Colts Desksite App

[neug3246]

If you have not seen the new Colts Desksite App, you should check it out. Its is another way for fans to watch everything Colts. Watch videos w/o buffering or lagging due to a slow internet connection. I just downloaded it and could not be more happier. For about the last month now my computer would not allow me to watch any of the Colts videos online and I was going through major withdraws . Now I am able to watch press conferences, post game locker room speeches, locker talk, hopefully Facebook Friday if Pat continues the show, etc etc.

 

Here is a link to check it out: http://www.colts.com/news/article-1/Colts-Launch-DeskSite-Application/9a32bc55-cb8e-433d-8dc1-787b10be0e29 or you kind find it under the Colts News feed on the Colts main webpage.

 

Let me know what ya'll think of the new app, as I am a huge fan.

You sound like you work for them.

 

If “DeskSite is essentially designed to operate as a DVR for the Internet”, and promises that you can "Watch videos even when you are offline", doesn't that suggest that instead of streaming what you want, when you want it (as is normal), it's instead downloading everything that it hopes you might want, when you don't want it, in the background? How else could they promise that?

 

Sounds like the price of watching Colts videos whenever you want without lag is to have sporadic and unpredictable interference to EVERYTHING else that you ever use the computer for, with a massive commitment of hard drive space. And do advertisements come along with for the ride?

 

That's offensively intrusive, and perhaps they should make it a little clearer in the promo. Thanks, but no thanks.

. No I do not work for them just really like the app. Looking into it more you can pick and choose what colts videos you want to get in the category selection. If you hate watching the ColtsUpClose for example you can choose not to watch them and they will not bother you with the unwanted videos. They also allow you to set a limit in how many videos that may be held on the app so you dont have some that are months and months old. Its also will replace the old videos with the news ones. I believe this is for not overloading your hard drive but i am not that computer savvy so idk. It also works very much like the phone app in letting you know when new videos are available by advertising it over your computers speaker system. So if your working on something and dont want to stop it wont bother you by automatically playing the video. Obliviously if your are online I dont think it will upload new videos but once you reconnect they will show up. To get to everything they just provide you with a desktop tab that you can exit, close, minimize etc like a web browser when using or not using it.

 

Im not saying you have to download it but as I mentioned in my OP for some unkown reason my computer has not been able to stream or play any of the Colts video online and this app allows me to watch and keep up with colts media news again. I like it. I thought I would share it for other Colts fans to check it out. Thats all. If you want to pass on it that is your choice but dont be to quick to judge something by its cover without trying it out first next time.

 

PS. Princeton Tiger

They made it compatible for both PC and Macs so I bet you could get it on your Ipad if you really wanted too. Just a little FYI for you.
