was it just me? I have contacted BU and they have been told by JumpTV that there were no problems they were aware of yesterday. I'm curious to others and their experience yesterday. I must say, I've had some strange things happen this year when trying to get on. When I do get on, the audio seems not to be all that good. Thanks.

I have had issues all season long and I get the same do-nothing answers from them every time.
 
You guys should no how I feel about the quality of the feed by now. I also had a few issues yesterday and when I went through the help page I recieved a message telling me to upgrade my browser. I believe a lot of the trouble is not from Jump but from the equipment that is used by BU at Carver and through their system. When we played MSU I used their feed and it was so much better then ours, same cameras but different equipment creating the feed. The equipment that they are using is probably on Windows ME on an old Intel chip device. Jump even said that they are getting a bunch of complaints regarding our feed com[ared to others. Let's complain to the BU folks because I'm convinced that is where 99% of the issues start with outdated equipment. If they need someone to run this correctly please contract me or the guys here who run this site. I'm sure I could find a way to make money and run a much better product.
 
I had absolutely no problems with the feed for yesterday's EU game (I think this was a first....at least in a lonngggg time).

One thing is certain: If it's a BU home game there's a good chance of a problem or at least a very poor quality picture. It's definately the equipment -- SFP's got it right. Let's hope BU upgrades next year.
 
for all the glitz and glamour surrounding the centennial campaign, you'd think that the University would pony up for a decent broadcast. It is beyond embarrassing that we as alumni have to put up with this garbage year after year. Whoever decided upon this vendor for the broadcast should be let go, not only for the choice, but for failing to address the problem accordingly.

I have no idea, but for some reason I think it is out of the hands of the U. I think it might have something to do with PCC.

Trust me... the Prez, AD, and SportsInfo Director don't like (bad/problem) things like this. That's why I think it might be more blame on PCC.

The streaming video is run by the athletic department. They are the ones who select the provider. I have subscribed to this thing since it's inception and haven't had problems actually streaming the video like I have this year. It's been awful.

Yes... but they are working with what they have to work with. I thought I heard someone say that the PCC is way outta date compared to what the new Markin Center is gonna be able to provide.

That sux it has gotten worse for ya DblB.

As much as I would like to "watch" Bradley... I prefer listening to Snell and Co. Not only is Snell and Co. great, but I prefer to hear it as it happens and not see it after it happens.

Snell and Coach in sync with the video feeds is about as good as it gets.
 
Since I go to all the games, I have never watched on BUBraves.tv.

But for anyone who has had problems with the service, please let Bradley know. They very much want the BUBraves.tv to work well for users, and will try to fix whatever problems there are. But if you don't let them know, it might not get fixed.

I would recommend that each person having problems please email Derek Oddo, Bradley's Web Services guy, and tell him about it.-

Try this, don't login when you first reach the BardleyBraves.com site. There is a thin line under Inside Bradley Athletics that says Check Out This Weeks Show - click on that thin line and wait a few seconds or a minute for it to start up, you may think it has started but wait for something to start playing. Then click on Live Events, and when the current premium game comes up click on that, it will then ask you to login with your email and password. Of course you will have needed to pay for it to get it. The Audio from the Bradley site has always worked great and you don't need to login or pay for it, if you are using a dial-up which I use to a few years ago it's always going to be bad.

There are several ways to get at this, you can login from the start but the above is what worked for me the last game. The thing is to just keep trying and maybe shutting down everything and restarting your computer.

It's not just Bradley's site. It's the programers who can't seem to give us one simple button (and not hide it) to get what we are trying to do. It seems like they want to make it a game. Go Braves:)

I know nothing about computers, so don't listen to me:)

P.S. If it's a 7:05 game and they show it online at 6:30, it's always better to wait to 7-7:05 - I've always gotten a blank screen going in early so I just switch over to audio for the pregame and hit the video at 7:00, you have to wait for it to start up
 
I have been relying on this service for nearly 2 years since the switch over to cable for carrying the games. I am done after this year...and I agree it has been worst this season than last actually. Whenever I watch games on the horizon network's feed I don't have issues.
 
I believe Derek's e-mail has been filled quite a few times on the bad BUBraves.tv quality. I think he's posted in here before on this issue but evidently it's not being taken care of. I've never tried it myself either so can't comment on how it works for me.

The only thing I have heard is that there are multiple different problems that arise, and nearly all of them are either from the side of the TV station providing the video feed, or the web streaming service, not the part the BU has anything to do with. They are continuing to try to get the problem worked out, but maybe it could require a change to a different web streaming service?

Why are the streams from other teams much, much better from the same games using Jump.tv also? The Missouri State game had two feeds, one for the BU fans another for MSU. Well the MSU feed was 10x better. The Jump guys also told me that the problems are coming from the BU side and he even said that MSU has the state of the art equipment. Someone is not telling the truth or they do not know what they are doing. I'd like to be in on the conversation between BU, TV station and Jump to determine what really needs to happen. It's pitiful when the Horizon feed is so much superior and it is free.
