Shockervision blackouts

[dTm]

can someone please explain to me why some games are blacked out in the state of kansas? i am so pissed.. what the hell is the point of this? and how do they pick which games to show and which ones to black out? then after further review i see where it says ALL home games will be blacked out within a 100 mile radius of wsu. Well thats a lie cuz i watched the ND state game...or maybe its cuz they got my money that nite.

They are blacked out because they are televised. If there is a 100 mile rule to that, not sure how they figure that...a friend of mine was in Ellis, KS and was unable to watch the game, they don't have Cox there and it's 200 miles away. There are other places on the net where you can check for the game...but I'm not allow to mention exactly where.

[Bri-man]

The best I can tell is that when the games are broadcast on Kansas 22 they aren't on SV?

It's BS. I live just outside Wichita in a neighborhood that Cox isn't provided. I can't go to all the games either.

[Bri-man]

And another thing...

I'm a paying customer, they have my money. Yet I can't watch? :-x

[dTm]

they claim they do this so people will go to the game...what a joke thinking their product is worth so much. its actually a bad product. plus if the game is sold out then what is the point again?
Im so pissed right now

[Perezident]

Yup I gave up on Shockervision a couple seasons ago...it's actually embarrassing to have such a pathetic product bein offered by my alma mater...and for an exorbitant amount of money, imo.

Nonetheless, Go Shox!

They would be better off licensing the rights to someone else and getting a cut. There is definitely some demand, but I don't know how much.

They didn't seem to mind have the Shocker Sports Channel back in the day, but that was a different time.

Anyways the last game was blacked out but by surfing the channels on the net I was able to get it. Hopefully today will be the same

:lol:

I hope so too, I'm stuck in the boonies of Virgina , at a Truck stop

Being well outside of Kansas, I'm in the minority appreciating SV, as it provides an opportunity to watch the game.

Sure, it has it's drawbacks.

Missing what sees like half the game due to replays of every made basket is frustrating, to say the least.
Since it's a feed from the scoreboard, it gets old watching "GO Shocks" flash on the screen for what seems like an eternity.

On the good side, they do feed in Mike and Dave to provide audio.

Hey, anything is better than just listening to the internet feed. 8)

Seconded.

But...if the game is not available today, something may get firebombed. :D

I thought the 100-mile blackout was dropped this year. That's the last I heard. That would be robbery to change that position in mid-season after getting a swipe at customers within the 100-mile radius who paid for it.

I'm not certain, but in the past I believe all home games that were televised were not shown on SV. Doesn't really make sense because not everyone gets CoxSuxCox.

I live in Oklahoma City and was not able to see the Texas Tech game because of blackout. Shockervision clearly says that it will be unavailable unless you live outside of Kansas.... Last time I checked Oklahoma City is not in Kansas.

I sent an email to the technical assistance email and still not heard back from them.

If today's game is blacked out for me again I will not be very happy.
