right...but....they provide Flo revenue so they'll take whatever they can get

Oh, I don't have any problem with Flo collecting ad revenue. They have to make money too. I do have a problem with that underachiever Ricky Fowler. I had all (well, ok almost most) of my hair when his career began.

I like it. Just renewed Flo yesterday for the season. 

I did as well . If they deliver on the promised enhanced features they claim they will provide us fans this season , it will be potentially much improved . I’m particularly pleased that they will apparently provide replay after the event and with sound . Watching a replay on Flo of units without sound did nothing for me , and so never bothered with replays of anything on Flo . Now it’s good to have the ability to see and hear a show where we might be out at the time of the show , or we want to rewatch it . Some of the shows on the west coast have late starts for us Midwesterner’s and especially those back East . Having the ability to catch the show later the next day if we want to , is a nice feature , imo

The question will be, however, if it's "on demand".  They offered the same last year, offering a replay the next day, but it was at a specifically scheduled time, so unless it fit into your schedule...sorry, you were out of luck to view the replay.

Good question . Maybe someone will clarify this . I assumed ( perhaps incorrectly ? ) that the stored show will be able to be retrieved at one’s leisure , not on THEIR scheduled replay timeline … ps … I went back and read the “ fine print “ in the press release and it reads “ if you want on demand replay of a rebroadcast , we got you covered “. So the way I interpreted this anyway is that the replay with sound the next day will be “ on demand”.

Yea you aren't lying about Flo's commercial volume. 

One of their commercial's came on, nearly peeled the paint off my living room walls. Nearly failed my Audiogram a few days later lol.

Last year (my first using Flo) they did it both ways. Some corps were on a set replay schedule, others were on demand. Some for multi-cam, some hi-cam only, so it really was a mixed bag. I think eventually they were all on demand any ol' way you want to watch it.

I, too, tried Flo in 2019 for the first time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I think the monthly subscription is well-worth it considering the amount of shows that are streamed. Sure, the quality of the broadcast may be a bit lackluster, but I will take whatever I can get. I thought the audio and video was sufficient and rarely had streaming issues that so many speak of. Maybe I have low expectations, but I have been pleased with the accessibility that Flo has brought to the DCI community. I will be renewing my monthly subscription in a few days to catch the first few shows out west next week. A little blue banner is posted on all of the events that will be on Flo this season on the DCI Schedule page: https://www.dci.org/events?limit=10&viewMode=list&sort=startDate

Several dates with multiple shows streaming, so we will have to choose carefully or stagger-watch! :grouphug:

As long as you have an excellent internet connection and good equipment, your experience on your end will be fine.  I had cable in Illinois but now I have fiber.  Flo was better than ever for us.  Except for that weird music and those loud commercials.  Not an equipment issue. 😂

I will never be able to stay awake for the California shows.
