Re: Flosports deal with new WCHA a disaster for fans

If you brought in professional production teams and professional broadcast talent for all included events, the costs would be far higher. Astronomically higher. And I guarantee that there are student crews that out on some pretty good productions.

Try to keep up.

$30/mo isn't just for the WCHA anymore...not to mention I'm pretty sure students run the cameras at MTU games...no problems there. The problem is everyone should just do the annual which gets you everything for $150 for a year...much better deal, still wish they could figure out a way to let you pick the announcing crew...

During the Hockey East playoffs some games were not available because I lived in an area where NESN had the games. I paid the monthly fee because I was only interested in the HE games so Flosports was a waste of money.

I don't know if that was your issue...I live in Minnesota and got a location error too. I think FloSports was having issues with those games. They worked on my phone but not on my roku.

Yes, I understand about the students, which is why I said "that don't know what they're doing". Students are fine, but that is not an acceptable excuse for poor quality product. The students need to be putting out a professional product. $30/month is outrageous for most people. I have interest in watching maybe 2 games per month. So, that means I have zero use for anything Flosports offers, because $15 per game is insane.

I believe previously it was $10/game or so for a "day pass" or whatever but did you know there are also sweden league games $150/year isn't terrible but I really shouldn't talk because I got one as media.

In other news people, off the record, you can share logins on flosports as far as I can tell they do not limit you to 1 screen so share logins between friends

I don't know how many schools have students involved. We have them doing the camera work but not the voice work. For us, it's budget, unfortunately. It's stupid, but there it is.

They do limit it to one device at a time. If I have it playing on my phone and it croaks, I'll open it on my iPad only to be told I am already streaming it on another device and it kicks me off. Other than that, share away

hmm...I've never had a problem combining roku and iphone/ipad...must be a multiple apple device issue?
