Sorry if already discussed...

I haven't bought the subscription needed to stream the game tonight yet but thinking about it. When watching highlight clips, interviews, etc. on cyclones.com my connection skips and buffers quite a bit. Can I expect the same when trying to stream the live game or do they have it set up to run more smoothly? Neulion sucks as has already been established - are gamess streamed with the same platform?

Thanks in advance for the info.

For some reason they buffer for me too all the time, but the live events are pretty solid for me. Maybe one or two buffers a game.

I may depend entirely on where you live. I have heard live events are better, but that has NOT been my experience. Granted, I have only used my CTV subscription for bball games, but it buffers a ton for me during live events. The only way I seem to be able to make it reliable is to watch about 5 (or more) seconds behind.

Never had a buffering issue with recordings.
