Terrible TV reception

[meyers7]

Had trouble with the glitching and freezing. Seems it was Xfinity's problem, not CBSSN.

BUT, because this wasn't on SNY and blacked out everywhere else, I was able to find it on YouTube without the freezing and glitches. So again, very happy to not have it on SNY. It was nice not to have to look at coaches or people in the stands while play was going on.

As for the announcers, well there are so very few decent announcers, it doesn't really matter.

Xfinity- almost unwatchable. Froze constantly. So annoying.

I don't want to say that you people are old but....TV reception? It has been at least 40 years since I had bad TV reception and that is only because I was trying to watch TV from my dorm room (otherwise it would be near 50 years).

BUT... he copied the "You Bet" exclamation made famous by one of SNY's announcers.

Xfinity in Maryland. It froze once for about 5-10 seconds, otherwise OK. The play-by-play man was incompetent: his job is to announce the play-by-play, not chat with the color commentator.

Jordan Kent the male announcer never pronounced Geno's last name correctly and was the worst one I've seen this season. The analyst Julianne Viana has covered UConn game and was mostly on point with her performance. Had no problems with Dish.

MSGRET- - - A couple of times I saw Julianne Viana play PG for Marist! Really good player but small!
I like her calling of the game!

Whoever was streaming the game on Youtube had the same problems with freezing and skipping. It seemed better in the 2nd half.

I found the quality of CBS Sports cable coverage of the UConn game to be superior to SNY cable broadcasts over the past several years. Of course, my opinion on this matter may have been influenced by the fact that my cable provider cut off its nose to spite its face when it dropped SNY from its line up several years ago. I expect that FOX and their affiliates will have a little more leverage during upcoming contract negotiations with the yokel cable company in my area.

Sounds like a problem with your provider, not CBS. Everything good here in SoCal with Spectrum. The announcers, though, were a real letdown after the SNY broadcast. The guy kept referring to a basketball hoop as "the cup." Guess he normally covers golf.

I had to look up “three in the key”. He said it doesn’t get called much and I was puzzled by that.

For those who didn’t look it up - three in the key is a three second call

Xfinity here. Every minute or so, all game, (except ads) we lost audio for 5 seconds or so. 3 or so picture freezes, as well. The TV survived continuous off-color expletives from me...fortunately.

Xfinity also here in mid Maryland. Same problems and reaction. To quote Little Feat - "Eloquent profanity just rolls right off my tongue".

Actually thought both commentators were fine--agreeable personalities, professional, and knowledgeable; clearly they did their homework. And no problems with Hulu streaming. All in all, a very nice evening.

 

[Blond D.]

Interesting. I watched on Xfinity and had the same issues...really bad. But I also have Hulu. I can watch through that?

Hulu gets CBS Sports. They also cover SF1 sports and thats where the next game will be played.
Scroll over down to the sports category, click on that. Then go to college basketball, click on that and it will tell you all the women's games live and below that whats coming up and if they cover it.
