First 2 games this week are on CUSA tv. Still waiting after that.

What is CUSA.tv?  How much does it cost?

$10 a month, $5 a game or $90 a year. Most do a month and then cancel.

[herdorbust]

I just now purchased the monthly at 10.95. Very easy to do and will need to be cancelled by dec 22 or another month comes out.

Do you prefer that over ESPN+ ?

[DC01HERD]

Why not ESPN+?

[DC01HERD]

Wright St game is listed on ESPN+. Doubtful that the game gets played. Wright St had to pause basketball activities.

The first 2 arent on espn+.

We are contractually committed to provide some product to CUSA. We did it a couple games last year. We also give them virtually all our volleyball and softball productions.  In turn, of course, we get a share of CUSA revenue

 I managed to find almost every game somewhere with my laptop and Firestick last year. A lot of times the other team will have a feed if you can find it. It may be just the college broadcast class doing it but still ... it’s free hoops. PS my Firestick is not jail broken either!

Most were on ESPN+ or ESPN 3. The others on Stadium which will now be the old Fox Regionals soon to be named Bally's and CBSSN

Correct. Not sure why CUSA is still trying with CUSA.tv though. The price point has always been completely off in relation to other streaming services and they don't even have a channel for Amazon Fire. The last time I tried the Roku channel it wouldn't even expand to the whole screen. I wish they'd just put the CUSA.tv stuff on ESPN+.

Luckily, in market those games have simulcast on the Stadium digital subchannel the last few years. Stinks for out of market fans though.

Edit: I'm pretty sure you could watch on Stirr if you used a Huntington zip code last season. It was a work around from CUSA.tv

I've had my account for years, used to just pay the annual fee to help out the conference; but then we went to ESPN+ so much it didn't make a lot of sense. However, volleyball and softball, plus an occasional baseball game, can make it worth it.  I'll re-establish mine the morning of 11/25.

I must not know how to navigate CUSA TV - I went to the site and it says audio only.............  ?   I must be doing something wrong.........??

Earlier it listed video and audio. Maybe the game will be on a different platform. No word from Marshall but hey, tip off is 72 hours away......

[Herd72]

I have all those Fox Regionals in the sports package from Suddenlink so that will be another source. I miss the old Thundering Herd Network!

[CoachMaclid]

I’ve tried C-USA three times.  I have never been satisfied between poor production or streams not being properly available.  After my last experience, I swore never to buy CUSA.tv again.  So if they are there I will unfortunately miss the video on these.

I tried it 3 times too. Twice while we were living in Albany GA & once in 2017. The time in 2017, there was no broadcast...someone forgot to do something in the Cam or something. The 2 times in GA, the picture quality was horrible & the broadcasts kept breaking away from  the BB game to show highlights or crowd reaction or a mascot or the scoreboard animations.

My take was that it was a bad product run by a chickensh&t operation at twice the money it should cost for even a good product.
Oh, and BTW, it's not even available on Roku or FireTv devices.

It was awful and with many schools it still is. In the past 3 years Marshall has passed and lapped the league in broadcast technology. Every game you saw from the Cam last year was produced by Marshall. Not CUSA,  not CBSSN , ESPN or Stadium,  They used our equipment. They didn't even bring a mobile truck because we had all they needed for basketball. Not so with football since they use more cameras and thus need a bigger board for the director

I might try it for a game this season. I set up a PC for streaming in our gameroom for 'home theatre' that's hardwired for internet, so streaming with a browser is no long inconvenient for me. But not having apps for Roku AND Fire TV severely limits the market for the CUSA "TV" product.

I'll search the free streamers, if I find it I will post it in the live game thread out here. I just hope someone puts them up.

This is absolutely correct.  I have watched more Marshall basketball the past 5 years online than ever and the stream the past couple is top notch.  There was a story somewhere a couple years ago about the upgrades that Marshall had made so they could produce ESPN+ and ESPN3 caliber games.  I have not been disappointed at all.  Even before the upgrade, our picture wasn't as bad as other schools and I could watch games which I couldn't do in the past.

The issue with CUSATV is there is no app...or at least was no app so you had to do the whole hook up a computer to put the game on TV so it isn't as convenient.

Did you make sure you were logged in and with your contract up to date. Sometimes it is possible to listen to audio for free ( not logged in ). I have not re-joined CUSA.tv yet.

Also I wanted to remind fellow Firefox users that, historically, Chrome must be used or else a black screen will show up ( with Firefox ).
