Z.I.P. Posted October 30, 2017 Report Share Posted October 30, 2017 Going off the recent discussion here to bitch about a completely different subject for a moment. I am glad we have played our last game of the year broadcast by CBS Sports Net. They usually do a good enough job in announcing and camera work, but -- and this is a huge but -- they have such constant "technical difficulties" or satellite problems that it makes the game hard to watch! It was less bad in the second half, but it seemed like just about every play the first half had a delay or jumping around in the picture. Our second touchdown wasn't visible until they showed the replay. I don't know why this network has such problems, but they are the only one that experiences this degree of satellite difficulties. You don't see this on ESPN, Fox or any other cable network. Fox Sports just broadcast the Soccer U-17 World Cup from India and never had this poor a signal! I don't think this is unique to my location, either. Can others confirm that CBSSN is hard to watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was not an issue when we Chrome-casted it from a browser and I do not recall an issue from the previous game, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an issue for me every time I watch the network. All their live broadcasts are messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a great point. They are among the most impartial I have observed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LZIp Posted October 31, 2017 Report Share Posted October 31, 2017 The camera shoots were definitely crappy at times. I don't think that is going to depend on your service provider. Usually when passes were to the lower part of the screen, you couldn't tell who the ball was going to or what happened until the play was basically over.

This I agree with, but it was not the original complaint. I don't remember the camera angles being as bad during the last CBS Sports game.
