Problematic live streaming of Linfield at UW-W football game

Get ready for a too long sentence.

Here it is: While Wildcatville was roaming the sidelines, camera in hand, during the Linfield at UW-W football game in Whitewater, Wisc. (Jefferson and Walworth counties) on 12/7/2013, it received reports from Linfielders that the live video stream of the game watched at Art Larrance's Raccoon Lodge in Raleigh Hills, Portland, Ore., was problematic.

One Linfielder at the lodge said:
  • Initially, "picture quite good."
  • Later, "video feed sporadic."
  • Finally, "video worthless."
But, wait, was the stream watchable in Costa Rica (CR)? A friend of a Linfield saw it -- albeit intermittently -- in that Central American country.

Friend of said, "got it down here … though it seemed to run for only 40 seconds at a crack and then I had to reload …  good picture, though."

In case you wonder, kickoff of game seen in CR was 10 a.m. Costa Rica Time, same as U.S. Central Time Zone (includes Wisconsin)
