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?
Thanks for the fanpost! Please do not post any content from a premium site that requires a subscription. Also, if you just want to share a link consider using fanshots instead. Thanks.

It's a new year
CSTV is now CBS College Sports. I guess it was always owned by CBS but now they are branding the CBS name on it and giving you a lot more SEC football to cram down your throat. Not that that’s a terrible thing (it isn’t). I haven’t watched it much in the off season. Last year CSTV gave you the Navy football games which were entertaining,and some 1-AA games here and there along with a portion of SEC. Some good original programming as well.

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.
