I don't have DirectTV that carries NASA TV but I do have 10Mb/s Broadband from Surewest tied into a PC I have connected to my 50". Think that'll work??

Overall, it has worked out pretty well so far.
I think this is the direction we are heading. I have no problem hosting my team for this event in my home. We just need to weigh out whether we send someone to SJ to pick up the KOP or pay for shipment.
