I wish you could get alternate audio on all sporting events. In football you would be able to hear the crowd, anything over the stadiums speakers and the band, or you could listen to the moron talking heads we have now that half the time you wonder if they are even watching the game they are attempting to call. For racing you would just hear the cars and maybe they could add some in car radio. I think this is a great idea. Not sure if it would work with cable but I know with the two satellite companies you have alternate audio options. I love hearing the sounds of sporting events but after watching sports for over 30 years I get really tired of listening to all these idiots opinions and basically the same old crap they say week in and week out year after year.. I think we need a fresh spin on sports broadcasting. I think in the long run if there would be a way to track who was listening to what the broadcast companies could save millions a year by not employing these fools.

This is why I love MLB.tv. You can select a "Park sounds" option which mutes the announcers and only plays sounds from the ballpark.

What a day at the Convo.....Wow!

20 or 30 years ago one of the networks decided to do an NFL game without announcers.  The booth mics picked up the PA announcer and field mics got the sounds of the game (on a five-second delay, of course).  Viewers hated it because nobody explained to them the nuances of each play, and they had to spend too much time concentrating on the broadcast.  Of course, these days so many games are televised that the quality of the broadcast teams has been diluted.  Instead of hearing only the likes of Keith Jackson, Chris Schenkel, Vern Lundquist and Dick Stockton, for 95% of the games we basically get bozos who don't know when to shut up or who spend too much time analyzing the upcoming "big game of the week" instead of paying attention to the action in the game they're covering.

We will get by.

Real easy way to do this.

Go behind your home theatre receiver, & disconnect the center channel speaker.

Done.

I never listen to the jokers that do OUr games. We are lucky enough to have Russ and Rob. I just mute and pump their audio in.

Their audio seemed to be about 45 seconds to a minute ahead of the video feed, based on the commentary in the chat thread, which is about 1-2 plays, sometimes. Wasn't that kind of distracting?

Honestly I was at the game last night so I got to avoid that streaming nightmare. Usually it lines up pretty well. I guess I get to test it out next week.

Michael Reghi was on the ESPN3 broadcast yesterday. I did not recognize him at first until I heard the excitement in his voice when Kent did something good or when Ohio fumbled (again and again and again). He just annoys me.

Even today he's better than 3/4 of the dodos on ESPN.


The streaming video last night was really annoying.  Not only was it running 2-3 plays behind Russ & Rob, it would repeat three or four seconds of the broadcast every so often and would occasionally skip a play.  At least we're on ESPNU next week, so the technical quality should be better.  But with ESPN's current love affair with the SEC I don't expect the announcers to treat us kindly.

Now I need to upgrade to a theater receiver. Wish I could do that with my sound bar. 

So disconnecting the center channel gets rid of the announcers? That is awesome.

Rethink made me want to puke every time I heard him. Wasn't too obvious his bias towards Kent.

If the game is mixed in discrete 5.1 or upmixed well, yes, it should, because mono signals should get directed to the center channel. Might get some bleed if it isn't discrete 5.1 - not sure how an upmixing receiver would handle something like an ESPN3 stream which obviously comes in stereo... Tim might be able to give you more insight on that - I don't have a surround system at home.

I do not know if IMG is doing this for football but I just plugged my phone into a set of Bose speakers and dialed then used the keys to synch the broadcast to the telly. 


www.ohiobobcats.com/sports/m-baskbl/spec-rel/121713aac.html

  More on the service. I use it in the car when Tune in is buffering. Call is no charge and audio quality is good. Still can't see if the OHIO FB games are on this year. www.imgcollege.com/news/img-college-and-audionow-debut





:Looks like Tune IN has added a remote service just for football also. Good to know that I have an alternative to 105 .Athens for distant listening.  GO directly to the MAC link for gamelinks and direct access to individual games

never argue with idiots, they bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Winter comes and asks how you spent your summer.....

The game loves and rewards those who love and reward the game

Borna, I used it too for basketball quite frequently while on the road. It was excellent. If anyone comes across the number for football, please post it. I was just on the IMG site and can't find any listings anywhere.
