Giants Webcast Quality - worth it?

[bayflyer]

Folks, wondering what the quality of the Giants webcast is normally like.  Can anyone let me know if it is worth bothering with?  Can't afford the trip over tomorrow and while SFs updates are top notch I'd rather watch it if the webcast is usually good.

Cheers

The webcast is one of the best in the league. I've had it a few times and never had any issues.

[bayflyer]

That'll do for me!

Can't remember if I've bought it before or not and subsequently no idea if it was good. I'm finding that the older I get the better I'm getting at forgetting things.

I've had it a few times and it has always been good. They used to do a £5 early bird price but not this time.

Never had a problem either with the quality, the guys that do the Belfast 1 are pretty good

[bayflyer]

Cheers guys, that's it bought.

:edit: FWIW I had an account with them so must have bought it before.  Possibly blocked it from my memory ;-)

Watched their webcast loads even games not including the Flyers, First class webcast never had a single issue.

I'd go as far to say it's the best stream in the league.

Yeah their's and Cardiffs I would say have been the best I have watched. Cardiff put on a very good product

[joestoyanovich]

Lets hope that the Flyers keep the crowd quiet, which lets face it isn't hard to do in Belfast as its like a library until they start firing t-shirts into the crowd.

Go Flyers!

I can't get to many Flyers games at the moment and rely on streams for my weekly fix of hockey. If I can't watch Flyers playing, I would always choose either a Belfast or Cardiff stream when watching neutral games. Both excellent!

Anybody go after a refund?

[forgetfuldan]

I received the refund email which was pretty decent of them!

As you will be aware we have had a major issue in the arena this evening, it appears a fibre optic line which connects both our primary cameras and our mixer has been damaged beyond our reach and it appeared to be functioning correctly pre-game.

As such we would like to make you a compensation offer as in such an important game you will obviously be upset to miss the bulk of a period of coverage.

Our offer is as such:
- AUTOMATIC: We will give every viewer an free live stream pass to the first Flyers @ Belfast game of next season (YOU DO NOT NEED TO REPLY)
- If this game will not suit you (all dates TBC obviously) we will switch the pass to ANY other game of your choice — you can ask later/nearer time
- If you would like to come to Belfast during the World Championships for a day, we'll give you a day pass on us(!). We'll work out how to provide this if it interests you, but its been authorised...so feel free. [small print - This does not apply to anyone who has already purchased a pass, and no discounts on week passes are available]
- If the free stream does not interest you, or you gave up on watch early and have missed the entire game please email [e-mail] to request a refund
- We will attempt to have all refunds processed by midday Monday (to allow you time to get this email + reply).

Please accept our apologies for this complete unprecedented issue, and rest assured the frustration is shared on this side of the connection.

That is exactly how to run a business...Well done
