The Everett Silvertips have been offering free video feeds over the internet of every home game for the last 3 months.
Due to the popularity (over 2,000 people log in on average to watch each game's webcast), the system has been overloaded which has resulted in it being choppy, slow, sometimes without audio, and sometimes unavailable.
Beginning with this Friday's game against Tri-Cities, the Silvetips will be using a new system that has increased capacity, and a very noticible quality improvement. Note, that the feed is still essentially a "Jumbotron" feed, and not a TV Broadcast .... so there are times during the game when the Jumbotron is being used for announcements during game play. In these brief times, the Webcast will display the announcements and not the game, although the audio will still come through.
At game time, point your browser to http://events.onlinebroadcasting.com/silvertips/demo_player/index.php to login and watch the game. This will be active throughout the playoffs.
The Silvertips wish to express their thanks to everyone that has sent in their comments, complaints, and ideas with regards to the Webcasts. They are committed to doing everything in their power to keep the service free, and of the high level of quality that the fans expect.
