I just signed up for a new season of the NFL's Field Pass. This subscription allows you to listen to all of the radio broadcasts via the internet of the upcoming NFL season (depending on the package you purchase). I noticed a couple of changes this season.
First, it looks like it's now using an embedded flash based player, which is totally inaccessible. I don't see anything in the browser window at all, but I am able to listen to the broadcast. In years past, you've been able to select WMP or Real, and I've been able to use the Winamp with the WMP stream. This allowed me to control the player and do things like pause the broadcast, lower the volume and so on. None of this seems possible in the new player. Note that you can still navigate through the web pages to find the stream you want to listen to, i.e. the Dolphins broadcast of the Monday night preseason game between the Dolphins and the Jaguars. It's just that once you've selected the appropriate stream, you're now stuck in an inaccessible media player. There also doesn't seem to be the 7 day trial period that there's been in the past. I always took advantage of this 7 day free trial to ensure everything was accessible. This year, I had to take it on faith, and unfortunately I was disappointed. I don't plan on asking for my money back, but I did follow the contact link and opened up a ticket with NFL Field Pass. I'm just letting everyone know my experience and wondering if anyone has gotten around this limitation yet. -- Christopher chalt...@gmail.com To unsubscribe from this list, send a blank email to: pc-audio-unsubscr...@pc-audio.org
