Watched it in a bar in La Mision (BC Mex). First stated you needed to upgrade-checked menu- was on...Horrific announcers, marginal play by the Aztecs.
Beer was inviting!

I spent the $20.00 for the FloFootball telecast. Got to see about half the game. Had to get help from customer support to change browsers, with about 5 minutes left in the 1st half the telecast went off line. Had to contact customer support again for new password and new link. All in all pretty much a nightmare for the $20.00. Now I have to cancel the subscription before the month is up or an on going monthly charge will follow. You know loyal alums and fans until we do what the Blue Smurfs have done we won't be on TV and will have to put up with this BS for ever. It is pathetic, maybe this new stadium if it's built will help.

I figured it costs me more that $20.00 for food before the game and gas for the round trip from Riverside County for a home game anyway.
I had absolutely no problem with the stream. I did watch it on Roku and not a computer, so maybe that was the difference.
The announcers were passable. Far from the worst I've heard on an Aztec broadcast. Whoever was in charge of posting the down and distance to the on screen graphic was terrible however.

My stream worked perfect on an IPad and a MAC Mini. It’s not a professional broadcast. It’s put on by NMSU students and “staff”. The down and distance was frustrating as was the fact that the semi-pro announcers hadn’t done any pregame research on SDSU and didn’t seem to know that Juwan had an injury. They were still wondering out loud deep in the 3rd quarter about why they still hadn’t seen our star RB.

Fox Sports Arizona Plus on Direct TV worked perfect.

He must of been the same guy running the scoreboard at game he was off on every other down.

I wasn't sure I would be able to get the game, but I do have Directv, so I tuned to the channel (682-2) the day before the game and saw that it read San Diego State vs. New Mexico St. game Sat. I have never watched that channel before and I thought I would have to pay for it to see it.
But, on game day I tuned in, and received it no problems, and it was beautiful and didn't cost me anything!
I don't see why some of you were complaining about the announcers they were credible, and remember they were for New Mexico St. (or at least one guy was), but they did give props to the Aztecs when they made good plays. Obviously, they were trying to talk up the Aggies if only to offer support, so you couldn't expect anything else. The same would be true on an Aztec broadcast.
It was Fox Arizona because they ran commercials for the Diamondbacks many times, and other Arizona businesses, but also for New Mexico fans they had spots for the local city, El Paso, and Ciudad Juarez.

Props for making the trip.

I live in Rosarito and thought I would get the game at home on any one of several websites, none of which had it although they said they did. By the 2nd quarter I'd have gone there if I'd known. You live down there in that area?

AggieVision is 100% student run. The announcers basically are staff from the campus PBS station and don’t have any formal play by play experience, and pretty much volunteer to work the games. It’s far from a professional broadcast, yet it’s pretty remarkable that they are able to put something passable together on a shoestrike budget and actually get it distributed on a major sports network. NMSU suffers from not having a major media market to support its program, so they had to take matters into their own hands, and have done a respectable job. The closest media market is El Paso, and you can guess how much attention they get from that market with a major rival there.

I've seen other streaming broadcasts where the camera operators were dreadful. As a student run broadcast I'd give it a strong B grade, except for the down and distance person who would get a failing grade for the game.

"Please remember, this is coming from someone who graduated many many moons ago" Why is it that San Diego State does not have some type of program or class that covers SDSU sports, Bigger local high school games, and just local events in and around San Diego? Doesn't SDSU still have the School of Theatre, Television, and Film? I am not talking major network type productions just something like New Mexico State or Facebook put out. The times are changing and Television as we know/knew it is on it's way out, it's all about social media now. Look at what KPBS has done for years. Maybe I am missing the whole point of Social Media but why can't SDSU put some type of program (or series of classes together) to fill-in this market. People are still interested in sports and want to follow their teams and or sports be it live or condensed down. They could see a live feed and later raw footage put into a into a podcast type show? I am not the expert here but SDSU has many Young, hard working, motivated and intelligent (and cheaper) work force (Interns) that could make this type of thing happen.

I am not the expert here but SDSU has many Young, hard working, motivated and intelligent (and cheaper) work force (Interns) that could make this type of thing happen. NMSU saw it as pure necessity. We were facing impending doom with our conference situation and the powers that be saw it coming and did everything they could to create their own distribution network. All the conferences were inviting new members based on the perceived media market (including the MWC, who invited SJSU instead of us, and the reason given was SJSU is in a much larger media market). NMSU really doesn't have a media market - it's a town of about 100,000 surrounded by 50 miles of desert in any given direction. The closest big city is El Paso which is an hour away and home to a rival university. The only sizable media market in NM is Albuquerque, and that market is 250 miles away and plays favorites with UNM. Tucson is about the same distance to the west and of course has its own university. NMSU has no TV stations other than its NMSU-operated PBS affiliate, and no major news outlets. The most read newspaper in town is the El Paso Times which of course barely gives NMSU the time of day. The Las Cruces Sun News is barely more than a fish wrapper. All that being said, NMSU recognized that it needed to figure out its own way of getting its games on TV, and they needed to do a good job of it so they would bring some perceived value to a new conference. Unfortunately we got stuck without a conference anyway, but while they're trying to figure out where their eventual new home will be they continue to develop AggieVision as a piece with marketable value to help them land somewhere. It isn't ESPN by any means but at least you can get the games from anywhere in the country with a little bit of effort. I do agree that SDSU, at least on the surface, should have the capabilities - and with a local Fox Sports affiliate it should be relative no brainer getting the games distributed if they were to put in the efforts to develop something. NMSU and AggieVision are like the Little Engine that Could when it comes to that.

Thanks for the follow-up, The point I was really trying to make is that a University (and city) the size of San Diego State is that we should NOT chasing around small off beat production of our football and basketball teams. I would think that somebody at SDSU as an idea of how to get some type of broadcast or production together, isn't this what this whole new "media" is all about. Come on SDSU marketing department get out in front of this PROBLEM and find a solution. I know this has a lot to due with our so called T.V. contract but there has to be a better solution then what is going on here.
