Is there some logistical reason that if QB1 doesn't become the default on either Channel 1 or 2 that BT can't offer QB1 as the default on both the channels? Some places have more trivia players; some places have more card players. At SRO OT, we have both--and frankly we'd still rather it be that QB1 be the default on Channel 1, because the location used to have such a thriving QB1 team that I forced the location to change it's manager password after in the middle of a Playback game, someone switched it out. We don't play much until Super Bowl time, but I hate to think folks show up and don't find the game on when they rightfully expect it to be.

,I only remember qb1 being the default on Monday nights and for a few special games. A few local places programmed in additional games. I do remember all pro games and numerous college games being available on two channels, trivia and cards or sports as an option. Being available on two channels allowed local flexibility in programming with minimal conflict. BT needs to make it an option on both channels to give locals a better opportunity to resolve the situation.

Any nationally televised NFL game was the default, Sunday night, Monday night, etc. In it's heyday, the Sunday day games were always selectable because you were forced to play whatever game aired locally in your area. Therefore each week someone had to check to see which games were shown in the area and select accordingly. That's why the day games were never default, can't force sites to play games they can't watch.

College games were offered based on the TV schedule, at it's peak perhaps 12 were offered on a Saturday.

I agree that BT needs to make it an option on both channels for the added flexibility.

A player looking for a QB1 location on the Space Coast started a thread on BT's FB page, in which BT reveals it's putting together a PDF that folks can take to their location to show the manager how to do it; BT remarks "it's easy!"

I will admit, the following email link and BT webpage is an excellent idea.

For 20 years tech support could force feed QB1 to the site after kickoff, and regardless of what customer service might say, I believe it still can be done. The problem is that if this is done there is no opportunity to synch at the kickoff. But that really shouldn't be a big deal because many a time I've had to talk to support and get us re-synched.

Anyone playing QB1 tonight with the Colts and Giants game?

I just learned yesterday that the QB1 selection needs to be made before the start of the game, otherwise it can't be done. So anyone who is trying to get a staff person to override the default and select it has to make sure the process is complete as otherwise the outcome is not just that the first few plays or so are missed, but the entire game.

Was this also true back when QB1 was selectable on Channel 2? I seem to remember times when we were having trouble getting it, and we got a manager involved, and were able to join the game in progress.

If so, BT must be the only company that actually has negative technological progress, as once again something that could easily be done before (such as having QB1 selectable on Channel 2 as well as Channel 1) now according to BT's current staff would be very hard to do).

A very vague recollection: you could, but it was not immediate. You'd miss a couple of plays minimum. An early commercial break was a big help.
