Will there be streaming games for the Adelaide 36ers again this year? Is it allowed under the new FTA TV deal, and will the 36ers do it for the home games not shown by ONEHD?
An extension - if you know, who else will be doing the streaming this year? Crocs? Perth?
I heard there wasn't going to be any Rivus style streaming this season?
750km away from the nearest stadium. Wont be attending too many games, and OneHD isnt available in my area. Been a member since 2006, would be nice to know what option I have to watch my favourite sport???

It would be a great service that I would use for almost every game if it actually worked. I tried it half a dozen times last season and it didn't work once as the stream quality was totally unwatchable.
If they have it this season I hope its dramtically umproved. If its going to be the same quality service as last season, then its no big loss not to have it.

I was waiting for this thread to begin.
I hope they do stream but find a new group to stream them. Rivus sucked bad. Its like using telstra dodgey dial up.
It gives those in regional areas a chance to watch basketball when its way too far to travel to the BMC for games. $5 a pop and have a service that doesnt jam up or freeze on people

Agreed that it is hard to get to games (i live in WHyalla) and we dont have one hd in this area, and with friday and sunday arvo games it rules me out. hopefully we will get one hd when the analogue is switched off.

I heard there will be live streaming at the crocs games this year.
The Rivus games via the Sixers crew sucked, all 3-4 games I saw were unwatchable but the once Crocs home game I saw on there against the Sixers was excellent quality.

Exact opposite for me. The 36er home games were the best for me the crocs as tigers the worst.

I enjoyed four Sixers streams - two were choppy, two were great.
Two Tigers streams and two Crocs streams which both worked fine and a Perth LMSC? stream which was great.
I would like to see the club stick with it and hopefully iron out the bugs if possible.

I only streamed one game which was Adelaide vs Melbourne tigers in melbourne, gotta admit quality was pretty damn shocking. It would be good to see iinet do some awesome streaming. damn government needs to lay out this fibre optic internets already so we can stream in High def
LMSC's streaming from Perth was flawless & highly enjoyable. The technology obviously has merit, it seems to me to be just a matter of working through individual venue/provider difficulties.
That said, I think there are some contractual hurdles with broadcasting going FTA.

Hurdles can also be at the users end and not just the supplier, different people all trying to access from different isp's through varying connection speeds.

Watched one of Rivuses streams last year and was not happy with it. Was not willing to pay for another one.
Still would try again this year for games not at home or on OneHD. Can really apreciate the need for those not able to see any games.
