watching sports on small tv

[dtvmcdonald]

I don't watch most sports on my small sets, but do often watch some parts
on my dining table small screen (but not small cabinet!) CT-100. Its best seen
from about two or 2 1/2 feet.

Almost all action fits on the screen even if seen via OTA TV, but nowhere
near all the info parts. Watching over cable my cable box refuses to allow
pillarboxing to NTSC so I get letterbox, and pretty much everything
is visible.

Interlace line pairing is not a problem from OTA but is hideously
obvious over the cable box.

Watching sports on my 10" and smaller B&W sets is rather painful:
the lack of color is a real big problem. On the other hand, its no
problem on my 3" RCA ATSC roughly 320x240 (16x9) pixel battery portable,
which of course is color.
