BTN2Go/BTNPLus Comments

[MidnightBlues]

New poster here, just a low tech retiree but big wrestling fan for many years. I just wanted to add a little information on the trouble I had Friday night on accessing BTN2go. I sign up every year for the wrestling season, usually with little trouble. So I signed up Friday night about 2 hours before the Minny match with no trouble using Mozilla Firefox.

All went smooth until I signed out and then went to sign in about 15 minutes prior to the match. I could not get the sign in page to move. I tried it several times on my new Windows 10 desktop and my older laptop Windows 7. No luck so I am getting pissed and sweating bullets trying not to miss the Suriano/Lizak match.

So in desperation I went on the new desktop and tried logging in with Internet Explorer - yes, success for a while and then that stopped midway thru the meet. Desperation again so I downloaded Chrome and that worked and got me thru the end thankfully. So, I don't know what will happen today, I'm about ready to sign in again early to see what works. Anyway just some tidbits there that may be of some help.

As I said I am a long time fan and lurker on the forums. I enjoy most all of the posts and the good natured banter between us and our friends in the midwest, especially the Chief! I know my memory is not too sharp anymore but as I recall there was wrestling in PA before Cael!

I had season tickets and was traveling up to State College to Rec Hall after Cael was hired. After a while the ride got to be too much so I depend on BTN2Go and the message boards to stay in touch with this great program.

Good luck Lions today and the rest of the season!

I wanted to rip someone's head off at BTN2GO Friday night. Hope the same doesn't occur today!

I have had troubles with my laptop. I almost exclusively run BTN2GO through my iPad and airplay to my appletv with better luck. For what it's worth.

I run BTN2Go on my older macbook pro and firefox without much problem, other than missing the first two matches Friday like everyone else.

Seems everything runs smoother on any of the Apple devices. Their OS (Operating Systems) just seem superior to any of their competitors. It shows in their prices however.

The quality was great once they started to show the match.

I've found that using Chrome has solved a lot of my streaming problems.

Broadcast was run by little kids. Random video clips, they switched to a basketball game, etc.

Not true. Common mistake when people compare apple to other devices. Apple usually has a nice product, but you are comparing two different things. One phone VS hundreds.
Hardware is very different and even the software from the vendors themselves affect performance. Many providers are also slow to roll out updates.
As far as the BTN2GO app..... it's just trash coding plain and simple. The whole being offline issue when you clearly have internet is just dumb.
Even on a PC their site is riddled with issues, like delays and commercials appearing in the middle of matches.
Flo drops the ball also, and I give them grief about it. If you charge for a product, it's your duty to provide the best you can. If you fail improve it. So far the people that cover this sport do a huge disservice to it's fans by making them pay for service, which pales in comparison to service we can get in other sports free. Flo also has no support at all for Android btw which is a shame. Android OS has 90% of the market. Yeah some of that is on cheaper hardware, but many have better specs than what Apple provides. Yet they have a Roku channel. Glad they do for some of you, but many don't have Roku. I have 4 smart TVs all android based.
I have sent two emails to the B1G about the last two days, probably won't do squat. If you are unhappy, complain.
