skerfan1705 Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Has anyone watched a game using ESPN360? Is it tolerable? do you need a blazing connection to watch it? Am I better off getting GamePlan for the day? Quote Link to comment
skersRmyteam Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 watched the replay of mizzou and NU and it looked great!!! haven't watched a live game yet on it tho.. I have 7.5 mbps down and 3.0 up... Quote Link to comment
AF Husker Fan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 i've used it to watch the virginia tech game live and watched the mizzou replay, both times worked perty well. On live feeds i know for a fact that whenev they connect to someone outside their broadcast you won't hear the audio on 360. Quote Link to comment

Am I better off getting GamePlan for the day? Can you even get it? Lots of ISP's block it. It's a bit of a bandwidth hog. Time Warner here in Lincoln blocks it. Quote Link to comment
LouisianaHuskerFan Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 The quality it really good. If you can just go to a Buffalo Wild Wings or Hooters or maybe a TGIFridays and get them to turn the game on for you. Most of the time, all those subscribe to gameplan so you can watch it there.

It's not that they block it, they just don't offer it because your ISP has to pay ESPN to use it. Here is a list of ISPs that subscribe to it: http://espn.go.com/broadband/espn360/affList Quote Link to comment
HuskerInLostWages Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 I watched the Oklahoma game on it last weekend and it worked fine. Occasionally you have to refresh as it decides the commercials are the only thing you want to see and then stops. After the refresh back to the game. Quote Link to comment
Vince from ShamWOW Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Husker game (not in Vegas), Going to try 360. Go to a Sports Book and watch it. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 It works pretty well, but it's still fairly small and low quality, even compared to SD TV. But why not just order Gameplan? You'll get the Husker game on your TV and a few other good games. If it's a money issue, put $30 on Cinci -2.5 for Thursday and that'll pay for it. Quote Link to comment

Take the S-video cable on the back of most laptops and higher end video cards(some even have HDMI now) and plug it into the tv. The sound quality is horrid at this point but the game when pushed to full screen on the monitor fits quite well on the large screens most people have on their televisions. I happen to have a decent sound card with RCA outs so with the HDMI and audio out everything comes from the TV rather than the laptop/pc. Quote Link to comment

I watched the Va Tech game using this method, sound and vid quality went thru the projector and it worked out well. Quote Link to comment
