As it is you have to be pretty hard-core FIRST addict to maneuver through umpteen sites to watch the matches. Plus some feeds have horrible buffering issues. Don't get me wrong I like what thebluealliance folks and others have done, I just think it could be a whole lot better.
They can't seem to handle the match data. I'd really hate to have them try to handle live video feeds as well. I know its a new system and all this year, but it was horrible. I do agree that its a pain not having a single source for video but its better than having no video at all. Leave it to those companies like twitch.tv that all they do is video.
