Many of you who follow college basketball are aware of the ability to watch the games of the NCAA Basketball tournament though March Madness on Demand. I not the world's biggest basketball fan, but I usually tune in and follow the "madness" online. I also have a 4 monitor setup. Often I'm only using two, but I have a third hooked up to my "main PC" and a fourth is connect to a test machine I have here for various projects.
Since it's that time of year, and I'm passively watching the games while working here on my PC, I thought I give a little glimpse of what it's like to watch 4 games at once. Now, granted there aren't always 4 games going on at once, but there are some times during the first couple days of March Madness that four games are being played concurrently.
What is my setup? Well, you could actually do it on a single PC w/ 4 browsers, but as I mentioned previously I am using 2 PCs hooked up to 4 monitors. One of the games is through a TV tuner card and my cable system. The other three are through the browser and March Madness on Demand. However, it was a bit sluggish running all of these games through my router.
This is Thursday afternoon, March 18, 2010. The two games on the top are actually both Florida vs. BYU, but as there were only 3 early afternoon games, I just doubled up for the effect.
I do really like the concept of watching live sporting events online and hope to see this adopted by some of the other major sporting events. Especially some of the events that take place during the regular work week like some of the major golf tournaments.
