SlingPlayer on my PC keeps up with the hockey action quite nicely (even when I go Full Screen on a 1650 x 1080 display) and is a good test of the overall quality.

Their hotel has free WiFi which reaches into the theatre area. Several around me wondered how I knew the "current" score. (Was too polite to leave it hooked up while the play was on but was able to check into the post-game stuff with Cherry afterwards.) The SlingPlayer was challenged to keep up with the fast action of a hockey game -- got a little choppy on the image updates but I certainly was still able to follow the play-by-play. (And the WiFi signal was "Poor" according to the WiFi program.)
