CHL Network Gets Upgrade for Second Half of the Season
January 9, 2009 - Central Hockey League (CHL) News Release
The Central Hockey League (CHL) and its broadcast partner NiFTyTV will be introducing a new CHL Network Player Version 3.0 over the All-Star break. Fans can still watch all CHL games FREE throughout the second half of the season and the Ray Miron President's Cup Playoffs.
"NiFTyTV has worked very hard to enhance its online player and give fans more options for their viewing experience," said Bob Hoffman, CHL's Director of Communications. "These additions to the player along with the improved picture quality will bring CHL games off of your computer screens and right into your living rooms or offices."
The enhancements include the addition of CHL Video On Demand (VOD) which allows you to watch any previously broadcasted game this season, anytime. Viewers can stop, pause and jump to any point in the broadcast. Additionally, the picture quality on the player has been improved and a wide screen mode is now available for watching games that will give fans a better view and a much different perspective of the action.
Other features with the upgraded CHL Network Player Version 3.0 include an "Invite a Friend" feature that allows you to send an invitation for a friend to catch a CHL game on the CHL Network and game reminders that will send fans an email or text message before a broadcast begins. Viewers can choose how far in advance they want the reminder sent.
"We are very happy that the CHL Network viewers are the first to experience the new 3.0 version," said Michael Chin, NiFTyTV's Chief Operating Officer. "All of the new features are aimed at improving the viewer experience."
An upgrade from the previous CHL Network Player is necessary to experience the new features provided by Version 3.0. Existing CHL Network viewers need only to launch their player and it will automatically prompt them to upgrade. New viewers can simply download the new Version 3.0 player. For more information about the CHL Network Player and the upgrade process, as well as CHL Network coverage of the upcoming 2009 CHL All-Star Game, go to www.NiFTyTV.com/CHL.
