So, if your computer IS NOT within 10 feet of the tv, and is actually in another room about 30 feet away, what is the suggestion?

@Mandy,

The network’s website apps have been getting better, I must say. I do prefer Hulu and Fancast, but if they don’t have the show I will check the network sites.

A few reasons for freezing:
-Internet connection bottlenecks (do you pause it and let it queue up for a while?)
-Since it is a laptop, possibly video card issues.
-Outdated Flash. Most of the players use Flash, so that may be an issue if you are a version behind.
-Need updated video codecs.

In re: to the sports. To get more variety, have you tried ESPN 360? Not sure about all the details there, but that may be worth a look. I normally just check ESPN and watch the highlights, so I’m not too sure. For the freezing issues, I would say it is most likely one of the 4 issues noted above.

If you need help narrowing it down, I will try and help!

I love watching shows online although I tend to go the network website (abc.com for Lost, etc). Sometimes when watching shows online, tho, they freeze up for a second or 2, especially if I’m watching on full screen mode on the laptop. They usually run mostly hiccup free in the smaller pane, but it’s not quite as fun. Any remedy for it?

Also, since giving up cable, my boyfriend is interested in finding ways to follow his favorite sports teams. We were able to find some hockey webcasts but they were in a really small window and would also have a tendency to freeze up. Any suggestions?

Stephanie –

I saw that when I was browsing the movie selection, haha. I remember that movie from wayyy back!

As for the Mac laptops… definitely. I think most of them use a Mini DisplayPort adapter. You can get one for VGA or DVI for about $30 from Apple. I would imagine there are alternatives but I don’t own an Apple… so I don’t know.

Technology is awesome… gone are the days of DVD players and cable TV! We have laptops! :)

We do this all the time, with one laptop or another. Just a reminder that Mac laptops will probably need an adapter in order to hook in any standard cable, such as VGA.

Hulu is great! There are even some full-length movies on there. Just the other day I was watching Dragonheart on Hulu!
