"Big Ten Network: Questions and Answers" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-11-13 12:02:17

IOWA CITY -- The University of Iowa football team plays its final game of the 2007 regular season Saturday against Western Michigan at historic Kinnick Stadium. The game will be televised live to a national audience by the Big Ten Network. It is the Hawkeyes' fourth appearance on the Big Ten Network during the 2007 season. Here is a brief Q-A for friends of the University of and fans of the Iowa Hawkeyes who remain curious about the changes in the television landscape in the Big Ten Conference the creation of the Big Ten Network and its discussions with the nation's largest cable television companies like Mediacom the state of Iowa's largest cable television provider. Following this meeting the Big Ten decided to fully evaluate having its own network to complement its national television agreements. The conference determined that it could form a network that would include football and basketball games while also greatly increasing the number of women's and Olympic sports seen on television. A: The notion that all Big Ten games were on free over-the-air TV is incorrect. In 2005 and 2006. 13 Big Ten football games were not televised at all. During that same time a total of 42 football games moved from being regionally or locally syndicated so that they could be seen on over the air stations to other ESPN platforms that were not widely available. Similarly in 2006. 85 men's basketball games received no television coverage while 16 contests were on either ESPNU or ESPN360. The trend of games moving away from local syndication would have continued with or without the Big Ten Network. A: The notion that all Big Ten games were on free over-the-air TV is incorrect. In 2005 and 2006. 13 Big Ten football games were not televised at all. During that same time a total of 42 football games moved from being regionally or locally syndicated so that they could be seen on over the air stations to other ESPN platforms that were not widely available. Similarly in 2006. 85 men's basketball games received no television coverage while 16 contests were on either ESPNU or ESPN360. The trend of games moving away from local syndication would have continued with or without the Big Ten Network. With the Big Ten Network every home Big Ten football and men's basketball game is being produced for a national audience while the Big Ten Conference's share of revenues directly benefit the schools. We believe that fans within the Big Ten's eight-state footprint should be able to see these games at no additional charge on their existing expanded basic cable package. Outside the eight states fans would likely have to subscribe to a different level of service. The network warrants widespread distribution. The conference is committed to broad distribution of the Big Ten Network's programming which has wide appeal particularly within the eight-state Big Ten region. The evidence of this is that on cable/satellite systems that currently carry the network ratings for its Saturday football games have consistently ranked among the top 12 programs among all cable programs across all networks. Ratings for football telecasts have also rated higher than college football on NBC and CBS and in some markets have rated higher than the baseball playoffs on TBS. Programming this popular within Big Ten Country deserves to be broadly distributed. Sports tiers are limited and expensive. Only 4% of households currently have what is considered to be a sports tier package and such packages are not available in all markets. One reason some cable companies want to carry the network on a sports tier is to drive more subscribers to these higher-margin packages. Comcast for example would receive an estimated $280 per year from a customer who is not already a digital subscriber and an estimated $138 per year if that customer already pays for digital service which is required to get a sports tier. We want to work with all of our carriers to help their businesses but we believe the core Big Ten Network service must be available on expanded basic television to reach the largest number of people possible. DIRECTV. DISH Network. Insight. WOW and RCN and about 160 other cable companies already added the network to their expanded basic level of service without a simultaneous price increase to consumers. The network is not financially viable on a sports tier. The Big Ten has committed to an unprecedented level of coverage of Big Ten events. The cost structure of such coverage which includes producing more than 400 live events almost all them in high-definition requires an ability to sell advertising and generate revenue that limited distribution on a sports tier would be unable to provide. Thus the network would not be financially viable if it were placed on a sports tier within the Big Ten footprint. Comcast knows this which is why of the 11 sports networks it owns none are on a sports tier. We have been flexible enough to be able to reach agreement on a price with 160 other cable operators and all those agreements call for our placement on expanded basic.

"Touch screen and cd-rom with Multidmedia Zinc" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-09 13:24:38

First of all. I must say that coat has a too bad documentation a lots of examples don’t work and there are some big bugs. In my measure communicate I add a routine to transfer new files from touch screens. Zinc FTP API works only in Windows but for this communicate all touch screens had OS Win so no problem. In this inspect. I open 3 problems first of all I can’t download all files togheter because Zinc had some issues to do this operation so when I transfer a register when onComplete event triggered I open another one. Probably coat didn’t copy all bytes from FTP server to client and it crashed. So I put a setTimeOut answer to call a new file after 1 back up and it works!Finally using change state method of FTP categorise. FTP session is comfort opened…so I remove FTP istance and it works! So crazy! Recently I produce 3 projects with contract and coat…I found a lots of interesting issues. When you bring home the bacon with Zinc in Flex you must add SWC library to use coat API so you carry it from 2 folders(one swc in for Flash and one for Flex but you could use both in Flex) and there is different way to implements same API with swc for Flash or for contract so take a look of which swc you could use to work. Another problem that I open is when you create a transparent application and you have mx:TextInput if you have focus in textinput component and you try to use keyboard arrows to move cursor you’ll receive an unknown error!In Multidmedia forum Peter suggests to me to use callLater function but it doesn’t bring home the bacon. So those are some problems that I would overlap with you. I wish that they are useful for everyone. <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym call=""> <b> <blockquote have in mind=""> <have in mind> <code> <del datetime=""> <em> <i> <q cite=""> <strike> <strong>

Posted on 2007-11-17 16:04:38

Apple released in the last days upgrades to it's Tiger (10.4) and Leopard (10.5) versions of OS X. For those unfamiliar with Mac OS X: this isn't just security patches it's somewhat comparable to what Microsoft calls a function pack. As such it can include stability fixes features etc and security fixes. 10.4.11 includes a long list of. Since it's a all or nothing deal there's very little real use in discussing all of them individually. Just take the plunge: there are a few bad ones in there so you'll need it anyway. Some readers wrote us that there might be some issues with it all so be careful. That said. I'm running it for a bit already and undergo not seen a single bad thing so far.
