Knicks vs Heat on my second monitor

Here's a screen shot of the image.  permalink
The game I'm watching is being broadcast on ABC in HD. I don't think there's any question that the content is available to be streamed to the desktop.  permalink
Next year this time we should be able to do that, with superior quality to what we get now.  permalink
Pragmatic reason to have this -- I would be able to live-blog more stuff. And develop better editorial tools for liveblogging.  permalink

Wouldn't it be cool if the STB connected up with my router, they're right next to each other, to deliver a huge pipe from their headerquarters to my LAN.  permalink
Could be pretty interesting. There obviously are some programmers working at Time-Warner. They're not very popular, but if they managed to produce something leading-edge with HD broadcast video, they might become a bit more popular. :-) permalink
What you're not seeing is how choppy it is. Even with the low resolution, it's pretty much impossible to watch a fast game like this with all the freezing it does. You miss the good parts of the good plays.  permalink
