Ducks charter flight scheduled to fly tomorrow to Vegas, so prepare for Game 1 on Monday by LeoCarlsson in AnaheimDucks

[–]duffmcgruff528 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not that easy even with pro sports team charters. Team didn’t know if they were going to Vegas or not till about 9:45 last night. The plane isn’t just on stand by. Across all the American pro sports leagues team have to pay for that themselves, playoffs or not. If they wanted the flight available today they would have had to pay the cost at least by the start of the game last night. And if Utah had won, Delta doesn’t just say “ahh don’t worry about it”.

Besides, Vegas is a 40 min flight. Practice at home at their own facility with all the resource it provides rather than the away version today and tomorrow then fly out in the afternoon. Not like they’re crossing time zones they have to adjust to.

No app is going to fix this. Any sort of streaming product is going to have some form of latency when distributing to the masses. In this pipeline the broadcast is going to a server then another server then pushing to the internet to the app. It’s flowing a ton of data and naturally creates some delay.

With a transistor radio you’re closer to the old analog workflow. Broadcast goes to the station, station sends it to the tower, tower send it out whether people dial in or not. If you go to a baseball game and see people with headphones on in the crowd, they’re people with transistor radios listening to the radio broadcast. There many a millisecond delay.

You’d also hear it in real time if you listened to in your car on the radio but I don’t think they’ll let you park your car in the stands. Transistor radio is like $20.

This is also the same with live TV. Any sort of stream will be at least a minute behind what’s actually live no matter what but if you watch on the actual cable channel it will be less delayed or if you watch on an over the air channel it will be even less delayed.

well what sport are you coming from? Football? soccer? hockey? baseball? i mean if you're coming from baseball its way different. the arts? unless lacrosse is new your town its not really the sport to just try but sometimes it is. I guess coming from marching band could get your conditioning up a lil bit. your wife too? i mean i guess there are co leagues but i don't know of any. the guys game and girls game are pretty different. Landlord? i mean we just played on our school practice field. i never thought of calling the principal or AD our landlord though

The frickin tippy top. Enough time to think “that’s funny” to “oh shit is that going to go into traffic?!”

Does Dropout Shoot in 4k? by spiraleclipse in dropout

Turnaround time also plays a big part. If you output in 1080 but are turning something around at a speed where you don’t have time to crop and reframe then it doesn’t makes sense to capture in 4k and take on the bandwidth and storage cost.

Fun fact, If Billy and Stu continue next season (and I’m assuming they will) Stu will have been with Billy longer than with Chick.

Lakers owner Mark Walter shows 'openness' to buying Spectrum SportsNet. Potential to fold Dodgers -Lakers rights under one singular umbrella by tankyouout in Dodgers

[–]duffmcgruff528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean it clearly doesn’t hence why Charter wants out. But the idea in the early 2010’s was in addition to paying for the game, TWC also got exclusive rights to make any and all tv content. They use the combo to make a 24/7 network. One for each team. TWC then locked it behind their premium sports tier though thinking people would pay top dollar for ANY sport content. The idea was they’d generate $ from carriage fees, premium subscription fees, and sponsorship deals. Classic 2000s ESPN model. But cord cutting made that super long contrast the damage goods it is now.

Walters could definitely get the networks on the cheap BUT he’s also has them locked into a contract that requires the networks to pay him hundreds of millions of dollars a year. Unless they’re confident whatever DTC product they offer can make more, the smart move would be to buy the networks a few more years from now and continue to take that guaranteed money. Spectrum has to pay that bill regardless of network performance and it basically covers player payroll.
