Anyone else having technical issues? Almost unwatchable
Appears to be a spectrum issue
If MU plays on CBS again, I'm going to have to buy an antenna. I can't watch another game like that. It was mentally taxing trying to figure out if the signal jumped ahead 5 seconds or back 5 seconds in live action.
Only channel that I am having issues with. Hate spectrum but don't think this is on them.
Someone at Spectrum must have pissed off someone at CBS because I also have no issues with any other channel and apparently every other feed outside of Spectrum didn't have an issue
FWIW, I watched it online via the CBS Sports website. The video was fine, but the audio cutout for a couple of extended periods.

The same. I did not have the problems with the audio feed because I was listening to Homer and Tony. That cut out late in the game for some reason and I did not bother to get it back, going with the TV audio. It cut out once.
Was there an issue on the CBS feed for some?

I have Spectrum and had problems too. It was a little hard to watch at times. Skipped right past Mitchell's three after halftime.
I use an antenna for the networks. No issues at all. Picture was perfect.
Sucked major ass here, hey?
watching cbs down in phoenix(cox internet with hulu feed)-i wasn't aware of any issues until i read them here
either a spectrum thing or wisconsin spectrum thing or?
Youtube tv is really nice...bally sports app for the bucks games. Soon enough that will be amazon prime.
Is there anyone who had problems that isn't a Spectrum customer?
I was getting messages from my daughter during the game about how bad the signal was. I often record games that I attend so I can watch parts of it after the game if I feel like it, so I did watch this one and I have never seen that kind of pixelating, pausing, and then skipping ahead like on that telecast.
But, I have had somewhat similar problems on spectrum with the local channels with the picture suddenly freezing, and then starting up again, so I suspect it has something to do with how Spectrum in the area is handling the local network channels.
I was at the game and watched the game which I saved on YTTV. No Problems.
Had no issues on YouTubeTV
I didn't know people still used Spectrum.

I can't recommend YouTube TV enough.
Whatever platform you use, cancel it now and get YTTV. It's fantastic.

I've thought seriously about that. Have tried it, but I'm a big channel surfer and moving between channels seems a little more involved on YTTV.

You can arrange the channels in whatever order you wish. I find it quite convenient. My only beef w YTTV has been price increases
Thanks. I'll give it a try. Cable is having increases too. So it's all probably relative.

Also, as long as you have the privacy settings done correctly, with just a push of the down arrow you can see the last several channels you've viewed. Rather than just a "last channel" button, you basically have a pretty accessible "last 5-10 channels" button.
Xfinity was perfect. Sconie issue
I do miss Pong
Are we really going to play on CBSSN while DePaul and Georgetown play on FS1... WTF?
As I understand it, CBS gets to choose some of the games, as opposed to FS1 dumping them. I am comfortable speculating this is one of those games.

No, the best video game ever...
Was no Space Invaders, but it's up there.

That was my heyday, and I don't ever remember seeing Mario Bros in a standup cabinet in an arcade. I didn't think it even existed in that form until a few years ago.
That said, easiest 80's video games to identify if you walked into the arcade with your eyes closed:
1. Pac-man
2. Centipede
3. Donkey Kong
4. Joust
5. Pole Position

Mario Brothers definitely was a stand up arcade game. I worked in high school at Chuck-E-Cheese and the line to use it was always long. This would have been 1984-86.

Now you're talking!
Tempest, asteroids
The State House had Missile Command and I played it so often that when I'd go to bed and closed my eyes, I could see those damn lines going down the screen. I had to give it up!

Yessir! Had to use the comb/pen trick to get super speed. Add in Ms PAC Man, Galaga, Turbo, and Breakout, and I'm in. Honorable mention to Frogger, Tron, and Missle Command.
Double Dragon absolutely deserves to be in the conversation. Fantastic game, but the three-dimensional movement felt so transformational at the time. Awesome game and paved the way for both the beat-em-up and fighting games that dominated the 90s like TMNT, X-Men, Street Fighter II, and Mortal Kombat.

100%, definitely paved the way.
I was talking with my brother the other day, and he brought up playing Gauntlet. Loved that game, too.
No love for Space Invaders?

Most definitely was a stand up game. For us growing up it was Showbiz Pizza where we would play Pitfall. We also had PinPan Alley and would spend hours playing the aforementioned Gauntlet. I was always the elf.

Great call. I put a lot of quarters into Gauntlet marathons. I think "Red Warrior...is about to die" will forever be etched in the memories of anyone that played it.

Explains why I never took my kids there? Yep.
This was the progression in video games for me:
Pong
Space Invaders
Asteroids
Missle Command
Pac-Man
Donkey Kong
Galaga
Ms. Pac-Man
I do remember playing a lot of Arkanoid in the arcade at MU freshman year. That game was like Breakout and a shooting game combined.

90s kid was definitely TMNT II, Mortal Kombat 2 and NBA Jam.

Ms. Pac-Man had varied course designs, the bonus fruit would march around instead of being stationary, and it was faster. A friend said that the ghosts were less predictable as well.

Oh man, in the 90s, we played a ton of NBA Jam. I was always Drazen Petrovic...he's on fire!
We also wore out 1994 World Cup Pinball, wore it out.

Then why stick it on CBSSN when another BE game is on FS1?
My clothes at MU were always dirty because all my quarters went to:
Arkanoid at The Gym (16th St. location)
Dragon's Lair at Guiliano's
Track and Field... somewhere. Maybe Hagerty's? I drank a lot.
Good times

that first golf game that came out
you controlled all movements by rolling this stationary ball in different directions and force to swing
