As much as I've harped about the video this season, it's only fair to laud them over the improvement.  Great job, folks.

Good, I'm glad those that weren't able to be in the Convo were able to see Walt's dunk with good clarity.

Of course, as much as I love to complain about the video and I miss the best one yet. With a dunk that sounds sweet. Hopefully it continues. Anyone have video of the dunk? Or can recreate it in their living room with their kids? Or a photo?

Another thing you shouldn't have missed besides Walt's dunk was Wilkins hitting some key shots to help us pull away from Oakland.

Also, don't forget Ivo monster dunk!!

The feed was definitely less choppy today, but what drives me nuts is the forced aspect ratio (a common problem with TV' setups at a lot of bars and restaurants, too).  On my end, at least, it looks as though they're stretching a 4:3 picture to fill a 16:9 aspect ratio.  It makes everyone look shorter and fatter, and makes the basketball look oval-shaped.

Stretch has the whole game on demand now.  Walt's dunk was with about 2:40 left in the first half.

...which makes dribbling nearly impossible.

yes, thank you to those that gave us a much improved video feed for the Oakland. Game. We're making progress, next steps as mentioned are continue image clarity and aspect ratio, and if I could make a recquest,  a less than jumbo sized scoreboard on the bottom 1/3 of the screen. small request. but again, thanks to those that worked to make massive improvements. much appreciated.

Yes..smaller scoreboard and I don't even think I would complain again about the video.

This and a clock and I think it'd be perfect. I know Russ says the time pretty frequently, but I'd like to see the clock (and shot clock) tick down.

Have been trying to view some parts of this game via the on demand option,   It appears that all that was archived by the site was a two minute clip of what looks like a pre-game color guard practice.  Is anyone able to get anything more?

Wouldn't hold my breath for a clock - compositing that sort of thing would require some expensive hardware.

Many thanks to whoever fixed the aspect ratio!

Am I getting too greedy if I ask for a higher-resolution picture?  I know it's not an HD feed, but even for SD it's not great.  Kind of looks like I'm viewing an SD program through a screen door.  I'm probably a bit more picky on this than most since I'm blowing up the signal to a size larger than intended.  Santa came early this year and brought me a 37" TV with PC-in so I can watch stuff like this feed and Ohio football on ESPN 3 on it.

I'd also like to point out that the streaming service is run through the Convo, which is tied into the Ohio University Network. with less students using it, A higher frame rate was kind of expected. Now, the resolution was a marked improvement, and I applaud the guys.
