    Default PBA Extra Frame

    Is anyone who subscribes to this having trouble loading the WSOB Championship rounds? Sorry if this was asked before. Thanks!

    Yeah it doesn't always load for me.

    Unless you're talking about the top 4, that won't show on there til after it airs on ESPN/ABC/wherever on TV.

    Are you under the impression that the pba isn't making money off ESPN broadcasts? all those commercial breaks and sponsor announcements put a lot of money in the pba's pocket, so ya i can see why they reserve the finals for TV broadcast. Xtraframe is just that, extra content that you don't get on tv.


    There is always more than one perspective to every situation.

    Very true,however it should be advertised in such a fashion. I would not have paid $70 for a lousy picture, you can't even tell what balls the pro's are using. And to me, that would take a majority of their sponsorship away? Agree?

    Also too, are you not supposed to be able to watch them live? Haven't found that station yet!

    Regarding not being able to make out the balls, the pba charges a lot of money to allow bowlers to use company X's equipment on tour, during events and what not, the pba doesn't really care if you can tell what ball they are using, sponsored bowlers will often give a shout out to their sponsor when on video (seen it a few times on espn)

    I can't comment on video quality however because i don't have xtra frame (i want to try it)

    During the coverage they will talk about who is using what ball. obviously they won't mention everyone but they do talk a lot about it.
