EersSkins05 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 OMFG... there is a line that you have to wait in to get the NCAA tournament games broadcast on cbssportsline, and I'm now in position number 99,675... they're clearing out about 400 every two minutes, which means that I'll be ready to watch the games online at about 9pm tonight... lol I KNEW there had to be some catch to CBS giving this stuff out for free...

gchwood Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 They are allowing for a bandwith of 200,000 users at a time, streaming live feeds to that many people has to bog them down. I commend them for offering something new and free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lovetoaster Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 No to be an a-hole, but it is a free service to watch out of market games. It is pretty nice and has never been offered before, so I don't think there is a lot of room to complain. You just have to plan ahead and get online early. I am still surprised that they are even have a service to watch this many games for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
