The problem is the picture quality, not the streaming tech itself. If you’re having any problems with actual playback that’s a user error of some sort.

Just as spectacular as the DVD’s you probably still watch. It’s a low bitrate 720p stream. It’s quantifiably bad. If you don’t notice because you watch on a small laptop screen (or have low standards for video quality in general) then that’s fine, but the quality is not “spectacular.” It’s garbage by 2018 standards.

Lance Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 For adults on here, please understand, the service flo provides is totally adequate, and even if it weren't., I'd probably still pay for it. Hiring professional sound engineers familiar with marching music to cover the events, and hiring people who know how to run multi cam for pageantry events isn't too much to ask, though. It has gotten incrementally better for sure, though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluzes Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 FLO is a lot better but still starving their bandwidth and there are pops/cracks (digital artifacts) in the audio probably present all the time but become annoying in the quiet parts. I am sure they would show up in Audacity (free audio software) as narrow band glitches that can be removed in post production but live, UDP has no error correction. The starving bandwidth shows up at random and becomes noticeable when the green on the field starts to distort and pulsate and can lead to an unacceptable audio glitch. That occurs when FLO is not keeping the buffers full and has varying affects on the end users depending on age and condition of the rendering software in the home. Last night during Academy there was a drainage so bad it affected the audio on my gear which is a Republic of Gamers laptop, audio fed to a BOSE 231 stereo and big screen TV that seems to stream the rest of the internet perfectly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCIat14 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I've had a bit of a issue with streaming - and my tv is hard-wired to the internet that is very fast, so likely not the problem. However, not running chrome so might have to try that. My is it feels like less shows are being covered. There were what, 3 shows today? Not one of them ran. It could be that I just have more of a vested interest now that previously, but I love watching all the corps. Hopefully they'll grow with time :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
