For those whose internet connection or PC is not good enough to view streaming video, KSL is also offering live streaming audio.

I tried on both my laptop and PC and the results were similar... either the transmission wasn't consistently high quality or else my hardware wasn't able to keep up with the refresh rate needed to display the quality of the video, especially if I played the video at full screen size. (Most of the time it was fine, but the occasionally graininess was distracting.) Despite this, the quality of the audio appeared to be consistently high. Unfortunately, I don't think that I can justify to my wife the purchase of a high-end PC just to make sure that the online broadcasts we may watch are not grainy. ;-) As better hardware becomes available, I'm sure that this will become less of an issue. But right now, for those areas of the globe where these broadcasts are not normally available, this is already a wonderful service even with current hardware standards.
