Online Olympic hockey watching
2/18/2010 at 9:46 PM
I wanted to watch the game today. Canada vs The Swiss. As I am the last on the Tv pecking order in my house. so I tried the CTV live feed tonight on the net.
I was on my wireless Netbook and |I figured there would be issues etc. I thought many bad thoughts of what I would have to live through.
Well Guess what-its almost ready for prime time this inline watching !
Even on this pokey small system it was cool.
First off with no announcers and with head phones on( Not allowed to have sound on while the tv is on lol) I heard the skates on the ice pucks being slap shotted etc. Organ music a bit. I was impressed. Then there was the crowd noise.
The picture quality was super!.
The down side was at the end after the first three shoot off shooters my system froze-ahhhh
after a reboot -well all was over. Maybe CTV planned that!!
All I know is was a good game to watch and without the talking heads and with normal hockey noises abound it was good online watching!!
