Title: ESPN 360 = Quality
Post by: Tigidal on November 25, 2009, 12:48:02 PM
Wondering if anyone else caught the game last night on ESPN 360?  My Comcast provider added 360 access over the summer, and this was my first chance to watch... gotta say that I was very impressed. 

I've watched many a sporting event streaming on Ustream and the like, and 360 was so much tighter.  No frame drops or buffering over my standard Comcast internet connection, pushed to my laptop via 802.11g wireless.  Even was able to pause and rewind the action with no hiccups.  Additionally, am able to watch the archived game again right now with my Comcast login info, even though I'm not on my home Comcast connection.  Comcast, this relationship almost makes up for the years of sh*tty customer service and billing issues... almost.

I have comcast, and thus espn 360. I love it.

Not to mention, Comcast figured it out (hello Time Warner...) and struck a deal with NFL Network.

+1. ESPN 360 is awesome! Really love that they archived the games for a few days.

Plus it has saved us the coins formerly spent for ESPN FullCourt.

Not impressed. The feed from Maui was sooooo much clearer.

That's the event production tho, and not representative of the 360 broadcast.  ESPN is going to put more into the Maui games than what the Big East Network does for the epic that was MU/SD.

360 is good but I payed up for FC because it is better.  The best I have seen was the CBS system for NCAA tourney games -  I think it was actually HD.  Hopefully everything comes up to this standard sometime in the future.  Even UStream ;D.

My feed for the SD game was very nice.  I love ESPN360 a LOT!!  I don't know if I've missed a game the past 3 years because of this site and ESPN360.
