Script Result Question and the DIY Interface is Cool

[Steve Blethen]

With 5 tv’s (at least) and Mini’s being so cheap, the 8x8 might be a better choice for us.

Some might ask why so many tv’s?  In a word…. NASCAR.  We watch the off air show with all the commentators and ads on the main tv.  An AUX tv (or 2 or 3) will portray in-car cameras of our favorite drivers  through - the - windshield (or Kyle Bush if he’s having a bad day).  The second half of the season is hosted by NBC, they like to run a crawl on the top of the screen as the leaderboard.  NASCAR.com does the live leaderboard “correctly” as a column with time/laps back from leader.  So we put that on an AUX tv during that time.  Sundays are special at the S&S bar and grill…. Never gets too hot in the stands and the beer is always ice cold (and cheap).  The only obnoxious redneck around is me.

In the off season there is always “movie night” and news bingeing.  AUX tv’s can show wildlife/security cameras and stuff around the property.  An “HA at a glance” page is in the works as well.

I’m at least going to do the 4x4 and the 8x8 if anyone has any other devices that need a plugin and they have documented the connection please let me know!

The center one will be the “feature” and the surrounding (smaller) ones  will be used for wildlife/security cameras or supplemental viewing.  Sometimes the data will be coming from Mac Mini’s and other times the data might be streaming.  The 4x4 would be a perfect solution for this project.
