The poor quality of the streamed image from the Super Bowl is evident in this photograph, as well as the cluttered screen.

Like the New England Patriots’ receivers on that final drive of Super Bowl XVLI, the effort to stream the Super Bowl for the first time was good effort but fell well short of perfection – at least that’s according to those who attempted to watch the broadcast on their computer.

Not only was the quality of the stream poor for three quarters of the contest, but there were many other glitches that annoyed and eventually forced many who attempted to watch the game over that platform to simply turn it off and seek other more traditional means – such as an actual television.

In a post-Super Bowl story published by www.streamingmedia.com, the reasons for the failed effort are laid out with supporting photographs that clearly support the authors’ points.
