The feed for this game was heat during the first 1/2. Excellent frame rate etc. Then second half was terrible. Lots of jaggies, lost connection etc. Commercials were great to it was definitely the feed. Go Hawks from sunny Naples Fl
Not being critical, just want to give your guys feedback so you can do better. Also, Army commercials’ audio was twice as loud as the game. We know you can do better than this.
