CSTV Opinions

Can anyone give me an experienced opinion of CSTV.com?

Living in Virginia - out of B10 country, my local cable provider pretends to have never heard of the Bi10 Channel. i'm not going dish or DirectV, and Fios is a ways off.

Reluctant to sit in a bar for this beatdown, I'm looking at my 5th option to get access to the game - CSTV.com. At only $9.95/month it is affordable. So far just audio - no game streaming video.

How is the game coverage?

CSTV

I watched the Blue-White game on cstv in 2007 and it sucked. The image was so bad you couldn’t make out the numbers on their jerseys. There was tons of lag too. You would watch a play and as the ball was in the air the frame would freeze. It would hold there for a few minutes and go back to live action six plays later. Horrible. I’ve watched several basketball games on there too before the Big Ten network came along. Same issues.

I wouldn’t recommend it unless you have no other option. Personally I would rather listen to the radio unless they have seriously upgraded it.

XM

Just to throw it out there, if you are in the market for just audio, XM carries the big ten games. I would certainly pay the additional $3 a month for XM.

I had CSTV a few years ago, and I was not terribly impressed. Even the audio was choppy, although I would like to think it would have improved since. I also remember it being one of those services that is annoyingly difficult to cancel.
