Can we watch the FIU game?

I was hoping that there might be a web feed for the game on Saturday, but the conference only lists three games available for purchase, and they are only in-conference games. Does anyone know if there is going to be any sort of webcast for this game? Maybe through FIU?

More than likely through the Sunshine Network[. Maybe someone from the Ellis clan can give us a heads up.

Whoops! Never mind. Apparently in the last 24 hours the BG/FIU game was added to the schedule by the conference. It is now listed on the front page: http://www.mac-sports.com/

GO FALCONS!!!

Did anyone use this feed yet? Does it work well? I'm on a Mac but can also run Windows if I have to.

The test feed seems to work okay, but looking for real-world experience.

(and with this post, I'm a chick!)

I'd love to hear how it works, too. Everytime I click on "View Sample Feed", I get sent back to the login screen.

This game is also being broadcasted live online (free) by our Athletic Department. You can go to our website below and sign up for a Panther Pass. This is the 1st game they are streaming live so not sure how it will work but should work fine.

I watched about a quarter and a half of last week's game on the mac-sports.com's broadcast. I was very impressed. Pretty good picture and not too many "kinks" that I noticed. Well worth the $8 to see the Falcons IMO.

My biggest question is, can you get it to full screen, or is the player embedded in a web page? My 17" LCD would work pretty well if it can be made full screen, I would imagine.

I haven't tried it, but that would depend on the resolutions that they're streaming. Even if you could expand it to full screen if they're streaming only smaller resolutions you wouldn't want to, because it would be so pixelated.

I couldn't find any info on there about what resolution(s) they stream. J4H, you used it last week, didn't you? Was it in a good enough resolution to expand it out to full screen?

I was able to get the trial working on my Mac and it looks to be embedded into a web browser.

Yes I believe they do ask for a cc but nothing is charged, the Panther Pass is free this year...you may have to cancel after the game so not to be charged next year. This is all from my personal experience only of course.
