Stadium now has a Roku Channel.
Download the channel if you have Roku. It navigates well and you are able to watch on-demand games in addition to the live TV channel.

Yes I saw that. You can also get it free on the Pluto app on Roku.

True, however the big difference with the Roku channel is that the conference network games not on the main channel can be give a TV experience since you can navigate to those on-demand games.
MW Network and the Patriot Network will be winners as both have a lot of games via the Stadium platform. There are some CUSA games that are on Stadium on-demand that are not shown on the main channel so you'll need to keep an eye out for that.

RE: Stadium now has a Roku Channel.
Are the on-demand games free when accessed via the Stadium ROKU channel?

Yes. There are a few games that are premium though but are viewed with the $5/month subscription.

Yaaaaaay! Finally. I like Stadium, they have a good product and they continue to try and get better it seems. Reminds me of the beginning days of ASN.

RE: Stadium now has a Roku Channel.
The Facebook stuff is already starting to annoy me only because I'm having to go to the computer to watch the game (or cast it to the TV where it inevitably cuts out numerous times) only to check the actual Stadium channel and they're showing Sledhead or a replay of the Cornell/Princeton hockey game.

Facebook needs a watchFacebook app on Roku and CUSATV needs a Roku app. Those two things happen before next season and I'll be happy.

If CUSA.tv doesn’t have an App by August the commissioner should be fired for that failing alone.

I would suggest that everyone send a constructive, well thought out e-mail to Judy stating your wishes that C-USA get all of its basketball and football games covered at least on Stadium, ROKU, or ESPN-3 if they can't reach an agreement with CBSSN, ESPN, NBCSN, or FSN.
Please let her know that PPV on CUSA-TV doesn't cut it and other 'mid-major' conferences have exceedingly better TV coverage than CUSA does. I can find games on TV much easier that involve A-10, AAC, CAA, MAC, Southern, and Sun Belt teams - without paying a fee - than I can that involve CUSA teams.
I have e-mailed her about this myself and if she hears it from enough followers from conference teams across the board she may take notice of it as being something that is significant. I don't think it is beyond her ability to get something changed to make this better. As they say, the squeaking wheel gets the grease.

Done. I used much of what you said with a little of my own thrown in.

RE: Stadium now has a Roku Channel.
Hello,
I am a Marshall fan that watches every game I cannot attend, as best I can. I am very disappointed in our TV package. It's not that there aren't quality broadcasts available, but that the means for viewing these broadcasts are way too varied.
I have had to purchase an antenna and a Roku to view our games. I have also had to purchase 2 items that let me attach phone and/or laptop to television. Then I could view ESPN 3 on TV (Roku) and Stadium (antenna). I could then use phone to watch Facebook games through TV. I purchased CUSATV subscription which was also watchable with phone hooked to TV.
But, I also own a Sports Bar here in Huntington area. So I bought a wireless HDMI adapter so my laptop could send signal to projector for hi-def projected picture for all platforms. However, since each week the game was on a different platform I had to be there to set it up each week, instead of going to the games and, of course, they were only available on one TV in my bar. Not exactly optimal.
At the very least, you need to make sure that CUSA.TV and Facebook have apps for the ROKU. It is common and built-in to many televisions. I see that Stadium has an app now AFTER football season for the ROKU. It is imperative that one "means of viewing" is available for any of the platforms that show our games. It is simply not feasible to have 15 combinations of things going on for 12 games and a few others that might peek my interest. I can invest in Rokus for my TVs that do not have that capability in the bar and train how to use that one item, so that I'm free to actually attend games as I have in the past.
If you can't at least consolidate our many viewing options into one common item to "air" them on one or more televisions the same way each week (only talking football here as I wouldn't begin to try to get basketball games set up in my bar) then I have little faith in your ability to handle bigger issues that the conference is facing, like it's future.
If this seems too daunting a task, then I would recommend removing yourself from your position. It seems to me that getting eyes on our product would be the single most important part of your job as the conference leader. Yet every week through football season the forums were filled with cries of how to view our games, where to view them, and not able to view them. I'm fairly technically savvy, but a lot folks are not, and if they can't find a game on their primary provider then they simply won't watch and that's simply unacceptable.
Sincerely
David M Ross II

I just don't trust she can negotiate a good deal. I could be dying of thirst and I'm not sure she could sell me on buying a bottle of water.
