has anyone used this before. i stumbled across it and it says it has a lot of our games on it for out of area folks. i'm going to do the 14 day trial and give it a try... is it actual live streaming video ro just a gametracker type webcast?

11/21/2006 3:32:29 PM

It is streaming video. I also ordered the free trial today so I can watch the Wolfpack immediately before I have to coach against San Jose State.

11/21/2006 3:34:29 PM

i just saw it when i went to log into pack pass

why don't they offer these games through pack pass? seems like a ripoff if you've paid for the video on there but so far have only gotten the app st game, they could throw these bball games there instead, right?

11/21/2006 4:00:37 PM

I agree Roberta. My PackPass subscription hasn't lived up to the anticipated value. However lots of people in Arizona ask where I got such a neat NC State sodapop cooler.

11/21/2006 4:01:57 PM

I plugged my laptop into my 50" plasma TV and watched an ACC Select volleyball match -- sound wasn't the greatest, but the picture was surprisingly decent.

Elderkin, how are you buddy?!

11/21/2006 4:18:49 PM

Putting one foot in front of the other. I like to look in here once in a while.

11/21/2006 4:20:08 PM

Well Arizona is pretty nice. If you come visit, look me up! Melanie will cook up some of her world famous meatloaf.

11/21/2006 4:24:26 PM

^^ i liked your bit about the mens tennis team at the last volleyball match

[Edited on November 21, 2006 at 4:25 PM. Reason : ^^]

11/21/2006 4:24:52 PM

I have MLB.tv to follow the Mets and it has decent video and audio. If it's anywhere near as good then I'll be thrilled with this service. I just want to be able to see a few games and this allows me to at work even.

11/21/2006 4:25:08 PM

Thanks, "Herb," but my wife's meatloaf is already the best. Although I do visit my sister-in-law sometimes, who lives 2 blocks from Sun Devil Stadium.

jt, thanks for that. It was fun, and we sure appreciate their support all year.

11/21/2006 4:27:58 PM

i watched the duke-uncg game on it. the video was of good quallity and it was well worth it. the guys they had announcing made tim mcarver sound like vin scully though.

11/21/2006 4:36:01 PM

could someone tape the game somehow with FRAPS or something then make a highlight clip?

11/21/2006 4:39:52 PM

I'll see how big the ripped stream is and find a place to host it if I can and it's possible (I assume it's a wmv stream).. I'm a moron when it comes to splicing and merging videos so I'm not even going to TRY to do a highlights package.

11/21/2006 4:42:41 PM

i did it for the the duke/uncg game. it worked really well. also, i saw you over at TDD NyM410.

11/21/2006 4:47:20 PM

haha, yeah first post over there in like 2+ years. Just wondering what was up with Redick..

V read the FAQ.. it isn't available outside the US.. i guess you can try and use a proxy or something but i have no real idea how that will work..

11/21/2006 4:49:57 PM

ill be orderin this tonight. 6 bucks for a month isnt bad at all, plus you get the free trial. this should hold me over until im done studyin abroad over here, until i get back dec 19, just in time for the dec 20th game against bama! wooo!

11/21/2006 4:52:36 PM

If these games are ONLY available on ACCselect and not on PackPass....God I hate the people that run our school.

11/21/2006 6:18:45 PM

i just ordered

it's just as cheap as when i had to order the audio feed a couple years ago so i could hear wolfpack over christmas break up in VA

now i gotta figure out how to play the video

11/21/2006 6:40:28 PM

i guess a button is gonna pop up in a little bit on the event page?

11/21/2006 6:47:06 PM

yea i hope so. they should do some pregame stuff beforehand, not necessarily about the game, just some sort of video to let us know that we've got it working so we won't miss the beginning of the game

11/21/2006 6:49:01 PM

the button just popped up

i saved the source and opened it up in quicktime pro under 'present movie' on my left monitor

so far it's pretty good looking/sounding

[Edited on November 21, 2006 at 6:55 PM. Reason : +]

11/21/2006 6:53:38 PM

awwwww yea!! and audio too. that's nice. i watched the replay of the del st game on packpass without audio. it sucked.

11/21/2006 6:55:25 PM

hell yeah the audio is 680AM

best of both worlds

11/21/2006 6:57:56 PM

even get the intro videos. kewl

11/21/2006 7:00:03 PM

wow this shit is money

11/21/2006 7:46:19 PM

Can someone paste the URL to the webcast? I keep getting a URL not found error, and it looks like it is chopping off the front of it.

11/21/2006 8:09:28 PM

http://acc.playonsports.tv/video/index.html?event=576

that?

11/21/2006 8:11:57 PM

yay

11/21/2006 8:20:40 PM

there's plenty of room for improvement, but i feel satisfied with my purchase

11/21/2006 9:03:11 PM

great purchase, and with the free trial, even greater

11/21/2006 9:25:49 PM

i can download the games for you off of packpass

i don't know why they aren't streaming it

but its put online shortly after

they had it for the first game but probably forgot to add it for that game

The video was pretty nice. It was a letterbox/widescreen format, I believe 16:9. I was pleased with the Pack's effort; so pleased in fact that I was able to coach my Sun Devils to victory afterwards.

11/22/2006 1:07:20 AM

^^ Aww damn the Delaware St game on PackPass doesn't have audio? Oh well, I really loved that touch in your first highlight video, because the 680 AM radio broadcast added so much more energy and excitement to the video than the regular tv announcers do.

11/22/2006 1:14:49 AM

heck yeah

gonna fire this up again tonight

11/24/2006 5:07:23 PM

i take back everything positive i said about this thing

they have offered no explaiation to what it is they're currently doing

11/24/2006 7:36:21 PM

im pissed as hell since i just signed up for it 30 minutes ago to watch this damn game

11/24/2006 7:41:55 PM

yeah so what is the deal? "Delayed" What the fuck does that mean?

11/24/2006 8:04:39 PM

damn it.. i just got back but has it worked at all during the game? fuck, it's close too..

11/24/2006 8:07:07 PM

they say they're having technical difficulties

they need to give me some technical reimbursement

11/24/2006 8:09:25 PM

i'm on the free trial, and was considerin just goin for it, but if this happens randomly, then i dont know if i wanna give em any money.

11/24/2006 8:10:32 PM

yeah i am too, but i was gonna keep it for the month if any of our games ran through it

they should at least credit us a free week

11/24/2006 8:14:00 PM

goto the clemson game. load it up. choose mens basketball below the video. scroll down to state game. $$$$

11/24/2006 8:15:16 PM

sweet

11/24/2006 8:17:37 PM

HAX

11/24/2006 8:19:11 PM

1337

11/24/2006 8:20:15 PM

so i go to cancel today and the only way you can do it is to call them

was on hold for a bit

she did try to talk me out of it and offered me 30 more days for free, but i was like naw that's cool just in it for the basketball

she didn't push too hard

12/19/2006 2:58:43 PM

Has anyone figured out a way to bypass the blackouts using a proxy server? I've done it to get around blackouts on MLB.tv but haven't found one in a local market that works for accselect.com

I can't even tell what area the blackout is for...

1/9/2007 2:43:13 PM

What type of stream is it, WMP?

1/9/2007 2:46:10 PM

Yeah,WMV. Tonights game isn't on it but the Wake game this weekend is...
