So we checked out the new live stream of the NBC game during Thursday night’s Redskins-Giants game.  The video seemed a little choppy, and with the game right there on the 50-inch Hitachi LCD that we’ve had for about four years now and that isn’t looking nearly as good as some of those new Sony models at Circuit City but that I can’t quite persuade the wife that it’s time to get rid of, it made sense just to watch the game on television.

But then last night I turned the TV off an checked it out again.  And it was amazing.  The video was flawless and it looked just like the television broadcast.

The best feature is the ability to choose the camera.  If you so choose, you can watch the entire game via the cable cam, which is like watching a real game through the lens of the Madden video game.

So next Sunday night I’ll be hooking a laptop to the 32-inch Samsung that we’ve had for less than two years and that I won’t start clamoring to replace for at least another three and watching all of the Steelers-Browns game on NFL.com, via the cable cam.
