Pardon this Neanderthal question, but I’ve never ordered/watched a pay-per-view program. Is this something you pay for and then watch on your computer or can you watch it on TV? If the latter, do you pay your cable provider?

If I read correctly this morning, the debate is only available online for $4.95. No TV coverage at all. Half of the proceeds go to charity…

So, you would put your credit/debit card info in the website before you watched…

If you have a video out option on the notebook, a cable, and a corresponding input on the monitor…sure..
