  1. Re:This makes me happy. by GiorgioG · · Score: 1 · on Microsoft Partners With Zend

    Hey - don't knock Buffalo - some of are happy with our new Jumping-Slug Sabres logo (http://www.sabres.com/). Really though... You can make plenty of $ in Buffalo (and considering the cost of living here, you'd be a fool to go work in a high-demand area.) Just pick a more in-demand technology...

    Congratulations, you're the only other hockey fan that posts here.

    And for those of you that are curious:

    Buffalo Sabres Roster and look for #81, Miroslav Satan.

    Satan is still in Buffalo. Considering it's about 25 F and snowing there, I'll bet he's reaching for his winter parka.

    That seems reasonable to me--but technologically its not quite there yet.

    I beg to differ. The technology is there already. In Western New York, we have a (cable) station called Empire Sports. Empire sports broadcasts regional sports coverage, like the Buffalo Sabres and such. It broadcasts to Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, over satellite, and points in between. It's interesting because I just watch the Sabres games.

    Empire is owned by Adelphia Cable. Rochester is served by Time Warner. Adelphia broadcasts over to Time Warner. There is a system that lets Time Warner know that a local commercial coming on so Time Warner's system can add a local ad din it's place. That's why I see ads for Irondequoit Dodge in Rochester, but not ads for Gambino Ford , which is in Buffalo. I'll see ads for Time Warner's Road Runner service, and not Adelphia's Power Link service. (It doesn't always work, sometimes during Sabres games, we'll see an ad for Adelphia or something, but usually it works.)

    Of course, the downside is sometimes the system works too well. I've seen the game get cut off here in Rochester with Time Warner throwing in a commercial (for some strange reason.) It's not perfect, but it is working.

  7. Re:When will they learn? by Misch · · Score: 2 · on Networks and Studios Against PVRs
    Reminds me of what Empire Sports does with Buffalo Sabres boradcasts. The live showing has all the glitz and the commercials. A later broadcast of the game (Usually at midnight, though sometimes the next day for those 9:00 and 10:00 starts on the west coast) cuts out the between-period commentary and interviews and such, and cuts in-game commercials to :30 to 1:00. The resulting broadcast is much much shorter, making it ideal for people to tape.

    (Of course, this only works because Adelphia Cable owns the Sabres, the cable network, and the Empire Sports tv station. They don't have to pay loads of extra fees the way other stations would have to.

    All in all, I don't worry too much about missing a hockey game live because it's broadcast again that night and it's not *too* long so I'm up *too* late watching it.
