How does this work? Like do you give your credit card number and then expect to see the game like on television. sad.gif

If it is anything like Mean Green Premium, it will be a so-so internet broadcast of the game. You get a pretty decent picture on your computer monitor if you keep the viewing window to about 4"x4" window.. you can make it a full screen, but the video quality drops significantly. In addition, you MUST have DSL or Cable... I don't care what they say. Don't buy it if you have a 56k (dial up)... that really sucks. Tell you the truth, it is really better than nothing. You can turn off the audio, and turn on the UNT radio broadcast for your narrative...

I would love to drive up to Tulsa but am stuck in the Houston area over the weekend. Anyone know if 88.3 in the Houston area is broadcasting our games again this year? My brother down in Houston checked it out last weekend and they were covering a high school game. TIA.

The Word 107 in Denton broadcasts it over the internet. Check on the radio station's website: 107

I am in Houston as well, actually the Cypress area. I found the following off the game notes posted on the UNT.edu website. Looks like we should be good to go in Houston, at least on the radio. I will also try the video link provided at the beginning of this thread. GMG!

Anybody have any experience with this?  Will it work?  I'm in for $6.95 if it'll work.

I'm no expert, but I think a lot depends on the connection. I have a cable modem and after I signed up I viewed some of the "past" games and the picture was clear.

Reminder - The $6.95 is for 1 month’s service. It will automatically renew unless you cancel the “membership”.

I just got off the phone with CSTV. They handle Tulsa's webcasts. You can call 888-870-2788 to purchase the game. They will throw in 2 free weeks to your one month purchase.. 6 weeks total for $6.95. I know - its Tulsa, but if they give something free, why not take it. You can even tell them not to autobill so you don't have to remember to call back. Very friendly folks. I had a good experience. One note: Their computers were down briefly... probably overloaded with Mean Green fans just aching to see us beat Tulsa biggrin.gif You may want to wait an hour or so to call.

I checked out some of the clips on my PC but the replay was choppy. I've got DSL but I think it kind of sucks.

I'm assuming if the replays are choppy the live stream will be choppy as well.

(Forgive my computer ignorance on this one.)

It still may be worth 7 bucks to see some of the game. can you back up the play back and replay a certain play? I'm thinking if I Georgio describes a big play I can run in here and back it up so I can see it.

Can that work?

I really can't say. I never used the CSTV viewer before. You probably have a 150K DSL. 300K or higher is best for these live streams. One thing you can try to increase speed is to unplug your modem and router (if you have a router) for 30 seconds or longer. Then turn them back on. This clears out junk (rouge data packets) that gets built up over time, and you will typically see a small speed increase (if you haven't done this recently). Moreover, your modem will sometimes get updated if there is an update available from the ISP. Last - you can often upgrade from a 150K line to a 300K line for only a few dollars a month, if they offer such an upgrade.

I was reading the FAQ and it shows the stream is encoded at 400k - 500k which is actually pretty decent quality, better than my MLB.TV subscription. Anyways, I'm not sure who would be interested...but I have a projector in my apartment that I could hook up to a computer and we could have a watching party, granted the stream quality is worth watching. Anyone interested?

KAFR apparently transmits from somewhere near Conroe. You probably can pull it in where you are, but here in Sugar Land I can barely get it in my car, and can't get it at all in my house. I wish we could get a station that broadcasts from one of the Missouri City towers.

I just called up there and talked to the lady. It is indeed free for the next 2 weeks and you can renew after that if you want. As long as you call you don't have to give any sort of credit card info. Here's to watching the Mean Green woop Tulsa!

I am watching Tulsa's video and listening to the North Texas home broadcast on my computer. I found the video's audio feed came through on my left speaker only, MeanGreen's radio on my right speaker only. I disconnected the left speaker. Looks and sounds great!

Go Mean Green!

      Mensah Getting $8 Million NIL Deal

      You got it dumbass. Seriously, let’s look at the two situations without inserting race since you felt the need. Mensah is a RS Freshmen that entered the portal stating his price. He didn’t get a degree from Tulane and probably cleared out some basics while there. Mensah may be a great student and may live up to his last name, but his academic success was never mentioned just that he was entering the portal and here is his price Morris was at North Texas as a student that had already earned his degree, the reason he missed spring practice, and a dollar amount was never mentioned regarding his transfer/entering the portal. You chose to read it as a racial observation, not me. You were looking for something that wasn’t there nor considered when I made my comment. I was just adding in to another poster’s comments. Stupid financial decisions are not the result of race but thanks for. Inferring that. Watch the “30 for 30” episode titled “Broke” and it will reveal that it happens to all races. Thanks for being who you are though. I would be shocked if you replied differently.

      Portal players leaving

      I think the fact that he's playing in the bowl game shows 1) he just wants to play and 2) it just shows more of the drive and commitment that's gotten him to where he his. I'm not gonna' fault him for leaving if they aren't rewarding him with a scholarship and especially if it looks like he isn't going to be in the main rotation next year. That feels like "thanks for bailing us out, now go sit down."

      Too many "player-whisperers" these days telling kids what they should do next in their career. I'd like to see more data about players that left a program for NIL/more playing time on what the return on their investment was. If they had a do-over would they make different decisions or was it really the right move? Do players that change schools every year really have a loyalty to any of them when their playing days are over?

      Stop Blaming Athletes and the NCAA for Ruining College Football

      There is a lot of collateral damage in this Portal and NIL era. Fan-withdrawal because of PTSD associated with transferring key players will cause less emotional investment, and eventually less $$ investment in the program they follow. NIL donation requests, ticket surcharges, and pleas from ADs has displaced asking for donations for brick and mortar projects. Player buy-in to a coaching staff and program has been replaced with NIL buy-out of the players.
