If I go with Chromecast, the quality will be better than if I just run a cable from the computer to the TV? Tried doing that once and the quality wasn't so good. Didn't know if it was the video card in the laptop or what the issue was. Never tried it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I alluded above, for me I've had better quality on the big screen than with a cable. But the caveat is that you need a free HDMI slot and a fairly high bandwidth on your connection to stream well. And it only works with the Google Chrome browser (and YouTube and Netflix), so you have to use that instead of Safari, IE, Firefox, etc. but Chrome is a free download. Overall, I recommend it highly.

I have Chrome browser on my phone so I may download it on the desktop and laptop. Have free ports and FIOS's 2nd tier speed so should be OK. Thanks.

ESPNU is TV. But ESPN3 is not. But it used to be that you saw a couple USF games on TV, the rest were either not on TV or were PPV/ESPN Gameplan. Net effect is the same number on TV as always, but with greater access to the games that people couldn't see or only see by paying in the past.
