3 games total for the entire conference. Online, not even on broadcast TV?

I guess my frustration is less about this deal and more about the way broadcast TV is currently packaged and sold. There is no reason in 2011 that niche programming like MVFC games shouldn't be available a la carte to interested parties. Especially when the production is already happening at most games.

It is a step in the right direction. ESPN3 is a great way to view games. Especially if you have xbox live, if you do, it is no different than watching a game on ESPN.

That's how I saw the Montana State game. It's still there in archives.

It's how I saw the EW game. video quality was worse than standard def. Audio as well. It's better than nothing but sure isn't the same as if espnu carried it.

DirecTV and Dish customers may also be able to see these games on 600-level channel alternate networks.

You just made my day. :) Of course I should have remembered watching the EW game on DirecTV last year but I didn't realize why I was getting it.

Haven't used it in awhile but I am pretty sure your net connection dictates your quality.

You probably had a very slow connection at this time.
