The begist problem there has to be the lag. You have to rember there is
delay between a singal leaving TV center to it be broadcasted. This only
incress if you watching via digital services due encoding/decoding time.
So if you are watching L&K using digital service you would be at large
disadvantage to analgon viewer (Wow analgon douse have an advatage over
digital after all).
Also you do know that it isn't a computer making the moves it someone (yep
persion) moving joystick for you. Making not so amazing after all.
Keep it fun.
