That date makes sense because the Cardinals/Mets opening day game on 4/1 is the only regular season game scheduled and it is being televised nationally on ESPN.

I was able to view the 350K feed from yesterday's ST game on my 50" plasma. The picture quality on split screen and PIP was actually pretty good. When I went to full screen, you could really see pixelation. There were a few stutters in the feed but nothing too drastic and they only lasted a few seconds.

I was using a Wyse V90 XP embedded Thin-client connected via the VGA port on my Plasma. My next step is to permantly connect the thin-client and add a wireless keyboard and mouse. The "cool" thing about the thin-client is that it is has no moving parts and generates little heat or noise.

Disclaimer: I work for Wyse.

That just cracks me up. Go back in time 20 years and think about how you would have reacted when reading that. You never would have guessed you were talking about watchng a ballgame on TV.

Russ, how much would this all cost to setup? I'm still thinking I can use a PS/3, but my son is concerned about some plugins that may not work. I need a backup plan.
