Announcement coming: "Cyclones.TV is the real deal"
- Thread starter huntt26
- Start date
Keith Murphy @MurphyKeith Mediacom and ISU announce 5 year deal to broadcast Cyclones.tv games. Shrewd move by ISU sure to please many frustrated fans.
I have to admit, I still find the PC to Tv thing to be a pain. My best streaming is on my desktop which is in my home office which is a long ways from my Tv. My laptop just isn't as high of quality. Plus, I have to make the effort to hook it up, can't really surf the internet while watching a game, and it's a pain to flip channels during commercials. I have an Xbox which is great for streaming a lot of stuff but there's no way to get cyclones.tv. I'm a big Cyclone fan so I'm willing to just sit at my desk and watch on my desktop, but for casual fans, I can understand the hold up.
So does this mean Cyclone TV is dead..... and only Mediacom, this sucks, we couldn't do better.....
Mediacom is the winner. I understand the urgency to get back on Iowa televisions. Just hope this isn't short sighted in the long run.
Curious how this is going to work. One would think that the online portion would still be available to those out of state?
yep. gonna have to switch.... at least once we have a dedicated (presumably HD??) channel. MC22 standard def is dogcrap.
Cool!
I live out of state, so I just watch stuff via Cyclones.tv. I thought this little tidbit was interesting:
I'm one of those viewers. The subscription is worth every penny. Good work Pollard!

The article leads me to believe neulion will still be streaming cyclones.tv events.
As much as people were hoping for something "bigger" this is still great. Seriously...this will reach those casual fans just looking for some sports fix and makes ISU games available in eastern Iowa to help ensure turning this state Cardinal. Better than nothing and better than having to "subscribe" to watch..casual fans don't do that.
The announcement makes it pretty clear this is a supplement to the internet broadcasts and archives, not a replacement.
sununva....as long as cyclones.tv still has all the content too, I'm okay, just hoped for something I could get with my non-mediacom cable, and something available possibly nationwide. Dammit, dammit, dammit.
Not paying for B1G, I actually have a higher package than that to get some other channels I want, just saying that some of these networks aren't always on 'basic' cable.
This X1000. The more faces we can get our games in front of "just because" the better
Sure, but that still eliminates all your casual fans who might find it in their guide and flip to it. Most aren't going to go to the effort of paying for it, plugging a computer into a tv, etc. Most who would that are in mediacom's reach are probably going to these games anyways.
I assume all of the stuff on this dedicated channel will also be on cyclones.tv online feed? Being from northwest Iowa I'm not sure if mediacom is even available? Maybe it is, but either way I'd want to stay with Directv
