On Amazon Unbox And The NHL
Following up from yesterday's post, I ordered four classic NHL games via Amazon Unbox, and only two of them downloaded. I think it may be because my TiVo was near capacity, but who knows at this point.
The video quality is about as good as you could expect from game footage better than two decades old, but it's still exciting to watch it all over again. I can't say enough how great this is.
Another quibble: As somebody who has followed the Washington Caps for some time, I'm more than a little disappointed that two of the greatest games in the history of that franchise: Game Seven of the 1988 series with the Philadelphia Flyers and Game Six of the 1998 Eastern Conference Final against Buffalo. I hope both games enter the Unbox archive very soon.
In the meantime, I'll be downloading. And here's another idea: Why can't Comcast replicate this same service on its cable systems using its vaunted "on demand" technology? It should be pretty easy, shouldn't it?
