How much data does Cyclones.TV use?

Going to be traveling and will access Cyclones.TV from a mobile device on a cell network. Anyone know how much data per hour I would go through to watch the game on Saturday?

On my home Roku it uses about 3-5 Gb for the whole game. This is one reason that Sling is about the only good streaming option for me as it is the only one that lets me limit the data used. I keep a pretty close eye on these things when you have a 20 Gb / month limit.

Data caps are the devil.

Good to know. I am anticipating mobile would be about the same, maybe a little less if it is compressed for mobile a bit more. I think if I turn it off during halftime or after ISU is up by 30+ points in the third quarter, I will be in really good shape.

Ya, I guess that I usually shut it off at halftime. The disadvantages of living in the middle of nowhere.

If it is like cyclones.tv of years past, you wont be streaming anything during the first quarter.

I will stop complaining as soon as they prove me wrong.

Nice try, CyclonesTV. You should have figured out how much data you need to broadcast the game months ago.

If I recall correctly the UNI game last year used 2.2GB from the time they got it working.

I suppose a quarter of buffering and re-logging in would count the same as far as data use. Hmmmm.
