Do NOT order the webcast
« on: September 29, 2006, 03:21:28 PM »
Perhaps I am just a moron with a crappy PC, but the webcast is not working too well for me. The free ones that bb.com put on were far better.

Right now I have a nice blurry pic of the stage.

Has got to be something funny with the computer setting.

Because I doubt that bb.com had better tech on their FREE webcasting.

Is there any replay clips available yet? Try one of those and see if it's still shitty.

I just turned on the webcast and they're showing some UFC crap. Its not the UFC stuff im complainin about, but the terrible resolution!

There are two options, 100k and 500k bandwidth.

I didnt even bother with the 100k, but even the 500k is shit. i fullscreened it, and its blurry as a f**cker. Tomorrow i will be hooking my computer up to a television so my friends and i can watch, and quite frankly..its gonna look like shit.

You'd think that in a show which you need to see DETAIL, they'd have a better resolution, no? How are you supposed to see striations when its blurry as a bitch??  Sure, if i dont fullscreen it, its not blurry, but then i'll be looking at a 3x4 inch screen.


Im not impressed.

I hope this FAILS MISERABLY so that they could put it back on PPV Television. No disrespect to hardbody, but would you ever see HBO boxing specials exclusive to webcast? The thought alone makes me wanna laugh out loud and smack you with a sack of dead rabbits because the idea is so stupid...hint hint. The DVD combo from hardoby looks good. but its just a shame that most probably the best Olympia in 5 years is only through webcast....not cool >:(> :( >:( >:(

I actually upgraded my cable TV this past year, and i must admit, it was mostly due to teh fact that I was unable to order the O on PPV last year when I tried.   I was bummed about not being able to get it this year.  I actually planned on ordering tomorrow night's show on webcast for 12 bucks.  Now I'm nervous...

There's nothing wrong with webcasting if it's done right (with enough resolution and bandwidth).  Far more people have access to the internet than to PPV.  However, if thet go cheap on the production, then it's an issue.
