LIVE VIDEO STREAMING

The University of Arkansas in conjunction with the NCAA is providing a live video stream of the entire championship. The feed begins with the start of competition (9:45 a.m. Friday and 11:00 a.m. Saturday). To view the feed go to the NCAA Championships webpage off

www.ladybacks.com

and click on the live video link. The video feed is free of charge.

Also, if you have a satellite dish:

The NCAA is providing a satellite feed on both Friday and Saturday night. Coordinates and times are as follows:

Friday, March 14, Horizons2, Transponder 02, Slot A, Downlink Freq. 11746.5 (H), 10:30 p.m. - 11:00 p.m. eastern

Saturday, March 15, Horizons2, Transponder 9, Slot B, Bownlink Freq. 12035.5 (H), 10:00 p.m. – 10:30 p.m. eastern

Guess Flotrack is shut out the NCAAs again other than their interviews.

re: NCAA do right

The NCAA is 10 years behind the eight ball when it comes to media technology. They are still paying to feed information on Ku-band big dish satellites.

The NCAA is stupid. The internet is free.

That's only a VPR for the press with a few interviews. It won't show the action.

Still I wish a media person can still lift the VPR and post it on a video clip server for all to view.

...and so will be the live video internet feed, so what are you complaining about?

Isn't this what we all wanted?

Sure, it would be nice on TV, but with the conference champs going on right now in basketball, I don't see that happening on ESPN/ESPN2.

re: TB

They'd had VPRs for years from Arkansas. It's not a live feed. Just a 30 minute show with interview clips and a few highlights. The NCAA/Arkansas has been distributing VPRs for free to TV stations for unlicensed no-fee re-use. But for some odd reason, it has never been made available on the NCAA nor Arkansas websites, nor will they let any of the volunteer media produce and distribute similar video.

Also VPRs are controversial for journalists and public relations folks, because it amounts to propaganda, edited and crafted by the NCAA/Arkansas, eliminating the truth. Journalists do not typically like to be fed censored information. The volunteer websites generally have no rules, and are full of uncredited material, lifted articles, volunteer pictures, and voulunteer videos from IAAF meets worldwide, etc.

In either case, it would be good if someone with a Ku-band dish in the beaten zone could receive the downlink and post the VPR on youtube. Maybe even the NCAA will suddenly wakeup and post it on their site. If you know someone who works at a cable-TV headend plant, or local TV station, maybe they could wiggle a spare dish for 30 minutes and capture it for the fans. It's un-encrypted.
