BTN2Go is now BTN+

[Bugeaters1]

Has anyone messed with the new website? It looks like BTN ditched NeuLion. in favor of Endeavor streaming. it seems to have some different features where you can watch more than one game at a time. any thoughts on the new platform?

Thanks for the heads-up @Bugeaters1.  I won't subscribe to BTN+ (again) until the start of WBB but it's good to know of impending changes.  I've always thought Neulion was an inferior platform (but they do seem to have a lock on most school's athletic sites such as Huskers.com) so it will be interesting to see what the differences are.

 

It's a great  idea to launch this thread for everyone to give their imput/tips on the new platform.

Huskers.com has changed their platform as well.

Good News! 

 

Just supposition on my part that Moos, or his staff,  made the change.  I forgot who was responsible for that aspect of the athletics program, but I remember reading up on the deal with Neulion some time back and I got the distinct impression the deal was to maximize the $ to the university, rather than trying to maximize the fan/viewer experience.  If so, Kudos to Moos and his team!
