Are they gonna kick people out if they've been in watching for too long?  Cause I'm not moving for a while.
Last year they made you click on a thing every few minutes to make sure you were active. If you left and came back you would be booted, as I remember.

What does the "Boss Button" do?  I'm afraid to push it in fear that it might kick me out.

It puts up a fake spread sheet, or at least it did last year.

Yep.  Still does it this year.  That's pretty funny.

Which game are yall planning on watching first?  I think I am going to go with TT and BC


stevenglennn

tvu is still in the morning show on the KCBS TV feed.  it will be interesting to see where they are when the tournament cranks up, but the software sure works well here.  no problem with our security blocking the feed

Bold prediction right there.  I have Maryland winning that game and then beat winthrop in the next round.  I have TT beating BC, so I am interested to see that game.  I think Louisville will demolish Stanford.

I'm stuck at like 12,000, and the counter to the next admission is going *up*, not down.

WTH?
No cause, ever, in the history of all mankind, has produced more cold-blooded tyrants, more slaughtered innocents, and more orphans than socialism with power. It surpassed, exponentially, all other systems of production in turning out the dead. The bodies are all around us. And here is the problem: No one talks about them. No one honors them. No one does penance for them. No one has committed suicide for having been an apologist for those who did this to them. No one pays for them. No one is hunted down to account for them. It is exactly what Solzhenitsyn foresaw in The Gulag Archipelago: "No, no one would have to answer. No one would be looked into." Until that happens, there is no "after socialism."

Do you still have a count-down to next admission that is getting smaller?

that thing was such a joke last year, I didn't even bother signing up this year.  Let me know how it goes for you guys this year - maybe they have improved it for this year.

That is about the same experience I had last year, only when I logged in for the game I wanted to see, I was like 200,000+ on the waiting list. 

I didn't do it last year, so I can't tell you if it's improved but I'm willing to bet that it hasn't.  I've now got to wait on 90,000 people before I can watch.  This is beyond stupid.

I had no problems last year when I used it-- it worked very well for me.

At this rate... averaging (very roughly) 100 admissions every 20 seconds, it will take about 5.5 hours to get in if you are #100,000

It goes faster over time. Plus, once you are in, you are in for good. Lots of people will be in and out.

I remember last year at the first it was like this, but after an hour or 2, the wait was down to a hundred or so people, and you could get back in after leaving in less than a minute.

Hopefully it will be the same.

ITs started on TVU and is not blackedout.

Forgive me... what's TVU? link?  Please and TY.

stevenglennn

TVU is the way to go, it appears to be showing KCBS TV which is in LA.  I would guess that means that this TVU feed will cover the west coast NCAA games like USC vs HOGS.  That is untill CBS finds out and blocks TVU in court!  By the way I am using the free beta version of the software and it is fine, and gets past our security with no problems.  www.tvunetworks.com  and my thanks to CTHOGS for the original posting on this route to the games online!!!

Another alternative to watch CBS would be to install TVUPlayer.

  CBS is on the list today, If you have never used TVUPlayer, it takes a bit for the stream to catch up, but, the quality is great!

The best part about MMOL  is that you aren't locked into a single channel;  you can watch any game, not just what TVU or your local affiliate is giving you.

I agree. You can watch anything except your local one. (which is blacked out, unless you use Tor or something to unblock it)

I don't like TVU and all these places that make you install proprietary software to use their stuff either. I like it to just work.

Plus the score and statistics on the side is nice.
