    If any of you watch ESPN 3 broadcasts, I am interested in your experiences while viewing basketball games in particular.

    I do not have super fast broadband service but the video quality is fair to poor and the audio is even worse.

    However on the other hand, CBS broadcasts are clear as can be and good audio. The picture size is almost twice as large as ESPN.

    I am surprised the King of the Hill is so far behind?

    i really haven't watched much live sports online on my computer to tell you the truth. I just have regular dsl at home and I am connected to the internet with my TV and have accessed tv shows and movies using Amazon.Com and they stream well. Of course in those cases they can buffer quite a bit to help with the stream, while live sports doesn't do that.

    CBS comes in much clearer here than any of the ESPN channels.

    So how did it look during the Mich St. game?....probably really wavy, and woozy, and gurggly.....or is that how you felt Don?

    :lol: :twisted: :p

    Oh I know Stu, the history and lore of the Buckeyes, grown even stronger by the hiring of the legend (twice retired) Urban Meyer.....alas, I can only hold onto the soon to be short lived fact that Nebraska has the lead in the wins column of the B10 series....all is lost....all is lost.....(gunshot)..........................oh no worries, that was just me and my.22 long rifle sighting in on the Bobblehead Urban figure I posted on the fence out back.

    No, no my man...you missed my point...probably my fault.

    I was just sayin' teasing us about a basketball loss is opening the door this year...tough one for you...in hoops.

    And sayin' hang in there...football is coming. :)

    It's what we almost always say at Purdue...except during football season when we say hang on...basketball is coming.

    GUYS...I was just being old reliably ratical AJ...no worries. Any chance I get to talk FB smack....you know I do.... :lol:

    Oh, and have you heard the latest? After this season, Tom Osborne is going to make a grab for Calipari. Personally, I'd rather have Bobby Knight.

    The booblehead Urban is pretty cool. It comes with 5 different coaching hats you can put on him but I think it also comes with the same 15 day warranty as the FIAT 500.
